Chu Yang, the Ninth Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, sacrificed almost everything he had for the sake of improving his martial arts, including the love of his life. After spending three years locating the fifth fragment of the Nine Tribulations Sword, he was ambushed by all sides at that very place. Mortally injured with no means of escape, Chu Yang executed a sacrificial technique by plunging the Nine Tribulations Sword into his very own heart. “With the blood of my heart, ten thousand tribulations will collapse!” After witnessing the death of all his ambushers, Chu Yang’s vision began to darken. At a distance, moments before his death, he saw the mastermind who had plotted his downfall — Mo Tian Ji. With that, his eyes finally closed. However, with a start, Chu Yang once again awoke to find that he had returned to when he was sixteen years of age! Furthermore, the Sword Spirit of the Nine Tribulations Sword now resided within his Dantian, the energy center of his body! From that very moment, Chu Yang would then begin to right all of his past regrets, and carve his very own legend by fulfilling his destiny as the final Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, and defeating the Heavenly Devils beyond the realm of the Nine Heavens Continent.
Chu Yang nodded solemnly. "I'm aware, but even if it can only lend a small effect, I will still do it. However, this true reason that you speak of that is capable of affecting the big picture… What is it?"
Diwu Qingrou smiled and with a profound and meaningful tone, told Chu Yang, "To be honest, even if I don't get involved in this… and the battle happens as per the current situation, they may not necessarily win, nor will you necessarily lose."
Chu Yang gave him a passive smile. "That goes without saying, but I still wish to strive for every bit of help I can get, even if it is insignificant."
Diwu Qingrou replied, "Indeed. However, you've already done me a huge favor, so this time, I won't get to have you owe me a favor anymore."
Chu Yang laughed and said, "You say that, but your true intention in saying so is actually to make me remember that you're doing me a favor. Diwu, you're too sly."
