Reborn as the Young Lord of an Immortal Clan: One Hundred and Eight Tribulations on the Path to Emperorhood

Xiao Che, young master of the foremost family in the Immortal Domain, was born with sacred medicines cleansing his marrow, divine beasts pulling his carriage, and an ancestor protecting his path. But because his foundation was unstable and he misjudged people, on the night the Imperial Path opened, his close friend Gu Changyuan stole his Supreme Dao Bone. He could only watch as the Xiao family fell and everyone he knew perished. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the eve of his sixteenth birthday ceremony, with a Fate-Reversing Dao Seal now inside him. The seal recorded 108 deadly calamities from his past life. Each time he personally changed a tragedy that had been set in stone, he reclaimed the power fate had devoured and awakened a new authority over destiny. If he repeated his past mistakes, however, the price would be far worse than before. In this life, Xiao Che casts aside the false cultivation built up on sacred medicines and starts over from the first stage of body tempering, refining his bones and muscles from scratch. He uses the family's most extravagant resources to undertake the harshest training. At the clan tournament, he crushes a talented branch-family rival who tried to seize power with a single punch. At the sect's grand ceremony, he tears up his broken engagement in front of everyone. Then, using his foreknowledge of secret realms, he sweeps aside the heirs of rival clans. He has never lost a fight against an opponent of equal rank. In life-or-death battles against stronger foes, he turns injuries into insight and ascends step by step. A cool, aloof sword immortal seeks to sever the fate imposed by her sect; a princess of an enemy kingdom wants to save her crumbling dynasty; a young lord of the demon race bears a bloodline curse; and a saintess of the Dao of alchemy investigates a plague of medicines sweeping the Immortal Domain. They cross paths with Xiao Che as friends or foes, and their choices keep changing the shape of the Imperial Path. But when Xiao Che kills the first hidden pawn planted by Gu Changyuan ahead of schedule, a black heavenly gate, never seen in his previous life, suddenly stretches across the sky. The hand reaching out from beyond it shares the same origin as the Fate-Reversing Dao Seal. Only then does Xiao Che realize that being reborn was no gift. It was a test prepared for him long ago.
