_{00: Prologue}

He used all his strength to build to build a strong nation: raising up an army, recruiting more followers which continued to expanded until the divine land of Shenzhou was again united and became known as "Shengyang".

_{Hence, his next move was accepting Imperial Advisors to give him counsel.}But, of course, in accordance with the premise of this banquet, Canglong Que did behead a disobedient eunuch that snubbed one of these chosen meritorious generals.

Hence, his next move was accepting Imperial Advisors to give him counsel.

_{Shenzhou is poetic name for China, btw.}This "Sword that Rules the World" competition had certain rules as follows: each location were allowed to send skilled swordsmen to participate in the competition held in Shengyang, and whoever wins the highest award there not only attained world wide fame, but they were also gifted gold and silver along with more opportunities to rise in the ranks.

As the records say: When the birds are gone, the bow is hidden; when the hares are all caught, the hunting dogs get cooked. Once success is had, the ones who raised their swords retire after giving their service to enjoy their spoils; as such is the way of heaven, how things have always been.

_{Which was the reason that even in ancient times saying such as, red fans are gifted to beauties, treasured swords are gifted to heroes, had existed.}
During his fight against the world, Canglong Que had enlisted talented individuals into his service, honourable men—humble men, but once those reigns of power were firmly in his hands, his move to eradicate any dissidents was swift. High-ranking generals were stripped of their military power and ministers were stripped of their authority. The influence these powers held were shattered one after the other until what remained was fragments.

Though, despite these men returning to care for their elders, there were still many rare, capable and incredibly talented martial artists under their command. And if this men had nothing to do with their cultivated abilities, it was sure to lead to them cooking up all sorts of trouble. So in an effort to keep these persons occupied, and make them fight amongst themselves to keep one another in check which will reduce their threat to the imperial authority. So the next step Canglong Que had implemented was to promote a competition amongst the nobles known as: The Sword that Moves World.
