Yueling Jian is the name of the stone sword hidden in the mountain wall. No one knows which talented player initially found Yueling Jian within the mountain wall. However, in reality, the awakening of Yueling Jian is a legendary story.
Five hundred years ago, the third-generation wielder of Zhenwu Jian, carrying the Zhenwu Jian, returned to Wudang Mountain to reminisce. Unfortunately, on Wudang Mountain, he ran into Yu Ji Yuanke, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heroic Hall, the Overlord Xiang Yu. At that time, it seemed that Overlord Xiang Yu was having a spat with his wife, Yu Ji, and had been kicked out of the house. In a bad mood, he immediately engaged in battle with the wielder of Zhenwu Jian. Overlord Xiang Yu's brute strength was so formidable that it could shock the heavens and move the spirits, but Zhenwu Jian, as the sword of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, was no less impressive. They fought for a day and a night, neither side gaining the upper hand, until both their strength and sword energy were exhausted.
However, Overlord Xiang Yu had an ultimate move called "Overlord's Suicide," which allowed him to exchange 99.9999% of his abilities and health for one minute of peak state.
The wielder of Zhenwu Jian, whose sword energy was depleted, was no match for Overlord Xiang Yu. This wielder, who had only come to sweep the tomb of his sword maiden, met his end on Wudang Mountain, becoming the second Immortal Sword-level wielder to be buried there.
After the minute passed, Xiang Yu lay on the ground like a dead man, unable to recover any of his strength for an hour. Anyone could have killed him with a single strike.
Wudang Mountain was rarely visited, and few sword wielders would appear there. Overlord Xiang Yu thought he would be safe after resting for an hour, but fate had other plans. A wild-looking young man with an Ancient Sword-level sword maiden emerged.
Thus, the mighty Overlord Xiang Yu, a Yu Ji Yuanke, fell to a mere Ancient Sword-level wielder. This is the only recorded instance in history of an Ancient Sword-level wielder defeating a Yu Ji Yuanke.
The fall of the Immortal Sword-level wielder shocked the entire world, and many sword wielders rushed to Wudang Mountain to uncover the truth. They discovered that Xiang Yu had also died and brought back the young hero who had defeated him to the base city.
Later investigations revealed that this young hero was a descendant of a family that had been left behind during the evacuation of Wudang Mountain. His sword maiden was none other than Yueling Jian, which, according to his recollection, had rolled to his feet after a mudslide.
Future players, combining the plot of the "Wudang Summit" dungeon and scientific analysis, concluded that this young hero was likely a descendant of Da Niu, who, due to his low intelligence, could have been left behind during the evacuation.

Yueling, the sword maiden, bears a striking resemblance to Song Hama's Chuyun Iron Sword, both towering and intimidating women over two meters tall. Standing next to the equally robust Da Niu, they make a rather harmonious pair.
Yueling's personality is somewhat reserved, and she did not speak a word after awakening. She simply stood quietly by his side, showing no reaction even as Yuan Kong and Gu Han congratulated Da Niu and Yueling.
Seeing his good friend become a sword wielder, Yuan Kong was even more excited and curious. Who would be the third person to become a sword wielder?
"Commander! Let's quickly find the third sword wielder! Where is it? I'll lead the way!" Yuan Kong suggested.
"No need for that!" Gu Han waved his hand and smiled. "The third sword wielder is right here, close at hand."
"Close at hand?" Yuan Kong squinted his eyes and scanned the entire cave. Apart from himself, Gu Han, Da Niu, and the sword maidens Yue Wang, Shui Han, and Yueling, there was no one else. "Oh, I see, Commander, you must be talking about Uncle Wang next door! I never thought he could become a sword wielder!"
Mentioning Uncle Wang, Yuan Kong felt a bit uncomfortable. How could such a person become a sword wielder! This old pervert and bachelor was known to have harmed many widows and young brides, a major pest on Wudang Mountain.
"No, I'm not talking about any neighbor," Gu Han waved his hand. "The person is right here in this cave."
"Don't rush, don't rush, the old woman is just one day away from turning sixty!" The shriveled old woman in the cave kept repeating this phrase.
โโโโโโ
"Commander! Are you sure your method is correct?" Seeing the timid old woman who kept repeating "don't rush, don't rush," the old Taoist Ruyi felt a headache. This Commander insisted that the old woman could become a sword wielder and insisted on opening the armory to find her a sword maiden... If it weren't for the examples of Yuan Kong and Da Niu, Ruyi wouldn't even bother to find an excuse.
The armory of the Wudang Sect is located in the basement of Chaotian Palace, filled with thousands of various precious swords collected by generations of Wudang ancestors over eight hundred years. The most prominent among them is the Zhenwu Jian, placed at the center of the armory and supported by the only new red silk cloth in Wudang Mountain.
It's hard to imagine that this Zhenwu Jian, which looks like a decorative sword sold on street stalls for square dancing, is actually the sword of the Heavenly Palace deity, one of the Four Northern Saints, the Great Emperor Zhenwu, a sword with the power to destroy heaven and earth.
By the way, the leader of the Four Northern Saints is none other than the famous Marshal Tianpeng...
Whether in reality or in the game, this was the first time Gu Han had seen an Immortal Sword-level sword maiden. He glanced deeply at the Zhenwu Jian and then turned his head away. For him now, an Immortal Sword was still too distant. But one day, he would wield an Immortal Sword, and even an Imperial Sword.
"Yuan Kong, go to the seventh row on the left, and bring me the fifth sword from the top!" Gu Han instructed.
"Yes, Commander!" Without a moment's hesitation, Yuan Kong rushed over and retrieved the sword Gu Han had specified.
His obedient behavior made the old Taoist Ruyi's face turn black. Yuan Kong had acted without even consulting him.
"Ruyi, do you know the origin of this sword?" Ruyi's face was already black when he suddenly heard Gu Han's question, leaving him momentarily speechless. He was originally an elder in charge of teaching disciples, and after all his peers and Master Zhijing died, he took over the management of the entire Wudang Sect. The armory had always been managed by other peers, and Ruyi had no knowledge of it.
"This..." Ruyi stammered, unable to provide a clear answer.
"This is the Tianxing Jian!" In contrast, Yuan Kong quickly provided the answer. "Master once told Yuan Kong that this is the Tianxing Jian. Master also told Yuan Kong that a great hero named Yi Tianxing once used this sword. Yi Tianxing and the young Master Qingxu Yuanmiao were close friends. After Yi Tianxing's death, this sword was given to the Master and has been kept here ever since!"
(ps: This section is in memory of the TV series "Young Zhang Sanfeng" I watched three times as a child.)
"Is that so..." Gu Han took the Tianxing Jian and gently handed it to the old woman. "Grandma, please touch this sword and see."
"Touch... and see...?" The frail old woman slowly extended her hand to touch the Tianxing Jian but quickly pulled it back just before making contact.
"The old woman doesn't want to die by the sword, the old woman wants to go to the valley to find the old man... Please, let the old woman go, the old woman is just one day away from turning sixty!"
The old woman's words were confusing and illogical, but they made Yuan Kong and Ruyi's faces turn red. These words involved a deep secret of Wudang Mountain, a secret too shameful to be known by outsiders.
"Just take it!" Ruyi grabbed the old woman's hand and pressed it directly onto the Tianxing Jian. As expected, just as Gu Han said, the next moment, a brilliant light shone, and the old woman, who was one day away from turning sixty, once again had her belly swell.
Five minutes later, a sword maiden in black gauze, with a beauty surpassing Yue Wang, appeared. With her appearance, the sixty-year-old old woman seemed even more aged.
