[Completed] The Haotian Sect, the greatest sect in the martial world, had ruled the realm for over a century. Under the leadership of Chu Nansheng, its young master, the Central Plains martial world swept through the Southern Frontier and avenged a blood feud from twenty years earlier. Yet under an evil curse, the Haotian Sect ultimately fell.
There is a mysterious place in this world called the Valley of Severed Affections. The Southern Frontier's sorcery comes from there, as does the Xiao family's puppetcraft and the unorthodox arts of the Sunken Star Valley... Qing Li is the eleventh-generation successor of the Valley of Severed Affections. When she unwittingly saved a bringer of calamity, she plunged all living things under heaven into misery. Qing Li sacrificed herself for the Way, and the head of the Qianxing Sect followed her in death. With the martial world left without a leader, conflict erupted once more. The dynasty fell, and heroes carved out kingdoms of their own, plunging the Central Plains into a century of warfare all over again.
Did the chaos that engulfed the Son of Heaven come as punishment from Heaven for humanity's reckless use of divine power, all because of Qing Li alone? A childish incantation rang out, and the struggle between the two princes finally reached its conclusion. Prince Xiang was defeated and fled. The Valley of Severed Affections intervened in fate once again, and peace returned to the land. What punishment will the Valley of Severed Affections face this time?
This novel has no CP and no male or female lead. It's just a dream of the martial world. The story draws on history, including the fall of the Qin dynasty, but it does not follow the historical record. It is primarily a work of fiction, so please don't take it as fact!
The story is wonderful, the writing is delicate, and the characters are fleshed out.
