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.
"Elder Ning, which level does Lang Yilang go to every time he's here?" asked Chu Yang, his eyes bright and shiny.
"The fourth level… Why are you asking that?" asked a weirded out Ning Tianya after answering.
"I see, the fourth level…" Chu Yang chuckled sneakily. "Which direction did he come from every time? And in which direction did he go into seclusion?"
Ning Tianya rolled his eyes. "How would I know that?"
Chu Yang was dumbfounded.
Ning Tianya said, "This is the fifth great secret of the Pagoda Mountain. For everyone that comes to the Pagoda Mountain, once they go beyond three to four levels, everyone's path is basically different. This means that everyone would have their own unique fateful encounter. It is very difficult for other people to find the path which someone else has taken. Perhaps part of the path may coincide, but most of it will differ for sure!"
