A Stick of Rivers and Lakes

Thousands of years ago, someone found and opened the remains of Chi You in the Kunlun Mountains. There were heavy casualties. The escapees greatly improved their martial arts and established a sect. This is the origin of super sect. Internal skills, mental techniques, and moves have been monopolized since then, and the truth has been buried in the dust for hundreds of years. Nowadays, the sect alone controls the military force, and the court is in name only. Ordinary people live like ants in the cracks. With no way to learn martial arts and no qualifications to resist, he was crushed, ravaged, and forgotten between the confrontation between the court and the sect. In the coup ten years ago, the prince ascended the throne, his brother died, his beloved concubine died, and a baby disappeared. No one knows that it is not a seizure of power, but a puppet's ascension to the throne. The real winner is the prime minister who supports him and the thousand-year-old sect behind the prime minister. Ten years later, the emperor finally understood: he wanted ordinary people to stand and live, but he had nothing in his hands. His only chance is the jade on the baby - the key to the Kunlun secrets, something that those people worked hard to bring out thousands of years ago. He chased it for ten years. It's not to grab the treasure, it's to get this done before he dies. He knew that he would be scolded and written off as a tyrant. He doesn't care. All he knew was: That child now has a few more people around him. An old man who had guarded him for ten years, a traitor from the Imperial City Division, a swordsman who came down from the mountain, and a girl who was the direct descendant of the sect. They didn't know the emperor's chess game, and they didn't know what the jade meant. They only know one thing: In this place with no way to go, they lived the way they chose.
