In a world drowned in the Five Degenerations, the demonic path flourishes, immortals and gods devour people, and human lives are as worthless as weeds.
Song Yi was struck dead by a speeding truck and reborn in an immortal martial world with his memories intact. He thought he would live an ordinary life, but eighteen years later, his parents were murdered and his entire village massacred. He was the only one left...
Then he thought he would freeze to death one winter morning, until he personally killed the old beggar who had been begging alongside him!
At that moment, Song Yi awakened a golden finger called the Dao Comprehension Hall. Kill an evildoer, and they become a Dao Comprehender who cultivates in his place.
Dao Comprehenders can produce Dao Points, allowing Song Yi to break through his cultivation techniques with ease, without cultivating himself. They can also create techniques for him:
[The Dao Comprehenders rack their brains and comprehend the ultimate saber art for you: Dark Night's Fierce Light Slash!]
[The Dao Comprehenders let their imaginations run wild and comprehend the ultimate body-tempering technique for you: Moonlight Immortal Physique Art!]
[The Dao Comprehenders' thoughts pour forth, and they comprehend the world's greatest cultivation technique for you: Supreme Yin Secret Tome!]
From then on, he wields his saber to cut down every evil under heaven. He does not seek to become a savior saint. He only wants more corpses in the Dao Comprehension Hall to help him reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao, so that this man-eating world will no longer dare look down on him.
The holy sons of immortal sects, demonic fiends, and emperors of dynasties: all who harbor evil thoughts die beneath Song Yi's saber, helping him unravel the Great Dao.
He purges every evil in the world, his bloodstained blade at his waist reaching up to the clouds.
Only when the people of the world one day hail Song Yi as an Immortal Venerable does he realize that he has long since reached the summit of the world, master of life and death!
