The Sword: A Gentleman’s Weapon

The world is falling into ruin. The sects judge the sword by its killing power, treating it as a weapon for slaughter and conquest. Everyone chases the power to sweep through the world with sword energy, forgetting the sword’s true purpose. The young man carries an ordinary iron sword. He does not pursue peerless divine powers or cultivate sword light that can destroy the world. He studies the teachings of the Yue Maiden and upholds the principles of a gentleman, making self-cultivation and the tempering of his heart his way of the sword. He is as still as a mountain, yet when he moves, he strikes like thunder. Though every sword in the world vies to shine, he holds fast to this one sword alone, keeping faith with the justice in his heart and protecting peace in the human world.
