When Jace was a newborn baby, he was branded with a metal bracer to prevent cultivation. Destined to live a life of slavery for a crime he didn't commit, Jace can only dream of one day becoming a powerful cultivator and leaving his shackles behind.

But when danger threatens the life of his sister, Jace decides to take fate into his own hands. He boldly escapes his master's estate and makes his way through dangerous lands to rescue his sister.

As a lowly seared facing powerful hunters looking to punish him for escaping, and deadly monsters wanting to make a meal of him, he has only one option: Grow stronger.
