В далёкой галактике, на планете разделённой между людьми, демонами, небожителями и нечистью, родился ребёнок, не имеющий способности накапливать энергию, а значит, он не может практиковать внутренние техники. Цинь Юй — третий и самый младший сын императора, меркнущий на фоне своих талантливых старших братьев. Дабы заслужить уважение отца, он решительно выбирает более трудный и болезненный путь практики внешних техник.

Having problems with his meridians and thus rendered incapable of practicing the internal arts, Qin Yu lives in seclusion with Grandfather Lian. To cheer up a depressed Qin Yu, Lian gifts him a peculiar bird, which the former names Xiao Hei.

Wanting to be recognized by his father, Qin Yu embarks on the path of cultivation. With Zhao Yunxing's rigorous training method, he strives to overcome his physiological hindrance and become an expert in the external arts. While resting from one such training session, Qin Yu discovers a red crystal that, to his surprise, fuses with his body. Unbeknownst to him, this subtle transformation gives Qin Yu astounding abilities that will aid him as he sets out, with Xiao Hei in tow, to prove that he is worthy of his father's acknowledgement.
