Journey of Endless Years
Yan Jian sat in a meditative position as he circulated his qi. The pearl on his neck glowed as faint streams of light entered his body as he absorbed qi from outside.
In Zhao nation, there are five great families along with the royal family. Each clan's strength isn't much inferior to sects from outside. Yan clan is the second most powerful clan of the Zhao nation.
Yan Jian's mother died from illness when Yan Jian was three months old. Lord Yan loved his wife very much, so he never remarried.
When Yan Jian was a child, he and his father went to the Ominous Earth Ridge to hunt. Accidentally, they encountered a powerful ancient beast. They got separated when Yan Jian fell from a cliff.
As heaven favored him, he found a cave beneath the cliff. There, he saw a broken sword handle besides a skeleton. The skeleton sat in a meditative position, but the strangest thing is, its bones were glowing like crystals.
