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.
Flat Mountain Ridge, southeast region of the Upper Three Heavens.
Chu Clan!
Several months back.
...
Dong Wushang, Rui Butong and the others had been diligently practicing martial arts. Ever since they had escorted Han Xiaoran and others to the Chu Clan, the passion to cultivate had increased day by day.
After wandering outside this time, both of them realized one thing — The Nine Heavens are full of experts, and their current cultivation was worth nothing at all!
So the two brothers put in full efforts. Every single day, they found an open space and fought until the sky went dark. Mo Lei'er and Mo Qingwu fought against each other.
Occasionally, the two also practiced fighting with Dong Wushang.
Rui Butong was badly beaten up by Dong Wushang every single day, but he provoked him recklessly everyday.
Occasionally, if the two had new insights, they would muster up the courage and go together to challenge Yue Lingxue.
