In a faraway frontier stands a forest. Deep within the forest lies a hill. Atop the hill is a lonely grave.
A broken sword stele has weathered the passage of time. Its distant sword intent seems to come from the primordial age, while a rusted iron sword tells an ancient tale. As fate turns, two young men appear: one obtains the sword, the other comprehends it.
In this boundless golden age, countless races stand side by side and heroes rise from every corner. Geniuses and prodigies emerge into the world. Two young men, still green, leave the frontier and support one another as they defeat every powerful foe in their path.
With a sword, one slash is all it takes. Without a sword, grass, trees, bamboo, and stone can all become swords.
From the frontier, the twin stars of the Ye Clan rise into the sky, illuminating heaven and earth.
