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 nearly fainted.
All I wanted to do was to use these blades as bait. How did it turn into me selling the dreams of the warriors across the entire world? There's no need to be this serious, right? If I were to simply sell these blades, then I would become the enemy of all the world's martial artists?
If that were the case… then this life would be no longer worth living!
Chu Yang was quiet for a moment. He finally came up with an idea, "Gu Duxing, why do you wish to pawn your beloved sword?"
"I… I need to eat!" Gu Duxing had no idea why his other side began to show as his mind was slow to react.
"Yes, you need to eat, hence you wanted to pawn the very sword that you treasure more than your life." Chu Yang nodded and pointed at himself, saying, "What about me? Did you consider that I have to feed myself as well? I will die of hunger if I were to not eat as well! Do you understand that I'm just like you?"
