The World Is Near: Blade Chronicles of Nine Provinces

In the waning days of the dynasty, the Bureau of Suppression oppresses the people while heroes from the Jianghu rise up. Shen Yi, transmigrated as a lowly soap soldier, immediately kills a colleague to save a stranger and rebels against the court, becoming a wanted criminal across the land. In this desperate situation, he awakens a martial arts system: every strong enemy he slays grants him years of cultivation time! While others spend a lifetime training, he pours his energy into the battlefield, instantly breaking through his limits, and climbs from an unknown soldier to the top of the Qilin List. The court's siege, the demonic sect's ambush, and the talented youths blocking his path all become stepping stones for him to ascend the martial path. Until he hides under the name Wang Chen, infiltrates a thousand-year-old temple, and draws his long blade within the illusion of the Buddhist realm, declaring, 'Killing is to protect life; cutting karma is not to kill people!' With this single strike, he intends to cut away all injustice in the world!
