Background / History

Sword Palace conducts large-scale selection trials across life planets. Candidates who pass its trials must still establish their value in the Virtual Battle Realm; only the highest-ranked participants advance to later assessments, while lower-ranked survivors are assigned ordinary or menial disciple status. Those eliminated receive no further protection from the Palace. 177

Sword Guard 08 identifies Earth as a trial planet and reveals that the Gray Mist outbreak is part of a broader civilization trial. After Ye Cang clears Trial Ruins No. 8's ultimate assessment, Sword Palace offers him eligibility to join and grants him an inheritance package. 132 133

The Elder Hall later terminates Ye Cang's third-round trial ahead of schedule because his hunting of Starry Sky Fierce Beasts far exceeds the Golden Armor Disciple assessment standard and disrupts the trial planet's balance. He is ordered to stop hunting and may either remain on the planet to cultivate or apply for admission to Sword Palace. 254

Sword Palace has existed through ninety-six Cycles of Reincarnation. Each Cycle comprises approximately one thousand trial batches spaced ten Star Years apart, totaling roughly ten thousand Star Years per cycle. 330

An unknown force within Sword Palace later tampers with route data and uses outside threats in an attempt to lead Ye Cang into a fatal trap. The responsible individual's identity and position remain unknown. 356

A century after Ye Cang's departure from Blue Star, Sword Palace institutions operate in its King Cities, disseminating standardized martial arts knowledge, selecting talent, and maintaining the Palace's influence. These halls display statues of Ye Cang inscribed: “Pioneer · Ye Cang - Slaying the Gloom, Leading the Star Path.” 358

Headquarters and Territory

Sword Palace's core is an artificially structured galaxy centered on a stable Level 3 Great Sun approximately 700 million kilometers in diameter. The star contains an overwhelming Sword Intent presence and serves as the focal point of the Palace's inheritance grounds. 326

Ten modified life planets, each more than three million kilometers in diameter, orbit the central star. Each planet bears a distinct Sword Intent and serves as the exclusive seat of one Sword Hall. Together, the ten planets and central Great Sun form the Palace's core structure. 326

• Geng Metal Sword Star — White-gold planet with an overwhelmingly sharp Metal-attributed aura. 326
• Thunderclap Sword Star — Perpetually surrounded by thunderclouds and purple lightning. 326
• Shadow Sword Star — A planet whose light appears warped and intermittently absent. 326
• Spirit Sense Sword Star — Shrouded in colorful mist and pervasive psionic-energy fluctuations. 326
• Extreme Sun Sword Star — Ye Cang's reporting destination; its atmosphere and architecture are saturated with Extreme Yang Origin Energy and Sword Intent. 326 327

Organization and Systems

Trial and Disciple Administration

Sword Palace recruits prodigies from hundreds of billions of trial planets across thirty-three star regions. Every star region possesses a branch palace that spreads its teachings, recruits talent, and gathers resources. 256 330

Golden Armor Disciples undergo qualification certification at the Assessment Hall. Their standing is tracked by the Star Dome Sword Ranking, an internal competition system whose rankings affect status, benefits, and residential conditions. 327 329

• The ranking displays Sword Palace disciples within the current Cycle of Reincarnation. 330
• Disciples without combat data can initially be placed at the bottom of the ranking. 330
• Higher Sword Point totals improve battlefield-base residences, granting larger quarters and stronger cultivation environments. 405 438 439

Inheritances and Cultivation Resources

The Palace maintains extensive archives of techniques, combat skills, secret arts, and Battle Domain inheritances accumulated from countless races and generations. Ye Cang gains access to more than three million cultivation techniques through its archive. 346

The Myriad Laws Hall preserves recorded cultivation insights, including more than 1.26 million inheritances from Warriors who cultivated their Battle Domains to the sixth layer. These inheritances can be transmitted from headquarters to frontline bases through specialized chambers. 443

Golden Armor Disciple benefits include:

• Three free opportunities to comprehend the Extreme Yang Sword Hall's Myriad Law Origin Item, the Great Sun Sword Star. 331
• Free Origin Energy support for breakthroughs to the Origin Star Realm. 331
• Discounts on selected secret-vault exchanges and specific resources. 331
• Standard top-grade seventh-tier equipment: the Golden Sun Sword and Golden Sun Sword Armor. The armor includes environmental scanning, crisis warning, information reception, and energy-analysis functions. 331
• A Sword Token providing identity verification, communications, access to public information and missions, authority recognition, and storage space. 331

Battlefield Presence

Sword Palace operates a major fortress base on the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield. The base processes disciple reporting, assigns mandatory missions, administers logistics, and provides protected living quarters and training areas. 404 405

Golden Armor Disciples assigned to the battlefield must accumulate one billion Sword Points within one hundred Star Years to retain their status. 404

The Palace permits and encourages disciples to obtain resources from hostile or neutral factions, provided they do not openly plunder fellow Sword Palace disciples. 438
