What is martial arts? Martial arts have nothing to do with music, chess, calligraphy, or painting; they have nothing to do with treasures or secret manuals; and there are no so many "world's best" martial arts. Martial arts are a skill, a skill that allows the weak to seize an opportunity to wield their swords against the strong. What is chivalry? Chivalry is not about romance or traditional culture; it has nothing to do with gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, or modesty. Chivalry is violence; it's the bayonet forged by those forced into banditry for a tyrant. Cao Mo allied with Ke, then returned to Lu and invaded its territory. Zhuan Zhu presented roasted meat, pacified Wu, and usurped the throne. Zhang Di cried in the marketplace, then avenged his lord by smearing the latrine. He cut his throat to plead his case, acting swiftly and decisively. The tyrannical Qin dynasty stole his spirit, while cowards gained courage. This is a martial arts story. In the 1930s, a group of like-minded young people came together to work towards changing the world. Then, two hundred years later, in a certain landfill, Xiang Shan, the progenitor of cyber martial arts who had recreated the world and established his own system, woke up while chanting the name of his enemy, having lost all his memories. "Perhaps it's because I lost back then that the world has become the way it is..." "Then this time, I will not lose!" This is the story of one person who changed the world once again!

Mysterious and wondrous swords scattered across the land await their renowned masters. Who can decipher the secret arts and techniques passed down through the ages? In the hidden corners of Chang'an, there are those who would set fire to the sun; in the Central Plains, there are vast, corrupt, thousand-year-old clans; in the northern border, the silent and fierce barbarians are sharpening their swords; and in the southern kingdoms, there is peace and prosperity amidst deceit and treachery... High above the azure sky, a pair of all-seeing eyes are slowly opening. Pei Ye raised his head and pulled the long sword from his abdomen: "Taiyi True Dragon Immortal Lord... Let's see who is whose food."

The path to immortality is incredibly difficult! Moreover, this cultivation world has been completely changed by a plague! If a mortal carries a disease, and an immortal comes into contact with it, the immortal's cultivation will decline at best, and at worst, the immortal will be banished to heaven, thus separating the immortal and the mortal forever. Immortal techniques cannot be practiced together, and the entire cultivation world has become a vast dark forest. Li Fan transmigrated here, and although he had great ambitions, he could only struggle in the mortal world and waste his life. Fortunately, he finally awakened the extraordinary treasure on his deathbed, which allowed him to transform reality into illusion, turning his real life into a fleeting dream, and returning to the time when he had just transmigrated! Thus began Li Fan's long journey of life! In his second life, Li Fan spent fifty years finally gaining immense power, but he searched the world without finding any trace of immortals. He only caught a glimpse of them at the end of his life. In his third life, Li Fan racked his brains and made countless plans, but in the end, he could not withstand the immortal's sword! The fourth generation... I, Li Fan, am but a mortal. I will never regret my actions, even if it lasts a hundred lifetimes, for I only seek immortality!

No. In a universe where magic truly exists, it must be as simple and beautiful as the laws of physics. This is the story of a mass-produced, expendable magic-combat specialist who learns the ultimate nature of magic. But so what? Birds can fly without understanding aerodynamics, and mages can use magic without knowing its true nature.

Is magic really just a wish-granting machine? No, in a universe where magic truly exists, magic would be as simple and beautiful as the laws of physics. This is the story of a mass-produced magic combat tool who learns the ultimate essence of magic. But so what? Just as birds can fly without understanding aerodynamics, magicians don't need to understand the nature of magic to use it. Knowing the ultimate nature of magic does not mean that a tool can suddenly become a great magician. But the thirst for knowledge is a human instinct, and curiosity is the primary driving force of human civilization. Even with magic, which is inherently illogical, humans still hope to understand its underlying workings. The pursuit of the ultimate nature of magic needs no reason! The story takes place in a parallel universe where the social environment is roughly equivalent to that of our universe in the 16th century. However, due to a butterfly effect, the continents and oceans of this planet are not exactly the same as our geographical environment. Here, firearms are on the rise, but armor has not yet fallen out of favor; military theory is evolving rapidly, and innovations in systems and technology are emerging one after another. Moreover, this world has something else that we don't: magic. The world is undergoing tremendous changes, and no one can remain unaffected.
