Ye Cangxuan was once a legend—the supreme patriarch of body refinement who dared to raise his fists against the heavens themselves. At the very edge of ascension, with victory almost within reach, fate turned cruel. Beneath the crushing might of the Ten Thousand Heavenly Tribulations, his body shattered and his name faded into myth.
But death did not end his story.
More than two thousand six hundred years later, Ye Cangxuan opened his eyes once again. He had returned to Cangzhou, the mortal land of his origins—only to find a world he barely recognized. Dynasties had risen and fallen. Old paths had vanished. And the Qingxuan Sect, the very foundation he had built with blood and conviction, had been betrayed, reduced to little more than ruins, teetering on the brink of annihilation.
Those who once fought at his side were gone. Friends, rivals, disciples—lost to time, their fates swallowed by the long years of silence.
Standing amidst the wreckage of the past, Ye Cangxuan made a single, unshakable vow: nothing would remain unsettled.
Though his power had yet to fully return, the will that once shook the heavens still burned within him. He would walk the world again, step by step, reclaiming what was stolen, repaying every debt of blood and betrayal.
And when all accounts were finally settled, Ye Cangxuan would once more face the heavens—this time not to fall, but to ascend, and claim the very pinnacle of the Great Dao.
