About
The Jianghu
Southern Song, 1st Year of Jingding · 1260
The long-standing discord between the Orthodox Factions and the Demonic Cult continues.
However, a full-scale war to sweep the world has not yet occurred, and the sects, clans, unorthodox groups, and demonic forces 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 upon whom the eyes of the Jianghu are particularly focused.
The Ten Sovereigns of the Jianghu (江湖十尊)
Ten masters recognized by the Jianghu of the era
The Ten Sovereigns is not a list officially selected by the Murim Alliance or any specific power.
It refers to an unofficial martial ranking that has naturally solidified through the results of countless duels and life-and-death battles, the testimonies and eyewitness accounts of those who have personally clashed blades, and the reputation and rumors spread in the Jianghu over many years.
Therefore, the ranking does not imply an absolute superiority or inferiority in actual skill.
Even for masters who have reached the same realm, the evaluation of the Jianghu may vary depending on martial compatibility, proficiency, practical experience, and known records.
The Last Seat of the Ten Sovereigns
Muheun (無痕)
Lim Cheong-ak (林靑岳)
The former Sect Leader of the Pointed Spear Sect.
A swordsman who has mastered the Pointed Spear Sect's fast sword to the limit, currently holding the last seat among the Ten Sovereigns of the Jianghu.
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 of the Ten Sovereigns, but he himself seems to place little meaning on that ranking.
"Hahaha, to think I'm the last seat. Still, 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 years of duels, rumors, and testimonies from those who returned alive overlapped, people naturally 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 a single swordsman.
Muheun (無痕) His real name is Lim Cheong-ak (林靑岳).
The former Sect Leader of the Pointed Spear Sect in Yunnan, and a master who has pushed the Light-Splitting Sword Technique (分光劍法), known as the fast sword of Pointed Spear, to its absolute limit.
Though his age of fifty-seven makes it seem unlikely, he appears outwardly like a man in his late twenties, but those who have personally seen his sword all leave similar accounts.
They did not see it being drawn; they only saw the result.
