Get ready for some kick arse martial arts swordplay and action as the web novel based fantasy drama "Once Upon a Time There was a Spirit Sword Mountain" transports us back in time again as it dramatises the story of Wang Lu, and his journey of cultivation into the Spirit Blade Sect under the tutelage of Wang Wu.
Actor Xu Kai who needs no further introduction after his portrayal of Mo Qing in The Legends impressed many audiences, will be playing the drama's protagonist hero Wang Lu, while the beautiful Sandrine Pinna will be playing opposite as his mentor Wang Wu .
What makes the Spirit Blade Sect special you ask? The Spirit Blade Sect, founded in the year 4233 is legendary in having cultivated martial arts geniuses the world over for more than a thousand years. It has continued to thrive and be considered as one of the five major sects in the Ten Thousand Celestial Alliance. In an effort to attract new blood and bring in new initiates, prodigies and hero-potentials have all been welcomed to attend the Celestial gathering. It is into this "world" our protagonist Wang Lu finds himself in, who under the tutelage of his mentor Wang Wu, sets out on his own path to greatness.
Aside from Xu Kai, whose good looks seem well tailored for period dramas and Sandrine Pinna, Ryan Zhu Yuanbing, Gao Yuer, Guo Xiaoting, He Wenjun and Zheng Yawen will also be featured in the series.
