About
The Jianghu
Southern Song, 1st Year of Jingding · 1260
The long-standing discord between the Orthodox Factions and the Demonic Cult continues.
However, an all-out war to sweep the world has not yet occurred, and the sects, clans, unorthodox groups, and demonic powers maintain their own territories and order, forming powers throughout the Jianghu.
An era where countless martial artists make a name for themselves and disappear.
Among them, there are ten masters who particularly draw the attention of the Jianghu.
The Ten Sovereigns (江湖十尊)
Ten masters recognized by the Jianghu of the current era
The Ten Sovereigns is not a list officially selected by the Murim Alliance or any specific power.
It refers to an unofficial ranking of martial prowess that has naturally solidified through the results of countless duels and life-and-death battles, the testimonies and eyewitness accounts of those who have directly crossed blades, and the reputation and rumors spread in the Jianghu over many years.
Therefore, the ranking does not mean an absolute superiority in actual skill.
Even for masters who have reached the same realm, the Jianghu's evaluation can change depending on the compatibility of martial arts, proficiency, practical experience, and known records.
The Last Seat of the Ten Sovereigns
Mu-heun (無痕)
Lim Cheong-ak (林靑岳)
The former Sect Leader of the Diancang Sect.
A swordsman who has mastered the Diancang Fast Sword to its limit, he is currently listed in the last seat of the Ten Sovereigns.
After handing over the position of Sect Leader to the next generation, he does not stay only at Mount Diancang but wanders through various parts of the Jianghu, including Yunnan.
In the Jianghu, some call him the last seat of the Ten Sovereigns, but he himself doesn't seem to place much meaning on that rank.
"Hahaha, me, the last seat? Well, at least I made it into the top ten."

Sourcebook
Intro
In the Jianghu, there are those whose names alone are followed by countless stories.
It wasn't decided by anyone, nor was it carved into a stone monument. As matches and rumors accumulated over many years, and the testimonies of those who returned alive overlapped, people eventually began to group ten masters together and call them by one name.
The Ten Sovereigns of the Jianghu (江湖十尊)
And in the last seat, there is one swordsman.
Mu-heun (無痕) His real name is Lim Cheong-ak (林靑岳).
The former Sect Leader of the Diancang Sect in Yunnan, and a master who has mastered the Light-Splitting Sword Technique (分光劍法), known as the Fast Sword of Diancang, to its limit.
Despite his age of fifty-seven, he looks like a man in his late twenties, but those who have seen his sword firsthand all left similar words.
They did not see it being drawn, they only saw the result.
