Shadows of the Chivalrous Blade

In primordial times, the four realms of Heaven, Earth, Darkness, and Yellow ran parallel, plunging the world into ceaseless turmoil—until the First Emperor unified all under heaven. To ensure that chaos would never rise again, he commanded Xu Fu to lead three thousand master craftsmen across the seas to forge five sacred treasures: the Sun-Moon Relic that repels both fire and water, the Wordless Black Scroll, the Life-Returning Sword, the Drifting Immortal Isle, and the Crystal Clear Mirror of Reflection. These artifacts were used to sever the four realms from one another. Centuries later, a hidden schemer's grand design comes to light. Three of the five treasures have already been destroyed. Now, the histories that never existed are poised to return, and the futures that should have been erased are instead pressing forward into the present.
