At sixteen, Jiang Che's meridians ran counter to their proper course, and he was deemed incapable of practicing martial arts. But by chance, he obtained the Martial Canon of Shattering Illusions, which let him see through the weaknesses in any technique. He ventured into the martial world and met Liu Qingmei, an heir of Medicine King Valley. Together, they set out to overturn traditional martial arts. However, the Tianque faction held sway over the martial world, and a warrant for their deaths soon followed. Under Huo Qingya's guidance, Jiang Che grew stronger and stronger, only to discover that his greatest enemy was the martial arts system itself. When Bai Suyi switched sides and Zhao Qianjun was brought to heel, Jiang Che finally challenged Tianque. But to truly reshape martial arts, he would first have to uncover a secret buried for a hundred years.
