I Have a Sword That Can Sweep Away All Demons Across the Eight Directions

In this unique world, Huaxia is the only human civilization, and among its people are practitioners of a special profession known as mages.

The path of cultivation they pursue is described in the Daoist classics as “the five qi converging at the origin, the three flowers crowning the head, yin and yang joining, and the primordial whole becoming one.” This is the key to cultivation and the breakthrough mages dream of attaining.

Cultivation means guiding the forces of nature into the body. They pass through the nine apertures and twelve chambers, where the soul transforms them. From one comes two, from two comes three, and from three comes all things, until at last all things become qi.

This is a mysterious process of transformation, and the only way for mages to continually increase their power.
