History

Lu Xuan first learns of the sect through the Profound Cave Sword Tablet, a token connected to its sword domain. The tablet’s Profound Cave Sword Intent renews his connection to former Heaven Sword Sect acquaintances who had entered the Sword Sect 718.

The sect sends a delegation led by Hai Zhen Sword Master to the Ten Thousand Spirits Assembly. There, Ge Pu recognizes the Profound Cave Sword Intent within Lu Xuan’s Small Profound Cave Sword Gourd and traces its origin to the Spirit Plant Master 921 923.

Lu Xuan and Shen Ye later enter the sect under Hai Zhen’s sponsorship. Lu Xuan is assigned to Still True Sword Peak, receives an identity token and Inner Sect resources, and begins cultivating Sword Grass within the sect’s protected environment 938 943 945.

The sect forcefully claims an Unknown Grotto-heaven discovered near neighboring domains, dispatching twelve Seventh Grade Giant Sword Boats, more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators, over two hundred Core Formation cultivators, and more than a thousand Foundation Establishment disciples. The expedition returns successfully, adding another grotto-heaven to the sect’s holdings 1042 1043 1086.

Lu Xuan’s improvements to the Killing Prison Suppressing Sword Grass and Heavenly Thunder Demon Suppressing Sword Grass are verified by the Sword Palace and recorded among the sect’s heritage. His work expands the Sword Sect’s known Sixth Grade Sword Grass varieties and is regarded as an achievement worthy of its annals 1181 1183 1303.

In recognition of his cultivation, sword-path accomplishments, and contributions, Lu Xuan is chosen as Still True Sword Peak’s second True Inheritor Sword Child 1293.
