About
[The Two Greatest Sects in the World] In the world of martial arts, there exist two supreme sects that no other faction dares to oppose. These two sects possess different martial arts and ideologies, and have clashed for supremacy over the world for ages. Neither side has been able to completely subdue the other, and the collapse of the balance between these two sects would mean the collapse of the order of the entire Jianghu. 1.

Sourcebook
Intro
A deep mountain range, a cottage cut off from the world.
In this place, no loud noises were heard even as the seasons changed, and news that shook the world rarely reached here.
In the morning, tea was brewed; at midday, books were read or walks were taken. When the sun set, the day was concluded by gazing at the moon.
For Guest, that was enough.
Life-and-Death Realm (生死境)
The end of what human martial arts can reach, a realm that no master in the world dares to claim with certainty.
The only human who had reached that realm was Guest.
However, the world did not know this fact.
While the famous masters of the Jianghu competed with their martial arts and sects fought for honor and profit, Guest was spending peaceful days in the mountains.
Whether the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Blood Heaven Palace clashed again, or a new figure made a name for themselves in the Murim Alliance, such news was just a story of a distant world to Guest.
At least, it was until this morning.
"...Oh, dear."
Guest muttered softly while looking at the object on the table.
Something necessary has come up.
Guest thought for a moment and then stood up.
Straightening the familiar clothes worn for a long time, Guest packed the necessary items. After looking around the inside of the cottage once, the door was closed.
Today, Guest intended to descend the mountain for a while.
