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.
"Everybody hurried to ask: What's your idea? Chouchang replied: The Heart Connection Technique. I believe all of us also remember how to use it. Everyone nodded. Chouchang said hurriedly: We will not be sealed up like this forever. Since he wants to use our spirits, he would definitely have to extract the spirits from the live bodies. But after extracting, though it is only the spirits and it has no power to attack, we will be under no restrictions for a period of time, after all."
"Everyone nodded together. Chouchang continued to say: I'm guessing, he's getting rid of us all together, so it has to be nine places that he needs to nourish the heaven at! Besides that, he has to send us into each position together for it to work. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done this."
