The Ranking of Supreme Arts trilogy spans two generations of turbulent jianghu affairs.
Twenty years ago, Ye Guhong, Liu Fengnian, and three other grandmasters fought to the death to stop their close friend Xie Tianhua’s ambition to “unify all martial arts.” Their blood stained the jianghu, and they concealed their supreme arts and legacy throughout the world (Record of the Previous Generation’s Feuds).
Twenty years later, five successors, including Xiao Mo and Liu Qingyin, reunite because of the Ranking of Supreme Arts. Inheriting their fathers’ incomparable skills, they thwart the conspiracy of the Dark Vault and distinguish themselves through fierce competition for the rankings and trials of life and death, eventually becoming a new generation of the “Five Supremes” (Storms Rise Again). Yet beneath their fame, the jianghu is once again in turmoil.
Without a common enemy, the Five Supremes must face differences in their ideals, the burden of fame, and new threats. Amid the turmoil, they each find their own path and grasp the truth that “to laugh proudly in the jianghu is not to stand apart from the world, but to hold fast to the way in your heart and guide those living in the mortal world” (Laughing Proudly in the Mortal World).
“Rankings are the measure the jianghu gives you, but the road beneath your feet must be measured by your own way.”
