An unrecognized sword manual, and a boy dismissed as an idiot.
Yun Zhiyi, a collateral descendant of the Yun family, is a quiet soul who neither practices martial arts nor cultivates qi. He spends his days staring at a worn-out sword manual, becoming the butt of his clan's jokes.
No one knows that what he studies is no ordinary object, but the Seal of Annihilation, the very source of ancient swordsmanship given form. He cultivates the sword intent that severs karma, and comprehends the principles that obliterate all arts!
[Ten Years Studying the Manual, Divine Intent Arises] He tempers his heart amid the myriad aspects of mortal life, and his sword soul begins to take shape, unknown to all.
[His Eyes Open Once, and the Ages Tremble] Only when powerful enemies smash through the mountain gate, seeking to seize the clan's fortune and destroy its legacy, does the young man in blue finally look up as everyone despairs. In his eyes, stars are born and die across the ages. He raises two fingers like a sword and murmurs:
“All the arts in this world can become the sword.”
“Now behold: can this single strike of mine claim the title of ‘Number One Immortal’?”
His words fall, and the sword rises. An invisible, intangible sword intent that makes the myriad paths wail bursts into the sky, cleansing the universe and casting its icy light across the cosmos!
From then on, a legendary path unfolds before him: with the sword in his hand, he will suppress the immortals and demons of the heavens, see through reincarnation across the ages, and reach for the supreme throne of the sword dao.
I have a sword that can sever karma, cut off reincarnation, and defy the heavens! Through the endless night of the ages, only my sword dao reigns supreme!
