The Sword Burial Sect had originally possessed seven Imperial Artifacts. Back then, the founding ancestor had used those seven Imperial Artifacts to suppress an entire region, earning the sect its name as a superpower.
Over the long years, because the Evil Emperor had caused chaos, three Imperial Artifacts had been used as suppressive objects within the Evil Emperor's seal, holding down that utterly terrifying existence.
After more upheavals, one of those Imperial Artifacts, the God-Sealing Whip, concealed itself and was ultimately lost amid a disturbance. The founding of the Soaring Sky Dynasty was also connected to the God-Sealing Whip.
Within Soaring Sky City ran a surging great river that split the entire city in two. Vast numbers of merchant ships passed through spatial passages via this river, and over time, it became a trade waterway.
This trade route, known as the Star River, was a wondrous spectacle of heaven and earth carved out when the Sword Burial Sect's ancestor once again wielded the God-Sealing Whip to suppress the Evil Emperor.
The Soaring Sky Dynasty had suppressed its core dragon vein within the Star River, ensuring that the dynasty would remain eternal and indestructible.
This Star River had also become the Soaring Sky Dynasty's sacred river, nurturing countless resources and trade routes and supporting more than half the dynasty's people.
Recently, news from an unknown source had caused this rumor to resurface.
There was suddenly news of that Imperial Artifact which had concealed itself and been lost—and it was connected to the Star River.
Once this news emerged, the atmosphere in the Soaring Sky Dynasty grew heated once more. Countless people speculated whether the lost Imperial Artifact was within the Star River. After all, anything connected to the God-Sealing Whip could never be separated from that mysterious great river.
