At thirty-five, Wu Lei had spent half his life drifting through the ordinary bustle of Yangcheng. A sudden car accident took his life.
His soul drifted free, destined to vanish between heaven and earth, but he was fortunate enough to be saved by the remnant divine soul of an ancient Sword Immortal.
Moved by the resilience of his spirit, the Sword Immortal took him as a disciple, bestowed upon him a primal sword seed, and passed on the entirety of his lifelong swordsmanship inheritance.
The remnant spirit dissipated, and Wu Lei’s soul fell into the Azure Dragon Continent, where he became a rootless, low-ranking rogue cultivator with a mixed spirit root.
Powerful cultivators abound in this world. The Nine Great Immortal Sects stand high above all others, while prodigies with rare spirit roots run rampant. For ordinary cultivators, seeking the Dao is harder than reaching the heavens.
The Ascension Assembly, held once every ten years, opens as scheduled. The valley is shrouded in mist, and cultivators gather from far and wide.
The stranger from another world, bearing the legacy of the Sword Immortal, steps into Ascension Valley.
Countless arts are unleashed, and geniuses clash for supremacy.
Watch as an ordinary man from another world finds a way to thrive amid desperate trials and tribulations.
