The Blade Reaches the Pinnacle

In the Great Yan Dynasty, martial arts flourish, and the imperial court and the martial world are deeply intertwined. The young Wen Liang possesses an unusual soul consciousness. Returning home from Luoxing Town, he wants only to live peacefully and care for his adoptive parents. During an ambush, he risks damaging the foundation of his martial arts to save Li Qinghe, suffering a hidden meridian injury that proves difficult to heal.

Trouble erupts in Qinghe. The Li family moves to settle old scores with its enemies, but is ambushed the very same day and wiped out. On that day, as the Li household runs red with blood, Wen Liang's adoptive parents are also brutally murdered. In the wake of this upheaval, he discovers that they were not his biological parents. Burdened by a blood feud, he joins the newly established Imperial Jingwu Bureau, using his official status to move among various factions and becoming embroiled in one martial-world conflict after another.

Through trials of life and death, he awakens a special martial constitution. While tracking down his enemies, he unexpectedly learns about the family his birth parents belonged to. He steadily builds his strength and gathers a force of his own, fighting and advancing all the way to the pinnacle of martial arts. Only at the very end does he realize that from the moment his soul consciousness awakened and he returned to Luoxing Town, every experience had been part of a meticulously laid scheme.
