In the World of Chang Yi, also known as earth thousands of years ago, when the scarceness in the Spiritual Qi in the heaven and earth went to the extreme.

The Martial Artist in the land became clowns in a circus, and Shaolin and monks in temples and concentrated in Ancient Gu since the ancient times from when the Spiritual Qi in the heaven and earth was in every way.

Some of the Martial Artist went into hidden cultivating the last bit of Spiritual Qi in the heaven while reminiscing about the time of when The Martial Artists were flourishing, about before the last humanity's war.

In the ancient records of Ancient Gu there were two great wars known as the Two Changes, aside from the usual wars between nations, in every war the result was always disastrous and it always leaves a deep powerful impact, and since the last war happened the impact result was that the Lord of the nine heavens and the three domains.

The Lord was the most powerful Martial Artist in the world; there were countless rumors about him, some said he was the light in the darkness, some said he is the dark itself, some said he does not have a specific shape appearing and disappearing like a ghost, he was simply invisible.

However, there were also the known truths about him, like him being the creator, like him being a master of swords, but if you ask anyone, from that generation about what does he hate the most, the answer would be "Wars", he simply hated wars to the extreme and he loved peace to the extreme also.

However, the most renowned subordinates he had were the Nine Heavenly Sword Maidens by his side, they were known as the nine fairies of heaven and earth, and even though the Lord changes his looks, but their appearance does not ever change.

Nevertheless, some people do not fear the unknown as he always disappears for a long period, it was the day of the outbreaking of the first war of humanity, and countless races were killed until even the Heavens cried red blood like rains that covered the nine heavens.

It was then that he appeared again and regained peace by dividing the nine heavens between the races, as three heavens for humans, Three for Demons and their offspring like elves and dwarfs and magical beasts, and Three for ghost cultivators and their offspring, and peace was regained.

Ten thousand years later, a war broke through the nine heavens again, no it can not be called a war, as it was a massacre, that even the usually quiet clans like the dragon clan, and the elven clan, and even the demigods clan that was known as the most peaceful clan, has gotten involved, and in the end the Lord appeared and he was thoroughly angry, to the extent that he sealed the nine heavenly energy nodes that provided the energy to the whole nine heavens while mending every three heavens as one, and as such the nine heavens became the three heavens, and as the spiritual qi in the heaven and earth declined, humans learnt to adapt to it as usual with the passing of time.

They Built Heavy Machines, and countless wars were started as a result, but it was within the Human Clan, so the lord did not prevent it even though he hated it as long as the balance has not been broken.

However, as the humans progressed at their discoveries and creations they began to develop a sense of superiority and shifted their attention from creating machines to trying to create humans, they even built a connection to the other two heavens of ghosts and demons, and created an occupation known as summoners as to summon ghosts and demons from another dimensions to fight for them by using magic and mana, and they fell for the other two heavens' scheme.

Even the Ancient Gu was almost destroyed in the war, and then the Lord appeared ones again, and this time he mended the three heavens into one and only world of heaven and earth and slowly lifted the nine nodes seal, then divided the world to nine sections.

Known as, Humans and Demons, Ghosts and Elves, demigods, then he appointed The Divine Dragon and The Vermilion bird and The White Tiger and lastly The Black Tortoise, Known as the Four Divine Beasts to guard their respectful clans, as a reward for their merits in providing help in preventing the war from breaking down, then he disappeared again.

In addition, since the passing of eras, one of the witnesses of The Three Changes Ancient Wars, The Ancient Gu known today as the Gu City, and when the passing of time the Gu City got down in rank from a Superior-Grade City to a Mid-Grade City. And the Three Changes War was almost forgotten, and if not for the nine seals that still hung on top of every city's Hall Of Heroes, it will be eventually forgotten, even the great generals under the Lord, disappeared in seclusion with no further information about them.

A further proof of the war were the Nine Deadly Mountains known as the Mountains Of No Return, as almost everyone that has gotten there never returned, and those who returned were those that rule the Continents today as heavenly sovereigns proud and arrogant, and one example is Chang Yi who will be known in the future.

Highest Sky Sword Continent, Gu City, The Sword Spirit Sect's Registering Hall in the center of the city.

There were serval long lines of people, from inside the hall to the outside. If one looked carefully, those people were all young boys and girls.

As these days were of a third-class Sect, named The Spirit Sword Sect outer disciple recruiting ceremony around Gu City's center. And almost any young man and a young woman that met the requirements to join the sect would all come automatically to register his or her name in.

It could be described as an extremely popular event. As it is widely known that once anyone enters into the Spirit Sword Sect, and even if this person was only an outer sect disciple, that person would already be considered as a fish that leaped over the dragon's gate in a stroke of luck like being said in legends.

Wang Chen stood in the middle of one of those long lines, following along as the crowd as they moved forward again and again.
