The Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things. The meaning of all things points toward the Great Dao.
I was once a sword prodigy of the Shenxiao Sect. The sect valued me and made me its foremost disciple. Unfortunately, an accident struck during a sect expedition: attacked by a demonic beast, I fell off a cliff. Chen Chen’s dantian was damaged, and his cultivation nearly vanished, though he was fortunate to survive.
But this made Chen Chen an outcast in the sect. All the disciples treated him as a target for their anger, and for three years he endured every kind of mockery and scorn.
Fortunately, the reason Chen Chen survived his fall three years ago was a battered old book called A Single Sword Sets the Immortal Journey.
The sword is king among weapons. Wherever the sword points, the heart follows.
I, Chen Chen, will reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Thus, Chen Chen set out on the distant, seemingly unreachable journey to immortality.
Conquer Jiuzhou, tread the demon lands, sweep through the divine heavens, pacify foreign races, destroy temples and slaughter their monks, shatter the realms of immortals and demons, break through the heavenly realm, cleave open the heavens with a sword, roam the mortal world, and set the immortal journey in its course.
“Immortal, roam; immortal, roam. With one sword, I shall set the immortal journey.”
“Once I saw an immortal roaming, and fear and resentment stirred within me.”
“The immortal never turned to look. One sword struck, and our paths diverged.”
“A single word can plot a thousand affairs; swords drawn in confrontation, our strength at last runs dry.”
“Next year, when we meet again, one sword will roam to immortality and pierce the heavens.”
