The Reticent Blade is, first and foremost, a wuxia novel, meaning that the world and its character’s powers and abilities are more grounded. Instead of cultivators who can soar through the heavens and shatter planets, you will find martial artists who can still perform superhuman feats but not so fantastical as to tear through space or achieve immortality.

The world of The Reticent Blade is one of medieval China, loosely based upon the time period of the Ming Dynasty. It is a time of chaos and strife, where war and death are rampant. We follow the intertwining story of several protagonists and antagonists as they navigate the chaotic times, unraveling the threads that connect the past, the present, and the future of the world.

The Reticent Blade is a story of heroism, love, revenge, and cruelty.

The Reticent Blade is a story of both the righteousness and vileness of the Jianghu.

Official Blurb:

Someone once asked me, "What is the jianghu?"

I thought for a moment, and what came to mind was…

A jug of unrefined wine on a weathered table,

A lone silhouette fading into the distance under the setting sun,

A nameless grave bathed in moonlight,

The smoldering incense in my grasp, its final wisps dissipating.

They then asked me, "Where is the jianghu?"

I smiled faintly and lifted my gaze beyond the window. Out there, beneath the vast heavens, countless jianghus lay.

A single soul carries his own story.

When two paths cross, a jianghu is born.

[Fate entry] + [Physical training] + [System] + [Demon] + [Decisive killing] + [Struggle for supremacy].

The evil dragon broke off its tail and the world was in chaos.

Here there are martial artists whose fists can lift mountains and dip water, there are children of noble families who wield swords as fast as fairies, and there are also ferocious and powerful demons on the throne.

Bai Duo traveled through time with the Dragon and Tiger Scroll in his mind. By beheading powerful enemies, he could gain Dragon and Tiger Qi, which could be used to refine his destiny and elevate his martial arts skills.

What destiny is determined by heaven, what difference between immortals and mortals, who cares how powerful you are! ?

I'll just throw one punch and you'll disappear into thin air!

(PS: The protagonist can be a constable who catches evildoers, or a villain who treats human life with disregard. He can be a chivalrous knight who draws his sword to help others, or a vicious and cruel demon. He can be a hero who repel millions of enemies, or a thief who steals the country by hiding his true identity.

Virtue, good and evil, and identity cards are merely means to an end.)

A generation of immortal emperor Xia Guixuan and his old enemy were both defeated and wounded, retreating in the core of the lonely planet in the universe.

The planetary environment was gradually transformed by the faerie aura that spilled from him, and he became a livable planet with abundant aura.

The original creature began to transform people into practice and developed its own civilization.

A few years later, human expedition ships from the Milky Way came here.

At all levels, unknown powerful beings began to take aim here.

Multi-party collisions, heroes co-exist.

Xia Guixuan in the core of the earth opened his eyes.

PS: This is a very casual and pleasant monster, with the theme of civilization observation. Please don’t use the way of opening the rebirth of the god of war to return to the immortal emperor. Don’t ask why you don’t kill people and search for souls, don’t know everything, don’t destroy the world, and don’t finish the chapter.

A young genius has been unable to draw in Qi for eight years due to an abnormality in his Dantian.

"He is a waste."

"Trash!"

No matter how many times he faced cold stares and ridicule, he never gave up his ideal of repairing the chain.

Until the night I was kicked out of the house, my persistent efforts were rewarded!

The light from Dantian rises!

Yang Feng: "From today on, I will make sure that anyone who speaks rudely will die with my ultimate skill!!!"

At the beginning, he slapped a mosquito to death. Who would have thought that it was the clone of the Mosquito Taoist? He was originally picking his feet in the city, and the next second he was dragged to the primitive world to face the Mosquito Taoist.

"…My blood is full of non-dairy creamer, Sudan red and melamine. I have high blood lipids, high blood sugar and high blood pressure. It's greasy and unpalatable!"

"You have to believe me! Taoist Mosquito!"

When Chen Changqing opened his eyes, he found that he had traveled to the world of immortal cultivation.

...

Good news: He is a middle-grade spiritual genius, and he practices Qi at the age of eighteen!

Bad news: He and his colleagues were kidnapped by the toad spirit, and the other party sharpened his sword and was about to use them to sacrifice to the heavens!

At the critical moment of life and death, [God-level selection system] is activated.

[Select 1: Fight against the toad spirit! Reward: Top magic weapon Qinglei Sword (mortality rate 99%)]

[Choose 2: Resign to the toad spirit and kill colleagues and accept the letter of fame! Rewards: A secret treasure for breath retention, a dragon blood body quenching pill, and a nine-god soul-locking bead. 】

"Is this still necessary?"

...

then……

Others kill demons and he snatches fishing.

Others try to retreat,

Others pretend to be low-key...

...

Until one day, the demon saint was in a state of danger, the great power in the Great Yan Immortal Kingdom died and suffered heavy casualties during the tribulation period, and the Great Yan Immortal Kingdom was in danger.

Chen Changqing sighed and stood up from the retreating cave:

"I've been living for so long, and it's finally time for you to know..."

The young Taoist priest was only 28 years old, and his youth was aroused by troubles.

Every day I suffer from aging, sickness and death, and I see love, hate, anger, ignorance and resentment.

I don't want my face to wither and fade, I don't want my skin to become covered with spots.

I don’t want my limbs to wither, my internal organs to be empty and my bones to be smelly.

The young Taoist priest was only 28 years old, and his only wish was to live forever.

………………

Using self-cultivation as medicine and nourishing the body as bait, this is the story of an ordinary person overcoming tribulations and seeking immortality.

One hundred thousand years ago, the ancient gods were the masters of this star field. They were high above everyone else. In the star field ancient god world, they moved mountains and filled the sea, shattered the void, and dominated the life and death of everyone in a single thought...

One hundred thousand years later, Ye Qian accidentally traveled through time and unexpectedly obtained a mysterious purple-gold crown and received a shocking inheritance. From then on, he fought in the sky, broke through the ages, and swept across the gods.

Using modifiers in a cultivation game.

Luck? A whole row!

100 Root Bone cap? All up to 999.

Luck and Charm, maxed out, maxed out.

Of course, when you meet a girl, you immediately have to impress her.

But... after traveling through time, Shi Yan noticed something subtly different.

Her Root Bone was full, but... the modifiers disappeared.

She had incredible talent, but not the strength to match.

Luckily, she still had a sister to rely on, with whom she could live in peace. However—

the abandoned daughter of the demonic path, the reincarnated martial saint, and the genius born with a natural sword body—didn't seem to agree.
