Nine great dynasties stand side by side. Great Qin, the Northern and Southern Song, Great Ming, and the Wu Dynasty are locked in a struggle for dominance, while martial arts sects flourish across the land and heroes emerge in droves.

Using the alias Nangong, he sits in the Jixia Academy in Qizhou, tirelessly searching for traces of his old friend Luoshui. One day, purple lightning streaks across the sky, and the Golden Rankings of Heaven appear. The Nine Provinces' Azure Cloud Ranking emerges, naming twenty-eight Star Lodges and determining the world's greatest heroes. Zhang Cuishan of Wudang is the first to make the list.
