After spending 20 years in The Northern Wastes, Kael Chen believed he only knew how to forge scrap materials into low-grade spirit artifacts, until Tate Wei dragged him into the Vast Pavilion in the Central Realm under the pretense of worldly karmic ties. Upon arrival, he saved the Southern Domain sect leader suffering from internal qi deviation, and recognized the man as the descendant of his benefactor.

During an assassination attempt, Tate Wei arrived to support him, and Kael Chen launched a ruthless campaign to purge the corrupt and counterfeiting power holders of the cultivation world.
