The Owl's Cry in a Chaotic Age

The general trend of the world is that what has long been divided will unite, and what has long been united will divide.

Six thousand years ago, the Dao Ancestor opened the heavens. Five thousand years ago, the Martial Emperor strode across the land. Four thousand years ago, the Buddha saved the world. Three thousand years ago, the Confucian Ancestor spread the Way. Two thousand years ago, the Great Sword Immortal cut down every illusion. A thousand years ago, the Mystic Ancestor established order across heaven and earth.

As the centuries passed, the golden age collapsed. The kingdoms splintered, the embers of evil rose again, court factions schemed without end, and martial sects carved up the land.

Born into humble circumstances and carrying an ancient legacy, Xiao Ming navigates court intrigue and the flashing blades of the martial world. As he deals with the competing factions, he goes with the flow and builds an everlasting legacy.

See how I carve out a world of my own in this chaotic age, one sword stroke at a time.
