Auron Lane, son of the Lane Clan, three years ago gave his Spirit Root to Yuri Sterling. He was placed under house arrest by Roland Lane. After three years of seclusion, he emerged unrivaled but hid his cultivation. Yuri Sterling returned, engaged to another. Suppressed by his clan's second branch, and with his mother seriously ill, Auron began to reveal his true strength, shaking the Ninth Sky Continent. He gradually becomes the Sword God.
