The Soul Refining Notes of All Heavens

In ancient times, the sages of the human race collected copper from Shou Mountain and cast nine tripods to determine the nine states. Each heavy bronze weapon is transformed by a powerful soul, carrying the laws of the five elements and guarding the heavens and the world. Until ten thousand years ago, the "catastrophe of soul silence" came. The power of annihilation swept across the heavens, countless souls of soul refiners were devoured, Jiuding fell asleep, and civilization was cut off. Today, ten thousand years later, "soul erosion" has spread again - the souls of living people have been drained, leaving only the walking dead wandering the world. Jiang Xuan, an ordinary bronze craftsman apprentice in a border town, was born without a soul and was frail since childhood. He thought he would live a stable life guarding a copper shop, but it wasn't until his junior sister was infected by the soul and his master died to protect him that he got a glimpse of the forgotten ancient inheritance from the broken bronze bell passed down from his ancestors. King Mu's cauldron controls the mountains and rivers, the human-faced cauldron offers sacrifices to all souls, the blue dragon cauldron controls life and death, the white tiger cauldron controls killing... The nine cauldrons that have been dormant for thousands of years are waking up one by one. Starting from the small ringtone in Bronze Town, Jiang Xuan embarked on the road to find Jiuding. He has seen the tens of thousands of years of lamentations of thousands of priests in the human-faced cauldron, seen the time-staggered illusory battlefield in the Xuanwu Abyss, and seen the generations of grudges between humans and monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more he discovers that the source of the calamity of soul silence may have never been outside the heavens. When the Nine Cauldrons gather together and all souls return to their places, will he choose to combine his weapons to transcend and suppress them forever, or will he use his body as a furnace to burn out all souls and change to a world where all living beings have a choice? Bronze is silent, but the soul fire is unquenchable. This is the story of a soul refiner and the return journey of thousands of dead souls.
