The Nine Provinces of the Realm

Born into a poor family, Zhou Yun nearly drowned as a child but was rescued, setting him on the path to immortality. Gifted with two innate abilities, spiritual perception and telekinesis, he survives a caravan ambush and the bloody battle in Nanyang Valley. Starting out as an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect, he finds a scrap of the Blood Sect’s footwork manual in Soulbreak Ravine. Keeping his strength hidden, he grows strong enough to challenge those above his level. He heads north to Wangwu City, hunts rogue cultivators, then joins the Myriad Sword Sect of Jizhou, whose origins trace back to the Qingyun Sect, where he acquires the Wind-Clearing Sword. His actions awaken Lingxi, an ancient spirit sword from Hidden Sword Cliff. Amid conflicts between the righteous and the wicked, the Blood Sect’s hidden secrets, demonic beasts from beyond the domain, and the declining age guarded by the Nine Provinces, he hones his sword and presses onward, pursuing the Great Dao through the realms of «Mortal, Four, Mystic, Nine».
