After the Mohist Mechanism City falls, the young Tianming flees with his companions, only to stumble upon a secret war between the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and Qin spies. The clash between the Yin-Yang curse seal inside him and the Mohist sword intent of “Universal Love and Opposition to Aggression” draws him into the vortex surrounding the mysterious organization Shadow Net. A storm that will sweep across the land begins to gather as factions vie for the ancient treasure, the Star Jade Balance.
In the land of Qi and Lu, he befriends a rising Confucian star. On the battlefields of Wei and Chu, he joins forces with the various schools of thought to resist their enemies. The two vertical and horizontal sword masters reunite, while the Overlord of Western Chu begins to show his mettle. As clues to the treasure fragments emerge one by one, the shocking secret behind Jing Ke’s assassination attempt on Qin, the family vendetta of Shadow Net leader Meng Jue, and the Yin-Yang School’s grand conspiracy intertwine, pushing everyone to the crossroads of fate.
Outside Xianyang, rebels and Qin troops fight to the death. Deep within the Qin palace, Gai Nie and Meng Tian face off in a fated duel. When the power of the Star Jade Balance spirals out of control and time and space fall into chaos, Tianming gains complete control over the curse seal at the brink of life and death, breaking through to the supreme sword realm. The final battle erupts beneath Hangu Pass, where the various factions write the end of an era in blood and conviction.
After the war, the Qin Empire teeters on the brink of collapse, and a new regime rises in Chu. Bearing the Mohist ideal, Tianming continues to pursue the eternal path to peace, leaving behind an immortal legend that spans the end of the Warring States era.
