In a chaotic age, the orphaned young Jiang Ping'an awakens a treasure basin capable of duplicating supplies through the power of blood. This grants him the chance to embark on the path of cultivation. His hometown is destroyed by bandits, and his dearest friend, Hu Niu, is taken away by a cultivator. Burdened with a blood feud, he painstakingly trains in cultivation techniques, repeatedly defeating stronger opponents despite his weakness. He slays corrupt officials and bandits, earning a government wanted notice. Later, a fortuitous encounter grants him a supreme cultivation technique, allowing him to unlock extraordinary, heaven-defying uses for obscure techniques. He is invited to compete in the Contest of a Hundred Commanderies, where the world's most talented young cultivators gather, and sets off on an entirely new journey.
