The young Yang Che is framed and thrown into an abyss, where he unexpectedly obtains the long-lost Heaven and Earth Chaos Art and awakens a pair of mutated immortal roots, setting him on the path of cultivation. Because his technique counters the corpse path, he is drawn into a sect crisis that has lasted a thousand years and meets Wu Qingxuan, a woman harboring secrets. Supporting each other through numerous trials, they gradually uncover the truth behind the fall of the Xuanqing Sect and the seal on the Royal-Blood Corpse. Just as the crisis subsides, Tianxie Ziyin awakens from her slumber in the deep sea, while forces from the upper realm turn their attention to Yang Che, and an even greater storm quietly approaches.
