Lin Bai once held the heavens in check and fought to the death for humanity against the Supreme Ones. Tired of slaughter, he withdrew to the Blue Star, where he married and had a daughter.
But only a few years later, spiritual qi revived on the Blue Star, and sects from beyond the heavens descended in droves, frantically recruiting disciples.
His wife, Su Wanqing, despised him for lacking ambition and being content to waste away as an ordinary security officer. Without hesitation, she handed him divorce papers.
She didn't know that a casual swing of her ex-husband's sword had once severed the head of a celestial demon.
She knew even less that the daughter she'd abandoned was born with the Myriad Forms Dao Body, a once-in-ten-thousand-years constitution.
With her father, she reached Foundation Establishment in three days and Golden Core in one month.
She left behind the progress she'd made through ten years of bitter cultivation in the Sacred Sect!
When demons slaughtered a city, when the Sacred Sect humiliated them, when powerful enemies from beyond the heavens came to their doorstep,
the "cowardly good-for-nothing" everyone had mocked slowly lifted his seal. Clad in white as pure as snow, he raised his sword, its light chilling nineteen provinces.
His ex-wife begged to get back together?
The Sacred Sect begged him to become an elder?
Holding his daughter's little hand, Lin Bai gazed toward the depths of the heavens at the Gate to Immortality, the one thing countless cultivators longed for but could never reach.
"Sorry, but my daughter and I are going to defy the heavens and strike down immortals."
