Qin Hao had poor cultivation aptitude as a child and nearly got kicked out of the ancestral home. Luckily, before the county school entrance test, he met an otherworldly visitor who helped him. When the family tested his aptitude, he revealed astonishing talent, making the Qin family's rival, the Lin family, so jealous that they tried to kill him, but failed. Qin Hao successfully entered county school and became the direct disciple of a famous summoner there. From then on, he cultivated diligently, became the top performer in the county school's freshman trial, and was also accepted as a nominal disciple by the dean.
During a school break, Qin Hao was shocked to learn that the Lin family and a group of men in black had surrounded his family and given them a deadline before wiping them out. When Qin Hao asked his second master for help in returning home to fight the enemy, the men in black recognized his hidden identity in alarm, acknowledged him as their master, and urged him to take revenge. But Qin Hao felt no hatred and focused solely on cultivation. To help Qin Hao cultivate and take revenge, the Shadow Guards took him to the Great Liang Kingdom to compete for a great opportunity. Just then, the imperial family's Dragon Shadow Guards came to destroy the Qin family. Qin Hao narrowly escaped and made his way to the Great Liang Kingdom, where he gained a great fortune. When he returned to the Great Xia Kingdom, he heard that his county school teacher had been captured by the imperial family. Grief-stricken, Qin Hao swore to rescue his mentor and avenge his family.
He then continued his cultivation at the Daoist academy. During a tournament, Qin Hao unleashed the power of the strongest cultivator in the Great Xia Kingdom and captured the emperor. He then learned that his biological parents were still alive, and that the destruction of the Qin family and the capture of his teacher had actually been a scheme orchestrated by the Shadow Guards to make Qin Hao willing to take revenge.
