The Barren Sword Tomb

Yellow sand stretches across the wilds, white bones lie beside broken blades—this place is called the Barren Sword Tomb. In years past, the heroes gathered to discuss the sword, but in the end every one of them was buried in bone, and the flourishing way of the sword all fell into dead silence. No sword immortals remain in this world—only a wasteland that buries legends. A down-and-out youth strays into the Sword Tomb and hears countless ancient swords whispering. Every broken sword hides an unfinished obsession; every trace of sword intent carries a battle that refused to accept its end. He guards this barren place, converses with the undead sword cultivators, and amid the ruins recovers the true heart of the way of the sword. The world all wants to seize the Sword Tomb's supreme treasure; only he wants to sound one more sword cry for the countless sword practitioners buried here. The barrenness never ends, and the way of the sword never dies. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Barren Sword Tomb — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
