The world is a chessboard.
The crisscrossing lines are the martial world, where countless cultivators are no more than fish swimming among them.
The points where the pieces land are the mountains. Only those who have reached the Fifth Realm can place a piece, and the world calls them mountain masters.
The fish leap with all their might, only to discover that beyond one mountain lies another.
At the summit stands a monument to the martial way.
There is a beggar of chaos who slays a giant whale,
a War God of the North Sea who slaughters a great dragon,
and an emperor in the imperial court who rules the realm,
while feudal lords of the Nine Provinces summon the aura of dragons.
Qin Shang belongs to both the martial world and the imperial court.
He has seen fish and dragons dance.
