This novel draws inspiration from China’s Ten Great Swords: Xuanyuan, Zhanlu, Chixiao, Tai’a, Longquan, Ganjiang, Moye, Yuchang, Chunjun, and Chengying. In the ancient land of Huaxia, there was a mysterious and turbulent age. In the martial world, legends of the Ten Great Swords rang far and wide. Whoever obtained one could dominate the martial arts world and command the respect of the nine provinces. Ling Xiao was an unknown nobody, but by a twist of fate, he stumbled upon the Chengying Sword deep in the mountains. Its blade was almost invisible, and when drawn, it flashed like a meteor in the dark, striking down an enemy in an instant without a sound. Naturally, Ling Xiao was overjoyed to acquire such a treasured sword, but he also knew that a man is innocent of wrongdoing, yet guilty of possessing a treasure.
