In the vast realm known as the Nine Provinces, dynastic domains stretch like crabapple blossoms, and the cultivation civilization shines like the stars.
Lin Fan, a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, possesses a Five Elements Chaos Spirit Root sealed beneath layer upon layer of restrictions. In humble beginnings, he receives the supreme secret manual, the Heavenly Cycle Star Arts. With an incomplete body, he contemplates the stars of the celestial cycle and tempers an unparalleled sword intent. His path of cultivation is destined to be a journey of breaking shackles and defying Heaven.
The young woman Xue Qing is always by his side, pure as ice. Her strength seems to rise and fall alongside his. Only Lin Fan knows that within her sleeps a divine nature powerful enough to freeze the world. Her fate is tightly bound to his: she is someone he must protect, and a karmic bond neither of them can escape.
From the sand-swept deserts of the northwest, to the rift valley in the southwest where sword energy soars into the sky, and onward to the frigid seas of the far north... Lin Fan travels across the Nine Provinces to break the seal on his spirit root, forge his natal sword embryo, and condense a stellar golden core. Taoists, Buddhists, Confucians, shamans, demons: countless races and factions vie for power. Ruins, secret realms, and ancient battlefields hold both peril and opportunity.
When he wields the stars as his sword and cuts through the fog ahead,
when she makes ice and snow her domain and freezes the frost of fate,
the day their swords unite will be the day starlight illuminates the world and divine might returns.
This is a story about swords and stars, protection and awakening. Witness how a young man, beneath the stars of the heavens, takes up his sword to seek the Dao and joins the goddess at his side to compose a legend that resounds through the nine heavens.
Guided by the stars and true to his sword heart, he will cross mountains and rivers, all so he can stand beside you and reach the supreme heavens.
Nice. Very nice. The sword-drawing technique set up by the swordsman is very good, a bit like Fu Hongxue.
