Swords of the Dragon Warlord - The Book of White Dragon Spirits

For the past few decades, a great number of skilled warriors have been in search of 2 legendary artifacts called, Nine Dragon Jade Circle and Swords of the Dragon Warlords, scouring the land, whenever a clue presents itself.

During their never-ending journey, many warriors from various clans have learned and improved their kung-fu skills exponentially by defeating evil deviants and members of the rival clans in their way.

The legend of the Swords of The Dragon Warlords is proven by renowned archaeologists over numerous years showing evidence that this artifact is more than just a myth.

The legendary Nine Dragon Jade Circle was an accessory, which belonged to the Thunder Emperor, a great legendary warrior. He carved his ultimate kung-fu techniques on the surface of a circle accessory and scattered it's 9 pieces before heading out to the final battle of the War of Nine Dragons.

On the other hand, the tale of the Swords of the Dragon Warlords tells of how the swords were magically forged using 5 sacred elements, and the spirits of 5 Dragons sealed within. According to legend, those who acquire all 5 swords shall unlock the secret passage of the Treasure of the Dragon Warlord, which is has been said to be the key to achieve the status of Overlord of the Mighty Dragons.

The Thunder Emperor had the chance to gain the Black Dragon Warlord Sword, one of the 5 legendary swords, and has achieved Super Metamorphosis, leaving a bloodbath in his wake.

After countless years of searching, a secret room has been discovered in Potala Palace, during their most recent clan battle. What was so important in about the tiny room, that it had been sealed for decades? Even the elders and high councils of the palace had no idea of its existence. Within the dusty room lay nothing, but an old bookshelf containing the legendary Book of White Dragon Spirits. This was one of the greatest discoveries of the century, proving the story of the Swords of the Dragon Warlords was more than just an ancient myth.

Without hesitation, the leaders of well-established clans rushed to Potala Palace in Tibet, in order to conduct an expedition to unlock and obtain the secrets of the Book of White Dragon Spirits. Countless souls perished during their investigation, but nothing could stop them from acquiring the precious book, as they paved the roads to Potala Palace with blood.

The strongest 6 clans were no exception but realized that the battle over the legendary artifacts must be halted before any further expeditions could be conducted. Ultimately, the leaders of the 6 clans had an official meeting and came to an agreement to forge 6 copies of the Book of White Dragon Spirits, to be passed down to the successors of each clan head, putting an end to the surrounding chaos.

After the forgeries of the Book of White Dragon Spirits were handed to the leader of each clan, leading scholars and archaeologists are gathered to decode the ancient text and reveal the path to become the Overlord of the Mighty Dragons.

The decoding process was a very tedious and complicated process, uncovering the meaning of only 3 sentences thus far:

Crimson Fog
"Everywhere is filled with blood, smoke, fog, and corpses..."

Scattering Souls
"Difficult to perform techniques by scattering one's vital energy."

Silent Fortress
"There is no safe zone due to the surrounding delicate formations."
