Action

Long Chen, a crippled youth who cannot  cultivate, is constantly targeted and bullied by his fellow noble heirs.  After a particularly vicious beating, he wakes up and realizes a Pill  God’s soul has somehow merged with him, giving him some additional  memories. Within those memories is the mysterious Nine Star Hegemon Body  Art, a cultivation technique that even he can train in, but whose  secrets and origin are still a mystery to him. Relying on his improved  instincts as he finally begins to cultivate, he realizes a huge  conspiracy is underfoot within the Phoenix Cry Empire, one involving his  father, members of the imperial family, and even the Emperor himself.
    In order to solve the mysteries around him, he must rely on his new  alchemy techniques and the powerful but baffling Nine Star Hegemon Body  Art. Countless enemies block him as he attempts to climb to the peak of  the cultivation world.
    Fate destined him to be only a chess piece, but he would not bow to the will of the Heavens.
