Chapter Summaries

Six-year-old Yun Duo, a transmigrator living as a prince in Skywater City, recalled how his parents were killed during the war and blamed the Star Luo Empire and Clear Sky Sect. On the eve of his martial soul awakening, he planned to grow stronger and eventually avenge them, first by claiming the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
