"In this life, I actually reincarnated as a mosquito. Alas, mosquito life is boring!"

"In this life, I reincarnated as a vulture. Alas, bird life is boring, better to just kill myself and return to the heavens!"

"..."

"In this life, I finally reincarnated as a human, but unfortunately, my talent is shallow, there's no path to immortality, and I can't reach the peak of martial arts!"

"In this life, I finally have a spirit root, but unfortunately, it's just a杂(miscellaneous) five-element spirit root. Cultivation is difficult, Foundation Establishment is difficult, and achieving the Dao is even harder!"

"This life failed again, let's see about the next one!"

My name is Jiang Yuan. Three lives as a human, a hundred lives to enter the Dao, and ten thousand lives to become an immortal!

Immortal dynasties, ten-thousand-year aristocratic families, martial arts sects, barbarian shamanistic traditions, demons, ghosts, and monsters—a thousand intricate powers, intertwined and entangled!

Chen Fan wakes up to find himself a Brocade Guard in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Dressed in vibrant robes, riding a magnificent horse, with his Embroidered Spring Blade glinting like snow and imperial authority granted, he embarks on a path of "life-spending" cultivation!

He slays demons and steals their remaining lifespan. By consuming this lifespan, he can continuously deduce and evolve his martial arts! From "Draw Saber Slash" to "Heaven and Earth One-Blade Slash," and from "Body Tempering Fist" to "Heaven and Earth Millstone Fist"!

Chen Fan: "Do you know how hard I train? Others spend money, I spend my life! Everything I have today was exchanged for my life!"

All the demons: "Then why don't you spend your own life? Why ours?"

Chen Fan: "By spending the lives of all you demons, I forge my path to martial arts!"
