The Martial Saint begins by collecting corpses.

Lu Ming transmigrated to the Great Sheng Dynasty and became a corpse collector. Little did he know that the corpses here could potentially transform into monsters, making survival a difficult and perilous task for the corpse collector. Even so, the chaos of the world led to fierce competition for his livelihood… Fortunately, he possessed the supreme treasure, the Heavenly Heart Seal, which allowed him to act on behalf of Heaven, reclaiming some of the corpses' former abilities; the monsters were merely nourishment for him. Collecting corpses granted him martial arts experience. He acquired the martial art of the Mighty Fist. He acquired the sword technique of the One-Line Sharpness. He acquired incomplete bone structure… Starting from the lowest level of a corpse collector, Lu Ming silently cultivated, step by step ascending to the pinnacle of martial arts. Suddenly one day, the emperor became incompetent, wreaking havoc on the world. Lu Ming murmured, “Low-level corpses are of little use to me now; I wonder what the emperor’s corpse is like?” That day, a celestial blade descended from the sky, severing a dragon's spine, collapsing a giant pillar, shattering a royal canopy, and beheading the emperor before the officials, blood splattering three feet. Deep within the palace, the Emperor roared in fury: "Who dares to be so insolent!" "The one who collects the corpses of the dynasty," a faint voice echoed from all directions. That day, the dynasty changed hands, and peace returned to the land.
