Sword Energy Soars to the Heavens

Ten years ago, Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji, a swordsman of the eighth rank, made countless cultivators of the Liao Kingdom tremble with fear. As history marched on and the Song Dynasty's power declined, the kingdom was on the verge of crumbling beneath the Liao cavalry's assault. Then a powerful swordsman from the Jin Kingdom appeared, said to possess the legendary ninth-rank cultivation. The Directorate of Astronomy was ordered to divine the nation's fate, only to witness five dragons crossing the river and twenty famous swords changing hands. Li He, a failed scholar of the Song Dynasty, ventured alone into the freezing lands beyond the frontier. He had just one goal: assassinate Wanyan Aguda, founder of the Jin Dynasty.
