The thousand-year reign of the Great Qi Dynasty has finally come to an end. In its wake, the realm descends into turmoil as the Five Kingdoms wage relentless war for supremacy, and the Martial World drowns in bloodshed, intrigue, and betrayal.
Fifteen years ago, Li Mu Sheng crossed over into this devastated era. His soul took shelter in the body of a young man from a small city’s martial arts hall. Gifted with an insight far beyond the limits of ordinary men, he advanced along the path of martial dao with terrifying speed, reaching heights others could scarcely conceive.
From the rudimentary Five Steps Fist, he derived the overwhelming technique: “Five Supreme Heaven Piercing Divine Fist.”
From the simple Double Spring Kick Technique, he grasped the elusive principles of: “Shadowless Divine Movement.”
From the common Black Tiger Claw, he forged the fearsome art: “Six Harmony Dragon Seizing Vein Sever.”
And his breakthroughs did not stop there.
Just as Li Mu Sheng believed he had reached the pinnacle of martial cultivation and was preparing to travel the world in search of the realm beyond—true transcendence—unexpected visitors arrived at his door. Envoys of the Great Li Empire sought him out in secret.
Only then did he uncover the truth of his origin: he was not a mere martial artist, but the long-lost prince of the Great Li imperial bloodline, a rightful heir whose identity had been stolen by treachery many years before.
