Jiuding Asked

When a blacksmith lifts his hammer, he wants to protect not only the fire and his hometown, but also the world that is about to collapse. Lu Chen, a blacksmith apprentice in a border town, originally just wanted to inherit his father's shop and live a stable life. Until the horse bandit's iron hooves crushed him at dusk, before his death, his father handed him a hot hammer, a blood-stained copper coin, and a heavy truth - he was the "Chaos Martial Body" in ancient legends, and was also a blood sacrifice material coveted by all forces. In order to find a way out, Lu Chen stepped into the arena and became a chess piece of the Zhenwu Division. Here, he saw the coldness of the rules, the dangers of the world, and the intrigues of the court, and also met like-minded partners: Su Wanqing, a medical girl with a blood feud, Mo Qi, who is obsessed with institutions, and Zhao Qingli, the eldest princess who has the world in mind... Together they are looking for their own "Tao" amidst the lights of swords and shadows. However, beneath the calm there is an undercurrent. Behind the Beiman Knocking Pass is the control of the mysterious organization "Destiny Sect"; the abnormality of the spiritual energy tide indicates that the ancient seal is about to be broken; the Jiuding fragments are scattered across Kyushu. Those who gather them together can open the "Jedi Heavenly Passage" channel, which may also attract the arrival of evil spirits from outside the world. Lu Chen was forced to grow from a chess piece to a chess player. He realizes the true meaning of killing on the battlefield, distinguishes between loyal and traitors in the court, and establishes a new order in the world. From protecting a family, to sheltering a town, to stabilizing a country, and finally facing threats beyond the stars—— When one reaches the extreme of martial arts, should one break the void and transcend the world, or turn around and step into the world of fireworks?
