The Martial World Trilogy: Heroes Vie for Supremacy

Picking up where the previous book left off: after the Red Garment Sect was wiped out by Liu Yinping, young palace master of the Yunxiao Palace, and the gathered martial artists, Liu Yinping withdrew into the snowy mountains. The various sects elected the eminent monk Nanfo Red-Browed Arhat of Kunshan Temple as martial arts alliance leader, with Zhang Jingxiao of Yunxiao Palace and Lin Zhennan, master of the Divine Spear Sect, as his deputies. But Red-Browed Arhat devoted himself wholly to Buddhism, Zhang Jingxiao saw through worldly concerns and traveled the land, absorbed in painting and calligraphy, and Lin Zhennan could not shoulder the burden alone. As a result, the major sects maintained peace on the surface while secretly building their strength, each seeking dominion over the land. The most prominent among them were the Mount Tai Sect, Yinshan Sect, Kunlun Sect, Murong Manor, Divine Blade Sect, Blood Butcher Gang, Dragon Gate Valley, and the Thirty-Six Sects of the Three Immortal Islands in the East Sea. A mysterious Martial Emperor Gang also wreaked havoc across the martial world, plunging it into a storm of blades and blood.

A research scientist transmigrates into the body of Bai Yunji, the eldest young master of the Bai family in this world. Hoping to find his way home, he spends ten years studying all kinds of books. Through a twist of fate, he learns the yin-yang, eight trigrams, and five elements formations, and delves deeply into the Six Lines divination method. Carrying a deep blood feud from this life, he joins the Mount Tai Sect and turns from letters to martial arts, battling demons from every quarter. By chance, he meets another transmigrated doctoral researcher in ancient martial arts, who has taken over the body of Lin Yong, son of Lin Zhennan. He befriends Liu Yinping, the young palace master of Yunxiao Palace, and the three swear brotherhood. Together they fight across the land, battle yin demons, slay the Western Fiend, and butcher the demon dragon, waging a great war against all the martial sects and chilling the very heavens. Is it for righteousness, for loyalty, for love, or for the greater good? Who is right and who is wrong? That is for later generations to judge!
