In the previous generation of the martial world were Song Ruyi, the One-Shoe Monk, Tan Zixiao... These peak martial artists, each of whom had raised their own martial path through sheer effort, unfurled a magnificent and unprecedented tableau for the generations that followed.
Above them all was a swordsman who called himself the Number One Madman. Between the old and new martial worlds, he carved an impassable divide.
This generation of the martial world was also full of heroes: the female sword immortal Jing Lou, Liu Tian, the second master of Cold Spear Manor, Heli an Weiyun, at the pinnacle of body refinement, and Wei Xincheng, the city defender... Any one of them was a remarkable hero who could shine brightly across the long river of history.
What young person has never dreamed of roaming the martial world?
But by the time Shen Xing'an truly set foot in it, his narrow blade was broken and he was gravely wounded.
A young hero's daring is like a dream of yellow millet. The fortunes of martial arts and the fate of the nation are what endure.
