[Decisive and Ruthless] [Saintly] [Genius]
This is an iron continent built upon the edge of the sword. Everyone seeks swords, trains with swords, and wields swords. Fame, fortune, beauty... anything and everything can be won with a sword.
But the swords here are naturally not ceremonial implements forged from ordinary metal. They are genuine immortal treasures imbued with spiritual energy. The Records of the World's Hundred Weapons lists 11,100 famous swords. The first ninety-nine are divine swords, the next 1,001 are spirit swords, and the final 10,000 are renowned swords.
All the rest are nameless swords.
Renowned swords can borrow the energy of mountains and rivers across the land and follow the principles of the Five Phases to summon fire and thunder, call the wind, and command the rain. Spirit swords can answer the wishes of the countless living and, through a pact with their masters, awaken their intelligence, manifest their spirits, and take physical form.
Divine swords, on the other hand, have no masters. They usually pass themselves off as human, and moving mountains, filling seas, and manipulating life and death are child's play to them. They even rule over the heavens and earth of a small world, enforcing its laws and divine ordinances. None may defy them, and none may defeat them. They are true immortals.
The remaining nameless swords are merely made of material harder than ordinary metals and stones.
Those who wield swords are known throughout the world as sword immortals. Even an unparalleled divine weapon needs a worthy master to unleash its full power.
Indeed, in the hands of some sword immortals, even a spirit sword dares to challenge a god.
Now, a young member of the Zhang family in Yulong City seeks to reverse his family's decline. With a nameless sword, he aims to claim the title of the best in the world!
