When Gu Cheng awakens in a mystical realm brimming with treachery and ancient secrets, he finds himself reborn as the noble heir of the Daqian Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion. But nobility is no sanctuary. Betrayed by blood and targeted by his own aunt in a web of political assassinations, Gu Cheng is forced to flee the capital. Seeking refuge and purpose, he joins the Jingye Division—an elite force tasked with hunting down monsters that lurk in the shadows of this fractured world.
This is a cultivation world devoid of gods and Buddhas, where faith holds no power, and strength is the only truth. Demons, ghosts, and monstrous entities roam freely, preying on the weak. The empire is in decay, martial arts families rise in rebellion, and the court rots from the inside. Amidst this chaos, the title of “Great Sage” reigns supreme—a realm of power only the strongest can reach. Armed with ambition, inherited martial prowess, and his growing mastery over mystical forces, Gu Cheng carves his path toward becoming a Great Sage, rising above betrayal, politics, and the monsters of both man and myth.
Perfect for fans of political intrigue, dark cultivation, martial arts epics, and morally complex protagonists, this story delivers a relentless journey through a land soaked in blood, secrets, and raw power. In a godless realm, will Gu Cheng become the sword of justice—or the blade of vengeance?
