Kaelen Thorne has one simple goal: stay on Sword-Hiding Peak and live an easy life. He doesn't want disciples. He doesn't want fame. And he certainly doesn't want trouble. Then Seraphina Valerius arrives. Beautiful, cold, extraordinarily talented—and determined to become his disciple. What Kaelen Thorne doesn't know is that his new disciple is the reincarnation of the Heartless Empress, a legendary cultivator who was betrayed and killed by three powerful enemies in her previous life. And what Seraphina Valerius doesn't know is that her seemingly lazy master is hiding power far beyond what his Spirit Realm combat suggests. Between impossible combat breakthroughs, mysterious treasures, demon emperors, ancient bloodlines, and enemies seeking revenge, Sword-Hiding Peak is about to become the most dangerous—and unexpected—place in the Eastern Continent.
