Poison Sovereign of Doom
Gu Ye wakes up in the Poison Abyss, the forbidden ground of the All‑Hall Sect. He learns that the original owner of this body was murdered by Zhao Tian and Jiang Yixue, and he swears vengeance against the two. Trapped deep within the Poison Abyss, he is assaulted by overwhelming toxic mist. As a once‑good‑for‑nothing, he cannot resist the poison fumes that seep into his meridians. When he attempts to defend himself with his powerful soul force, he makes a shocking discovery: this body is the Ancient Heavenly Poison Physique, a divine physique he spent thirty long years searching for in his past life — the perfect vessel to attain godhood through poison. Gu Ye draws the toxic mist into his body to temper his meridians for the first time. While Jiang Yixue and Zhao Tian spread slander about him, he returns to the sect. He wagers on the Grand Sect Tournament ten days later: should he lose, he will forfeit his position as the Sect Young Master and take his own life. If he wins, he will expose the truth and claim the lives of Zhao Tian and Jiang Yixue. To boost his strength, Gu Ye heads back to the Poison Abyss. He finds the toxic mist tempering his meridians too slow and needs supreme‑grade poisonous creatures to accelerate his cultivation. Right then, he senses a supreme‑grade venomous beast nearby. Following the sounds of battle, he rescues the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Complete Sect, who has been poisoned and besieged by disciples from the Nether‑Ghost Sect. He obtains the venomous creature and elevates his cultivation to the Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment within ten days. Gu Ye returns before the Grand Sect Tournament. He arrives just as Gu Qingtian is being coerced into handing over the Sect Master token. Gu Ye takes the token and becomes Sect Master, and reveals the truth to everyone. The Great Elder is in disbelief, while Zhao Tian and Jiang Yixue stubbornly deny all accusations. Gu Ye vows to make them pay during the tournament.
