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 widened his eyes as he looked at the sword spirit's body which was bloated up. He turned out to be very corpulent at the moment, but his body flattened again. Then it swelled up again, then flattened again.
Such a cycle repeated thrice, then the sword spirit finally returned to normal.
"I see!" the sword spirit heaved a long sigh, saying, "There's no Heaven-Rising Grass, but there's now Starwood powder and Lust Dragon's inner core added to it. No wonder this Heaven-Rising Pill can be taken now…"
The sword spirit praised, "This person who came up with this idea is really a genius! Even I didn't think of it back then."
"Eh?"
