Radiant Qi Returns to Its Source

After the wars of the Spring and Autumn Period, five nations contended for supremacy: Nan’ao expanded its territory, Beiguang was ruled by the Mo Yu clan, Dongxi by the Yin clan, Xichu by the Wanzhou clan, and Zhongchang by the Zhao clan. Hoping to prolong its dynasty’s fortune and unify the world, the Xichu dynasty began laying plans to seize the powerful primordial aura of Taiyuan. Once the other nations learned of it, undercurrents surged and they rushed to act, setting themselves against one another. When Wei Monian, son of Lord Wei Mo, the chief intelligence officer in Beiguang’s Youzhou, shot King Zhao off his horse from a hundred paces at Liangfeng Pass, he made a name for himself and forced the king to withdraw his troops. The King of Guangwei in Beiguang arranged for him to become a pawn. He then traveled the martial world alongside Xichu’s Imperial Preceptor Shi Guo, Luo Min, and others, ostensibly on a journey, but actually to investigate the primordial aura of Taiyuan. The various nations sent warriors, experts, and spies to hunt him down, lure him in, and uncover information about the aura. Along the way, he also became entangled in a love-hate relationship with Ziyan, a secret guard of Beiguang. As Wei Monian went, he diligently trained in martial arts, endured bloodshed, learned to understand people, and grew compassionate toward the common folk. Meanwhile, Xichu’s diviner reopened the Fangtian Celestial Image Instrument and discovered that Wei Monian had become the embodiment of the primordial aura of Taiyuan. They used him, triggering the Five Kingdoms War and plunging the people into misery. With the world in his heart and the Minghong Blade in his hand, Wei Monian summoned the Firebird and ascended to the supreme realm. Three hundred years later, he became the first to wield a single blade and roam the martial world alone, slaying the martial sages of all five nations and foiling their conspiracy. At last, he transformed into the primordial aura of Taiyuan, bringing peace to the world.
