The sea of purple flames danced about this hollow world uniquely as they continued to burn for all time, attempting to devour the remnants of the world. The strange purple-haired man sat in this sea of odd flames calmly as he casually glanced towards the red-haired young man who appeared before him.

A look of surprise could be seen on his face as he murmured in a soft voice, "A traveler of fate, one who is guided by a higher destiny? How strange? Why have you come to this ruined realm?"

As he said this the sea of flames surrounding him began to churn as they danced around his form like they were trying to eat him alive, Feng Yu who saw this man felt shocked.

"The Exalted Purple Rose Swordsman! How could he be here? Is this strange Ancient Sword Tablet his legacy?" As Feng Yu thought up to here, he couldn't help but recall the name of this figure.

The Purple Rose Sword Exault, a figure of legend, said to have been one of the most mysterious characters of the sword in the Tianlan Sword World's history. Legend has it that this powerful figure had vanished after taking part in a battle that shock their world in the distant past, he disappeared for so long that very world itself believed him to have died from a serious injury caused during that battle. However, only a few individuals knew the truth, one of those individuals being the likes of Feng Yu's previous master.

It was an unusual place, filled with immense spiritual energies of heaven and the earth.

Far within the distance, a mountain could be seen standing firmly, as if it had shouldered the changes of time itself. It emitted an archaic prestige silently as it upheld its place in this world.

At the top of this mountain, there were two figures, an old man wearing Ancient Daoist Robes and a young man who 'seemed' to be no older than 30 years of age; he had short black hair and an appearance that was common.

The old man stood with his back face facing the young man and his front facing the world below the mountain as he looked deeply in the sky with a profound gaze and spoke, "Disciple, there are three individuals in this world that can be considered to have reached the apex of their respected area of skills."

"...." As he said this the young man who knelt behind him remained silent as he listened to his master's words.

"These individuals are, the Void Bladesman, as called the Warscar Blade Exalt, the Light Sage, also called the Truth Seeker Exalt and the expert at the pinnacle of the sword, the Purple Rose Sword Exault said the old man as he withdrew his gaze from the world below glancing towards young man solemnly.

"Remember my words, never take the Sword Exalt lightly, for the moment you do..." as he said this, he paused again for a while before speaking.

"You will certainly suffer, a tragic end!" As he said this, he turned his head again and looked towards the distant horizon once more, but this time if one were to look closely at the side of his face they would see a strange scar that ran all the way to his neck.

Back inside the sea of purple flames, Feng Yu who recalled the words of his old master couldn't help but run cold sweat. He looked towards the Purple Rose Sword Exault and responded, "I came seeking a sword from a broken legacy, may I ask why senior is here?"
