The Dao De Jing Laozi left behind when he passed through Hangu Pass was carved into stone tablets by his descendants. Later, the tablets were torn into eighty-one pieces and scattered among the Hundred Schools of Thought. Whoever gathers them all becomes the Dao Venerable of the Hundred Masters and can dominate the martial world of the various schools.
Li Tie Zhu, a descendant of Laozi and the last survivor of the Donghu, lost his father as a child and was sent to the School of Confucius. He believed in ritual, but ritual betrayed him. He believed in sincerity, but sincerity deceived him. He believed in his fists, but his fists failed him. He believed in connections, but they fell apart. He believed in wealth, but it brought him to ruin. Now, carrying fragments of the Dao De Jing, he must gather all eighty-one chapters, master the eighty-one forms of the Dao Sword, and restore the Li family's former glory.
