A Mortal's Path to Immortality

Note: The pacing is lightning-fast. One man, one blade, rampaging across the nine heavens and ten lands, slaying gods when he meets them and demons when he finds them.

In the autumn of the 370th year of the Dayong calendar, at the foot of Miasma Ridge in the Southern Frontier, sixteen-year-old herb gatherer Shen Huaizhi strayed into the ruins of an ancient battlefield while collecting herbs and accidentally awakened the spirit blade Black Blade Nethermoon.

On the day of his awakening, bandits from Blackwind Stronghold slaughtered Shen Family Village. Shen Huaizhi fled into the mountains carrying his gravely wounded, dying sister. At the brink of life and death, the black blade appeared and cut down their pursuers, but its power drew the attention of Zhao Wuya, an inspector from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

When the black blade's strange manifestation was revealed during the sect tournament, Shen Huaizhi was swept into a world-shaking game of intrigue involving the Southern Frontier demon sect's bid to return and a thousand-year pact among the nine great immortal sects.
