First, let's review the setting established earlier. The world is the Nine Provinces Continent, where the Tianyan Sect leads the cultivation world as it faces the threat of ancient evil cultivators returning. The protagonist is a sword cultivator of the Tianyan Sect, with the special ability to devour all things and temper his sword intent. Half of the "Demonic Abyss Scripture" is sealed inside him, and a Demon Venerable once failed to possess his body. The main plot includes sect trials, an adventure down the mountain, the discovery of a symbiotic relationship, and getting swept up in a great war. The outline for Chapter One is already set: the scene is the Tianyan Sect's Sword-Questioning Cliff trial; the conflict is the protagonist being ostracized by his fellow disciples; the climax is his awakening of the Sword Bone and killing an evil cultivator; and the cliffhanger is the discovery of a Demon Venerable's mark and demonic patterns on the corpse. During the Tianyan Sect's Sword-Questioning Cliff trial, the protagonist is ostracized by his fellow disciples. In the course of the trial, he encounters an evil cultivator, devours sword intent, and awakens his Sword Bone.
