Earth-element youth Aheng harbors the legendary potential of a Vein-Wielding Master capable of holding off a thousand armies, yet is listed as the number one wanted target by the Vein Suppressing Bureau. His master's uncle protects him fiercely, his senior brother fights with his life, and his junior sister has a sharp tongue but a soft heart; his sect's members use their flesh and blood to block wave after wave of assassinations for him. As the investigation deepens, the past of that Vein-Wielding Master from a century ago—who was besieged by the entire world, with even the citizens of an entire city buried as collateral—gradually unfolds, and inside the Vein Suppressing Bureau lurks a deviant practitioner cultivating with living people. The youth steps into a century-old Buddhist realm ancient tomb, facing head-on that trace of lingering obsession, and finally understands—he must survive, not to run away, but not to become the second him.
