After transmigrating into the world of Sword Snow Stride, Lin Yuan inherits the complete martial arts repertoire of Xiong Ba from the start: Three-Point Return Essence, Cloud-Discharging Palm, Frost Fist, and Broken Sword Art. The System promptly goes dormant, leaving him to forge his own martial path.
After ten years of bitter cultivation deep in the mountains, he comes down for a taste of good food and unexpectedly saves Xu Fengnian, putting down roots in Northern Liang from then on.
He stuns the Old Sword God in a sword debate at Tingchao Pavilion, makes his name across the martial world with a bloody battle in the reed marshes, ventures into Northern Mang to fight Tuoba, settles the grudges of the Sword Tomb, and enters Tai'an to shatter the red silk and unravel the court's game of chess.
As the last heir of the vanished World Society, which disappeared six hundred years ago, he is feared by the royal house, watched by the powerful, and swept up in an age of chaos.
With the war between Liang and Mang looming, he proves his Dao through battle and forcibly unites the Three Primordial Forces. His celestial phenomenon shakes the God of War's army. At the cost of losing all his cultivation, he carves out a glimmer of hope for Northern Liang's cavalry.
He once hoped to return to his homeland, but in the end, he made his home elsewhere.
When the snow and wind finally settle and the dust of the martial world falls, Lin Yuan opens a tavern on the frontier, keeping company with food, wine, and the friends and family he holds dear.
The road home was never a return to his homeland in another world. It was Northern Liang in the snowy world, and the warmth of everyday life.
The thunder is loud and the raindrops are small...
