Chu Xuan, an Immortal Venerable who had traversed the nine heavens for seventy thousand years, was betrayed by the three disciples he had raised himself. Then a trusted confidant struck from the shadows, shattering his soul.
When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn in the body of a mortal with a gambling addiction. His cultivation was gone, his meridians were blocked, and he was saddled with hundreds of thousands in loan-shark debt. All he had at home was his utterly exhausted wife, Song Yueqing, and his little daughter, Tangtang, who seemed soft and sweet but was actually a powerful tribulation-transcending expert reincarnated as well.
He could not forget his enemies in the nine heavens, and he had to weather the hardships of mortal life, too!
He mastered the [Dust Gathering Spirit Art], turning the faint energy in dust, moisture, and the lingering warmth of lamplight, the tiny traces of energy in all things, into cultivation.
While keeping the household troubles under control, paying off the gambling debts, and protecting his wife and daughter, he would search the mortal world for spiritual treasures, rebuild his path of cultivation, and wait for the day he could fight his way back to the nine heavens and settle the score with every traitor!
The mortal world would be his foundation, and the dust would gather into his path. When his foundation was rebuilt, the time would come to repay blood with blood!
