Story
In the early years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the martial arts' sect Tianyuan Shenzong was besieged and suppressed by the new ruling dynasty and the other five great martial arts' sects after the fall of the Great Shang Dynasty because they were in charge of the former dynasty's protection. The leader of Tianyuan Shenzong at that moment decided to follow the path of immortality and chose Ye Xingyun to take over the Tianyuan Shenzong. Ye Xingyun doesn't know that he was originally a surviving prince of the Great Shang dynasty and in order to avenge the annihilation of his clan he convinced himself follow the path of revenge while consolidating the remnants of the clan.

Infiltration into the Qingyu Family
While escaping from persecution, Ye Xingyun followed the plan setted by the former leader and sneaked into the Qingyu (青羽, lit. Green feathers) family by taking the place of Jiang Yi, the ninth son of King Jiang Shang of Qi after making Ying Sha and Yu Yin imprison the real Jiang Yi. Under his new identity he is ostracized and considered a weakling by the other members of the family due to his supposed low power level and lack of blood relationship with the family (He was adopted by the third elder of the clan and his status was ever clarified).

At the beginning he only has the support of his best friend, prince Zhou Kang, who is still kind to him even when the real Jiang Yi had an abusive attitude towards the prince before the switching. He defeated one of his bullies from the Qingyu family, Ye Chengyu, while causing a surprise on his friend the prince and catching the attention of Ye Yanran, the quirky disciple of the great elder Ye Xueyun.

During the selection for a new disciple by the great elder of the family, Ye Xingyun would continue with his plan of vengence and training to overcome his power limitations related to his body, he is stuck in the 7th heavenly realm due to having 7 meridians instead of 8, with the scroll of Nu Wa giving by the former leader of the sect but his training would be interrupted by Ye Xingzhou. The latter seeks to defeat Ye Xingyun because he fears that his candidacy as the great elder's disciple would be harmed and this fear is increased by the words of the defeated Ye Chengyun.

Ye Xingyun dominates the fight but instead of humiliating his rival, he decides to stop the fight by mentioning that he can solve the mysterious health problem that has Ye Xingzhou's sister prostrated on a wheelchair. Her name was Ye Xueyun and she was the youngest genius of the Qinyu family before being crippled by a mysterious disease, Ye Xingyun not only promises to save her but also helps Ye Xingzhou to surpass the 6th Heavenly level with a new training method. Back in his chambers, Ye ran ran seeks to intimidate with a surprise attack but fails miserably and generates undesirable rumors among family members.

Later he becomes involved in ending the conspiracy between Ye Chengyu and Yan Xiao of the Yan (炎, lit. red or flames) family and plans the assassination of Yan family's scion Yan Jue. In the martial arts exhibition among the members of the Qingyu family to define who would be the disciple of the great elder, the Yan family appeared by surprise, seeking to humiliate the hosts but Ye Xingyun used simple techniques based on acupuncture to defeat and humiliate Yan Xiao, not because he felt sorry for the Qingyu family but with the mere intention of provoking Yan Jue. The leader of the Yan family takes the bait and wants to annihilate Ye Xingyun who is protected by the Qingyu family elders.

The new prince of Qi and Tongtian tomb

He tricks the court magistrate of Qi with sweet words and future rewards to win the favor of the court after being recognized as the lost prince of Qi. Likewise, the power vacuum left between the three great families of the region by the death of Yan Jue increased the ambition of the Xuanming family, however their machinations were stopped by the actions of Ye Xingyu together with the help of his entourage of loyal companions after saving Ye Xueyun from captivity imposed by the Xuanming family.

After the vermillion bird got released, Ye Xingyun decides to go to Tongtian tomb (古代通天墓, lit. Ancient heavenly connection tomb) in Kunwu mountains, which was opened after the bird was released, before Zhou's martial arts experts manage to arrive and discover its secrets. He manipulated the royal entourage of Prince Yunfei of Zhou and the other rival sects to gain access to the interior of the tomb and obtain the secrets of the martial arts but after that he has to deal with the members of the Guiyuan sect who want the heavenly fate oracle that a girl gave them after saving her from a ruined village.

The demon's attack and An Yun
After surviving the attack of the other sects, the life of our protagonist would seem very calm but this would last little due to the advance of the hordes of a demonic lord in the vicinity of Ning City while they searched for the new amulet recently acquired by Ye Xingyun. The demons invaded the Qingyu's family manor obligating everyone to resist in an underground secret room, everything seemed lost due to the superiority of the demon lord, but before being struck down, Ye Xingyun received the help of his former master which allowed him to get out of trouble and defeat the band of demons.

Her intentions were to get hold of the roll of Nu Wa's painting that Ye Xingyun's former sect master had given him. He refused to hand it over and An Yun kidnapped him while nullifying the King of Qi's attack.

In the deepest regions of Kunwu mountain, she decided to obtain the techniques' roll by force through psychological tactics but failed because Ye Xingyun admitted that it was impossible to do such a thing because his essence had already assimilated the techniques without problem. The two end up agreeing to a long term pact between martial artists and she ends up teaching him one of the ancient techniques of her clan, expecting its failure but unexpectedly dominates it even with physical limitations due to the lack of a meridian. After it they decide to return to Ning City, they cross path with Zhou Kang and the other members of Ye Xingyun's group while fighting against demons and the lust of the imperial nobility members.
