…

A young blade is forged through hardship; a single sword can subdue every foe beneath the heavens.

“If no one can save the demons and wicked cultivators, then I will save them with my sword!”

…

A world brimming with spiritual energy, where martial arts reign supreme, ferocious beasts roam in packs, and evil runs rampant.

As the stars aligned, a glimmer of starlight came from beyond a distant sea of stars.

In this unfamiliar high-martial world, countless cutting-edge technologies were constantly being developed.

Ancient martial arts had fallen into decline. These days, warriors pursued genetics and mechs instead.

Even so, Chen Mingxiu resolutely chose the arduous path of ancient martial arts.

Sword energy forming a Great Wall, a sword splitting open the heavens, a sword's cold light sweeping across fourteen provinces: these were feats that new-age warriors could never achieve.

Unfortunately, Chen Mingxiu's grueling journey into ancient martial arts was cut short almost as soon as it began.

“Axiu, what were you and Silver Wolf doing?”

“Uh... well...”

“Hmm?”

“I was wrong, Auntie Himeko... I shouldn't have taken Silver Wolf to a place like that.”

“Hahahaha! With Chen Mingxiu practicing ancient martial arts, it will surely flourish once more!”

“My name is Chen Mingxiu, a swordsman of ancient martial arts. With a single sword, I can turn heaven and earth upside down, bring peace to the land, and make every race bow before me!”

“And then... Silver Wolf, I like you.”

“You idiot, Chen Mingxiu! Why are you only confessing now? I've been waiting forever.”
