The Good-for-Nothing Sword Venerable

Three years ago, Lin Xuan was expelled from the Qingyun Sect because his “spiritual root was worthless.” As he descended the mountain, a bolt of lightning split open a rock face, and he accidentally awakened the remnant soul of an ancient Sword Venerable who had been asleep for thirty thousand years. He inherited the Primordial Sword Art.

To earn spirit stones, he entered the Luoyun Beast Arena and fought opponents above his level, winning three matches in a row and stunning the entire city. At an auction, he spent five spirit stones on a supposedly worthless scrap of metal, only to discover it was a fragment of the Ten Directions Sword Stele, the treasured relic of the ancient Primordial Sword Sect!

The fragment drew the pursuit of demonic cultivators, but also led the Su family to take him in as a true disciple. During a battle in the East Sea, the Sword Venerable returned and instantly killed a Golden Core demonic cultivator. The two fragments resonated and fused, and the Su family head knelt before him in public to confer a title.

When he returned to the Qingyun Sect, the Grand Elder who had expelled him years ago protected him with his life, revealing the shocking truth behind his expulsion on his deathbed. At the true disciple tournament, Lin Xuan fought his way up from the seventh level of Qi Refining, cutting down Bai Yixiu, leader of the Blood Fiend Seven, and claiming the top spot among the true disciples!

When a half-crippled Nascent Soul demonic cultivator came knocking, Lin Xuan stood against him with the power of Qi Refining and drove the enemy back with a single sword strike, drawing the attention of the sect's Supreme Elder, a Divine Transformation cultivator, atop Yunxiao Mountain.

“You threw me away like garbage. Three years from now, I'll show you exactly what it was you threw away.”
