The Sword of Hatred in Xuanzhou

In the Great Yu Dynasty, immortals and mortals are entangled in a contest between two Immortal Venerables of the Upper Realm, who set a trap to slay a dragon. A sword bears endless hatred, forged for the sole purpose of slaying dragons. After witnessing his family’s destruction, a young man drifts across the sea and enters Great Yu with the sword in hand. He cultivates after awakening his spiritual roots, enduring hardship and concealing his true strength at every step as he investigates the blood feud behind his family’s massacre. Sun Tianqi, a spirit dwelling within the sword, has only just awakened. Naive and unknowing, he sees the world’s warmth and cruelty alongside the young man. Deep in the imperial palace, the prince Xuan Ming is born a peerless genius. The old emperor Xuan Can is plagued by injuries to his Dao, and massacres his own clan to eliminate every threat, all to pave a safe path for the prince. Han Liu rises and falls through life, encountering betrayal and finding kindred spirits as he struggles between hatred and new beginnings. Sun Tianqi believes the sword’s master is destined to wield it and slay the dragon, a hero chosen by fate. But only when the dust settles does he finally understand: The so-called destiny is nothing more than a carefully woven sacrifice. What, then, is the one who wields the sword?
