Sword Shadows Sink in Sand

Forging master Ji Ming plans to reunite with his wife and daughter, but his wife Meng Ning has traveled far to the Sword Pavilion to learn the sword arts and hasn't returned for six years. When Ji Ming goes to recognize his daughter, he discovers his wife intends to marry someone else, while the Sword Pavilion, though appearing righteous, plans to imprison both the daughter and Ji Ming to use them for their own purposes. This is because their power is too weak. At this moment, Ji Ming realizes the truth: after eighteen years of forging, the sword path resides in the heart, with each step leading to a new realm and ten steps making one a sword immortal. On that day, the heavens and earth of the Sword Pavilion turned dark.
