Li Mo, a Martial Ancestor who suffered a cultivation deviation, transmigrates into the body of an exile who was beaten to death. As soon as he opens his eyes, he sees several constables abusing a group of women exiled to the Northern Wastelands by the imperial court. He steps in to save them, but killing the constables earns him an even harsher sentence.
In these chaotic times, the court is corrupt, the feudal lords are divided, and the Buddhist sect is causing turmoil. The Tianlang people seize the chance to invade through the pass, and the border troops collapse for a thousand miles. Li Mo is assigned to the "Death Camp" as cannon fodder. No one who enters the Death Camp comes back; survival is all but impossible. Yet he carves a path to survival through the jaws of death.
