Synopsis

Su Yi, the glorious ‘Master of Ten Thousand Daos’ reigns supreme over the Nine Provinces of the Wilds. Whatever he desires—be it wealth, power, or women—is at his fingertips. Despite this, when he realizes he’s reached his limit, he chooses to reincarnate in pursuit of greater heights.

In the last moments before his death, he watches as everyone he trusts turns on him for the sake of treasure, and his disillusioned spirit vows revenge.

Now, five hundred years later, Su Yi is back, but as a crippled live-in son-in-law and local laughingstock; his current situation is a far cry from his former glory.

Thus begins a journey back to the top, starting from the very bottom…

Editor's Note

💡 The "Sword Immortal" Insight

[The "Junk Food" Disclaimer]: If you are looking for deep character growth or emotional vulnerability, keep walking. This is a 3,600+ chapter marathon of Su Yi drinking wine and killing "Young Masters" who dare to breathe in his direction. It is the peak of wish fulfillment.

[The Moral Grey Zone]: Su Yi is not a "hero." He is an ancient monster in a young body. Critics often point out his coldness, including a controversial moment where he sentences a female enemy to slavery. He treats the world like a game he has already won, which can make the stakes feel non-existent.

[The Formula]: The "Azure Continent" arc (the first few hundred chapters) is widely considered the best part. Once Su Yi starts world-hopping, the cycle of "Underestimate -> Kill -> Recruit Suck-ups" can become monotonous. It is best read in bursts while "stacking" other novels.

Experience Curve

The Path of the Sword

Ch. 1–300 (Azure Continent): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The best pacing. Dealing with the Su Clan and the arranged marriage provides solid, grounded drama.

Ch. 301–1500 (World Hopping): ⭐⭐⭐
The "Young Master" conveyor belt begins. Great for action, but the monotony starts to set in.

Ch, 1501–3699 (The Apex): ⭐⭐
Massive scale, but lots of filler. Primarily for those who have become invested in Su Yi's final revenge against his past-life betrayers.

WebNovelDB Review

6 /10

A polished but highly formulaic Xianxia, perfect for those who want to read First Immortal of the Sword for pure, unfiltered power fantasy.

Polish: 8.5/10. The translation quality is consistently high, which helps navigate the dense world-building and technical cultivation terms.

Pacing: 5/10. The first 300 chapters are tight, but the novel later succumbs to heavy filler and "peanut gallery" commentary (NPCs talking about how cool the MC is).

Character Depth: 4/10. Su Yi is a static character. He starts at the top (mentally) and stays there. His lack of attachment can make him feel less like a human and more like a force of nature.

Originality: 3/10. It uses every trope in the book: the live-in son-in-law, the mysterious "trash" background, and the jade beauty fiancé with a mean mother.

The Good:
The lack of "edginess" and illogical mistakes. Su Yi is competent. He doesn't let villains escape to cause trouble later, and he isn't afraid to share his knowledge to build a powerful faction.

The Bad:
The repetitive cycle of antagonists. You will meet Young Master A, B, and C, and they will all behave exactly the same way until Su Yi cuts their heads off. The "sycophant" side characters can also become cringeworthy.

The Archetype:
The Reincarnated Sovereign — A man who has seen the end of the road and is now simply enjoying the scenery while trampling anyone who blocks the view.

Verdict:
This is top-tier junk food. It’s the kind of story you read when you're tired of MCs being bullied or losing. Su Yi is the ultimate "cheat code." If you can stomach the formulaic plot and the MC's extreme arrogance, it’s a very satisfying way to pass the time.

Key Information

Main Characters: Su Yi — Formerly known as the "Master of Ten Thousand Daos," he reigned supreme for over 100,000 years before reincarnating to break through his cultivation limits. He awakens 500 years later as a "crippled" live-in son-in-law. Su Yi is defined by bone-deep pride, a lazy yet contemptuous demeanor, and a "been there, done that" attitude toward the world's powerhouses.

Power System: Dao-based Cultivation. While he starts from zero in a "trash" body, Su Yi's advantage lies in his flawless combat experience and deep understanding of the Sword Dao. He doesn't just cultivate; he refines his past-life arts to reach a "perfect" state that allows him to crush grandmasters even at lower ranks.

Themes: A classic reincarnation/revenge arc mixed with "hidden expert" tropes. The story explores the gap between Su Yi’s internal status as an ancient peak master and his external status as a social laughingstock, leading to a constant cycle of face-slapping and decisive killing.
