Once a rising star among the disciples of Azure Origin Sect, Ethan Carter distinguished himself as a body cultivator of unmatched potential. However, his future was abruptly shattered when he became the victim of a cruel conspiracy orchestrated by the sect's revered saintess.
Falsely accused and publicly slandered, Ethan was stripped of his position as a direct disciple and exiled to the remote and ominous Tomb of Forgotten Ancestors, where he was tasked with endless, dreary guard duty.
Just as his life seemed destined for obscurity, Ethan’s fortunes changed.
He awakened a mysterious fishing system that granted him generous rewards for completing daily fishing tasks—mystic elixirs, legendary weapons like the Black Chaos Sword, profound arts such as the Primordial Flame Body Forging Technique, and rare artifacts including the Void Clock. Driven by these miraculous gifts, Ethan embarked on decades of solitary cultivation, painstakingly refining both body and spirit.
In time, Ethan achieved the legendary realm of unity between man and sword, his power eclipsing that of his former peers and the very sect that cast him out.
Yet, as he left the Azure Origin Sect behind to seek the pinnacle of martial arts on his own terms, an unprecedented disaster befell the sect. When all hope seemed lost, the same saintess who had once wronged him came searching in desperation, tears in her eyes, and pleaded, “I am the saintess of the Azure Origin Sect—please, return to save us!”
