Li Xiangtian, who has the blood of a dragon, was slandered and framed by his childhood sweetheart Lin Fei'er who colluded with Situ Xue, one of the ten imperial palaces. They forcibly took away his dragon blood and locked him in an iron cage and hung him on the city wall for three years, where he was ridiculed, beaten and scolded. Fortunately, Ye Feiling from the upper plane passed by here, accepted him as a disciple, took away his soul, and traveled through the heavens and the worlds for hundreds of years, collecting secret techniques and increasing his knowledge.
