Shen Yan, from a family of Jiangnan ink craftsmen, was in decline. He made a living by making and selling ink, and he carried the family tradition of "ink-brush swordsmanship" - a set of seemingly ordinary martial arts, but it requires special ink as a guide. The sword moves hide the charm of ink, and the pen is sharp. Once when he was making "Dragon Pattern Ink" for a powerful man, he accidentally cut his finger, and his blood seeped into the ancestral "Black Iron Inkstone", awakening the inheritance of ink cultivation that had been dormant for thousands of years:
Ordinary ink ingots can condense spiritual energy, brushes can draw talismans to ward off enemies, and inkstones can suppress evil spirits and gather energy. The family-inherited ink pen sword technique is actually the basic introductory technique for cultivating immortals in the Mohist Way. Every sword move contains the mystery of "the charm of ink transforming into spirits."
Storms are rising in the world: Liu Xuanfeng, a hypocrite who covets the black iron inkstone, is approaching step by step. Mo Chenzi, a reclusive ink master, suddenly appears. Su Moyao, a demon girl who can control ink energy, is both an enemy and a friend. Shen Yan was forced to leave his hometown with his inkstone. While improving his cultivation with Mo Tao skills, he also used martial arts swordsmanship to travel around the world - using ink as a matchmaker, he could draw mountains and rivers with the sword to ward off enemies, and the inkstone could guard the inner demons. When he met knights in the world, he would discuss swords, and when he met immortal monks, he would ask questions. In the light of the sword, the shadow of the sword and the dense aura, he revealed the thousand-year secret of the inheritance of Mo Tao:
The legendary "Zhenyuan Mo Jing" is hidden in the secret realm of Mo Yuan, which can use the ink energy to determine the universe and transform yin and yang. However, the decline of Mo Dao a hundred years ago was actually a conspiracy between good and evil. Shen Yan did not want to repeat the mistakes of his predecessors, so he used the ink pen as a sword and the inkstone as a shield. In the gap between the rivers and lakes and the world of immortality, he blazed a unique path of "ink stains the rivers and lakes, and the sword points to the path to immortality".
He does not seek to dominate the world, but only seeks to protect the inheritance, clarify the jade world, and let the light of Mo Dao illuminate the rivers, lakes and fairy mountains again.
