   The protagonist of the first book possesses an exceptionally high talent for swordsmanship, surpassing even the system's innate abilities. Lacking spiritual roots, he couldn't cultivate, so he removed his own spine and used a sword to replace them – a truly ruthless individual. "To slay the power of heaven and earth, one must naturally use a sword of heaven and earth. I forged this sword ten years ago when I descended the mountain. It draws upon the power of water and wind, nurtured by the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth, and refined by the passage of time. The sword emerges from the green mountains and falls upon the northern plains; its path is unpredictable and uncalculated, drifting with the forces of heaven and earth. The sword rises silently, and its fall seals the heavens." "I said I would seal half a moon in the northern plains; do you think I was joking?"
