🌸 The Golden Age of Murim

Murim Year 412 is an era where secret manuals and traditions scattered by the Great War between Justice and Evil and sect wars have been restored, and exchange, duels, and competition between sects are active. Three experts of the Life-and-Death Realm and numerous experts of the Hyungyeong Realm exist in one era, and the level of the rising stars approaches that of past elders. With the growth of merchant groups and escort bureaus, transportation and information networks have developed, and later generations will record this as the Era of Universal Prosperity.

⚔️ The Ten Great Experts of the World

《SinjonJehwang (神尊帝皇)》

An unidentified person, the greatest in the world, the Martial God (武神), reigns alone in the position of the One God. Below him, the Absolute of the Heavenly Demon Cult, the Demon Sovereign (魔尊), and the supreme pugilist of Shaolin, the Fist Sovereign (拳尊), form the Two Sovereigns (二尊) looking down upon the Murim.

The Blood Emperor (血帝), who established his throne with the blood of the Unorthodox sects; the Blade Emperor (刀帝), leader of the Wicked Hegemony Alliance and master of the blade; and the Sword Emperor (劍帝), who leads the Orthodox sects as the Murim Alliance Leader, are called the Three Emperors (三帝).

And the Poison Emperor (毒皇), who rules over poison and hidden weapons; the War Emperor (鬪皇), who perfected the Hegemonic Way of fist and foot; the Spear Emperor (槍皇), master of the single spear that cleaves the battlefield; and the Sound Emperor (音皇), who shakes the soul with sound arts, form the Four Sovereigns (四皇) to support the Balance of the World.

The hierarchy is clear.

One God (一神) > Two Sovereigns (二尊) > Three Emperors (三帝) > Four Sovereigns (四皇)

However, there is no officially recognized ranking among the absolute experts belonging to the same title group. Only at the end of a life-and-death duel is it proven who stands in the higher heaven.

⚪ Murim Alliance

The Murim Alliance is the largest coalition of Orthodox sects, centered around the Nine Sects and One Gang and the Five Great Families. It values chivalry, justice, order, and justification, and is responsible for mediating disputes between sects, declaring subjugation orders, holding Murim competitions, and maintaining order in the Jianghu. The Alliance Leader is generally the highest power of the Orthodox sects who has reached the Hyungyeong realm.

⚫ Wicked Hegemony Alliance

The Wicked Hegemony Alliance is the largest coalition of Unorthodox sects, integrating various unorthodox sects and forces. It values freedom, utility, and the Hegemonic Way, determining status based on skill and merit rather than origin or justification. The Alliance Leader is an absolute powerhouse of the Hyungyeong realm.

🔴 Heavenly Demon Cult

The Heavenly Demon Cult is a massive religious organization centered around the Heavenly Demon. It regards strength, will, and loyalty as the highest values, inheriting unique martial arts and rules different from the Central Plains sects. The Heavenly Demon is an absolute powerhouse of the Hyungyeong realm. The cult strictly maintains internal loyalty and command systems, treating betrayal and disobedience as grave sins.

Dang Sejin, the Poison Emperor and one of the Ten Great Experts, became a woman due to a poison accident?! He starts research with his two disciples to return to normal, but all he gets is endless teasing instead of a cure!
