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.
The sword spirit said indifferently, "Go get that Nine-Earths-Soul Ginseng first! As for whether someone thinks they owe you anything, this varies from person to person! Don't think of things in a manner that they'll all be successful."
Chu Yang nodded. "This is not bad. One can only see the true nature of a person when he is in desperate circumstances."
The sword spirit said, "You're a bit too smooth in doing things. Before this, I didn't think that you have such great ambitions to rope in people who are enemies which each other. Don't you think… you are too broad-hearted?"
Chu Yang remained silent and said, "Wei Wuyan and Wan Renjie, as well as his two brothers, are great experts in the current times. It's a pity to let them go."
He took a deep sigh and said, "Sword spirit, I know what you're worried about. But have you ever thought about, what do I have now?"
"What do you have?" The sword spirit was startled for a while.
