The Number of Two Nines, the Heart That Seeks the Dao!

[The Heaven-Refining Hand was renowned within the Three Truths Sect, yet few in the martial world knew its name.]

[There were several great martial arts tomes in the martial world!]

[The Dao Heart Demon Seed recorded within the Heavenly Demon Strategy, the supreme scripture of the demonic cult; the Sword Heart Art, the Sword Sect's supreme sword canon; and the Demon-Subduing Dharma Form, which only Buddhist heirs could touch.]

[Within the Icefield Sect lay its foremost cultivation art, the Nine Dust Calamity Annihilation, cold and tyrannical.]

[The Heaven-Battling Illustrated Record of the Great Qian Dynasty was the perfect union of imperial authority and martial arts—an imperial martial art—as was the Song of Righteous Qi Absorption within Great Chu's White Deer Academy.]

[These martial arts were all supreme in the world. Each carried the painstaking efforts of countless predecessors and had reached the pinnacle of perfection.]

[Their inheritors were rarely seen even across several generations or dozens of generations, yet whenever one emerged, they would surely be a figure capable of stirring wind and rain through the martial world and suppressing an entire region.]

[Six hundred years ago, the Sword Saint of the Sword Sect mastered the Sword Heart Art and exterminated the Qi Sect. From then on, the Sword Sect no longer had any dispute between "sword" and "qi."]

[The third headmaster of White Deer Academy relied on the peerless might of the Song of Righteous Qi Absorption not only to bring his own cultivation to its peak, but also to establish the Gongsun Clan, whose glory endured to this day.]

[Lu Yu had already begun slowly studying the Heaven-Refining Art, and his eyes grew increasingly bright.]

[He immersed himself in the incomplete volume of the Heaven-Refining Hand. The profundities revealed between its lines made his eyes shine ever brighter.]
