A melody shatters the highest heavens; half a scroll of celestial scripture defies the cycle of reincarnation.
Lin Mo is a top modern-day guqin appraiser. After touching a mysterious ancient guqin called "Nine Heavens Encircling Jade," he transmigrates to Tianxuan Continent, a cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak.
Upon arriving in this strange world, he is hunted by demonic beasts and ambushed by cultivators. He also discovers that an ancient Demon Venerable has been sealed inside him. The guqin that caused his transmigration has turned into a streak of light and merged with his bloodline, becoming a supreme treasure coveted by countless factions.
While fleeing, he meets Su Li, a healer burdened by a blood feud. The guqin-shaped mark beneath her collarbone is closely tied to the massacre that wiped out the Xuantian Pavilion three years ago. One of them knows nothing of cultivation, yet a Dao artifact has recognized him as its master; the other possesses peerless medical skills, yet suffers from a deadly poison. They have no choice but to travel together to the legendary "Fallen Star Lake" in search of the truth behind the guqin.
But a greater conspiracy is unfolding: the Starfall Pavilion's plan to hunt down transmigrators, the Blood Refining Sect's thousand-year blood sacrifice, and an ancient dragon clan sleeping beneath the lake... When the seventh string of the Nine Heavens Encircling Jade rings once more, a dazzling, star-lit rift splits the sky above the entire cultivation world.
