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.
"I was besieged not long after that matter. And, my old brother got seriously injured while helping me. Even his clan nearly got destroyed…" Young Master Yu appeared to be lost in recollection as he continued, "This piece of Purple Crystal Jade Essence is no treasure. But, I have put it here because… I have looked around the entire Nine Heavens, and no one has ever helped me except for that person in these many years!
"So, I have put it here to keep it as a sign of our friendship," Young Master Yu slowly said.
"I see." Chu Yang's throat had become dry. He felt that he wouldn't be able to speak anything else today. So, he struggled and could let out only one sentence from his mouth –'I see'.
It was too unexpected!
It was too… surprising!
It was… too, too, too… coincidental!
