There are few cultivators in Jiuzhou who have not heard of the Sword Monarch.
The Sword Monarch was a cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing Stage and a pioneering ancestor of the Sword Pavilion. At that time, talented individuals were scarce in the Sword Pavilion. Many sects wanted to assimilate the Sword Pavilion, and the dynasty where the Sword Pavilion located aspired to exert control over it. It was then that the Sword Monarch emerged.
He possessed a kind of spiritual root devoted to the sword, a rare case even amongst those with a single spiritual root.
There was a rock face at the back precipice of the Sword Pavilion, left by generations of elders; here, disciples of the Sword Pavilion could fully immerse themselves in the perception of Sword Dao. However, disciples were prohibited from staying at the back precipice for more than forty-nine days.
The Sword Intent at the back precipice was too powerful for disciples to stay for extended periods.
