Su Yi once traveled the heavens, his sword suppressing the starry sky, ruling a great world single-handedly. He once fought across the universe, dominating an era. He was once revered as the only “Teacher of Ten Thousand Daos” in the desolate Nine Provinces since ancient times. In the eyes of the Sword Dao giants of the desolate Nine Provinces, he was also the incomparable “Profound Jun Sword Master” on the Sword Dao. However, when he decided to reincarnate and rebuild his cultivation in order to advance further on the Sword Dao, before he entered reincarnation, just when everyone thought he had passed away, he witnessed the betrayal from those he thought were closest to him, the animosity from those he thought were most intimate, and his disciples fighting over power and treasures in front of his mourning hall, while his coffin was right there.

But misfortune seemed unwilling to let him go, reducing him from the Sword Chief of Qinghe Prefecture to a cripple who had lost all his cultivation, and even making him a live-in son-in-law of Wen Lingzhao, suffering the ridicule of his family and the world.

The only fortunate thing is that he has always been trusted by his sister-in-law, Wen Lingxue. At the same time, during his cultivation process, he accidentally opened part of the Nine Hell Sword, awakened the memories of his past life, and embarked on the path of cultivation again.

How long will it take for Su Yi to regain his former cultivation as the Sword Chief of Qinghe Prefecture? What kind of opportunities will he experience? How will Su Yi’s marriage with Wen Lingzhao develop? And how will he collect debts from those disciples who betrayed him?
