Peerless Sword Saint Lu Qingshan and Bloodfiend Sword Saint Zhang Erhe clash atop Sacred Sword Mountain for the title of the continent’s greatest Sword Saint. Lu Qingshan claims the title, but loses nearly all his true essence and suffers devastating injuries. By chance, he ends up in the remote Great Chu Empire on the Xuanhuang Continent.
Recommended by the heroine, Huang Ziyi, Lu Qingshan joins the Ziyang Sect as an elder’s nominal disciple. There, he drives off a host of suitors pursuing Huang Ziyi. When the sect’s newcomer tournament begins, he later encounters one of his own disciples and obtains a spot to enter the Sword Tower from them. Inside the tower, he claims ancient ruins, ventures into the wasteland, braves the Star Road, and rises to the peak once more!
