The Sword Draws Near

[Eastern fantasy / Swordsmanship / No harem]

Cultivation is like lighting a fire.

When a person dies, their lamp goes out.

The life flame is the foundation of all cultivation.

Those without a life flame are called White Ones.

Li Xianyi, a bastard-born genius, once possessed a divine-grade life flame,

but his family schemed against him and stole it,

leaving him a mere White One.

Years later,

Li Xianyi, a White One from the wild mountains,

stumbles upon E'Xian Mountain.

As a lowly errand disciple,

he takes up a bamboo sword assigned to him,

and turns toward the dark, treacherous human world,

cutting a beam of light through the gloom,

and ultimately forging his own path.
