Young Liu Yao is an ordinary commoner in Jiangzhou.
Before his father dies, he gives him an ancient sword, saying it was a gift from the white-robed man his grandfather once saved. The sword has a spirit and can reveal the past.
The moment Liu Yao swings it, he sees mountains, clouds, flames, and a purple bamboo grove
As well as a disastrous defeat three thousand years ago, amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
That night, a great fire engulfs Jiangzhou. He saves a young woman he has never met, who clutches a scroll of heavenly writings. Her mother dies in the flames.
The moment sword and scroll meet, fate begins to turn.
In the purple bamboo grove, Xia Ziyou, a thousand-year-old bamboo spirit, tells him: He is the one she has waited three thousand years for.
In Luoyang, Liu Meier, a fox demon in red, smiles at him. She came at the demon king's command, but can no longer bear to leave.
The Five Divine Garments are complete, the Nine Heavens Sword has returned to its place, and the Demon Lord is awakening.
Trade a life-and-death struggle for a chance to stand side by side.
Trade three thousand years of waiting for a single glance back.
For all living beings, and for one person.
I really like the novel's setting. Keep up the good work, author!
