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 thought that he regretted what he had done, but it was only after that I realised I had been mistaken." Tie Butian said in a low voice, "At that time, I questioned myself. If he was indeed the one who killed both my mother and my sisters, why would he cry? Does he regret his actions? Is he miserable? He deserves to be miserable after everything that he has done!"
"Even now, I still resent him! However, after a number of years, I began to understand his position and found it harder to hate him." Tie Butian continued as he clasped his hands behind his back. Tears ran down his cheeks and his eyes revealed his emotions he felt, along with deep conflict that was waging within him.
