Setting: Sword Martial Continent, where the sword reigns supreme.
This is an era of martial cultivation in which the sword path is mainstream.
In ancient times, Shenzhou was divided into nine regions: Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou.
The art of the sword was originally divided into two schools: the Divine Sword Path and the Demonic Sword Path. The foremost practitioner of the Demonic Sword Path was surrounded and killed by members of the Divine Sword Path. From then on, the Demonic Sword Path declined and gradually withdrew from the Sword Martial Continent. Aside from overseas and the wilderness, practitioners of the demonic path became hard to find. After that, the Divine Sword Path reigned supreme across the Sword Martial Continent.
The foremost sect of the Divine Sword Path was the Kunlun Sword Sect. Under its rule, the Nine Prefectures Sword Mansions governed the nine regions, with countless sects and clans below them. Anyone with the talent to practice the sword was required to become a disciple of the Divine Sword Path.
