Chen Yan, a Nine-Turn Immortal Venerable, died while undergoing tribulation. A wisp of his surviving soul returned to his youth, where he became the good-for-nothing young master of the Chen family in Qingyang City.
His spiritual root was judged an inferior waste, and he suffered the cold disdain of his clan. His mother had once saved the family from ruin, but now that she was gone, her sacrifices were forgotten. The elders even joined forces to pressure him into surrendering the heirloom jade pendant she had left behind.
Faced with the whole clan pressing him, Chen Yan neither lost his temper nor raised his voice. With the insight of an Immortal Venerable, he immediately identified the fatal flaw in the pendant’s seal, stunning the entire family.
He had intended to focus on cultivating anew and once again reach the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao. But as he investigated the cause of his family’s decline, he discovered that the spiritual leyline sustaining the Chen family for generations had not dried up due to a natural disaster. Someone had secretly poisoned and damaged it.
Even more chilling, the strange method used to poison it was identical in every detail to the one used by the mysterious enemy who destroyed his sect and brought about his death in his previous life.
Within the clan, petty rivals fought for power; beyond it, the enemies of his past life lurked in the shadows. In this life, Chen Yan would restore the leyline, rebuild his family’s honor, shatter every obstacle on the road to immortality, exterminate all his enemies, and return to the peak of the Nine Heavens!
