The five pieces are one, with the core located at the breastplate; that is the power hub and the manifestation of Dao rhyme for the entire set of sword armor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu was like the most precise craftsman, analyzing this ancient armor inherited from the \"Heavenly River Sword Venerable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Resonance with the Heaven-Trailing Cloud Sword is achieved through the sword guard and the breastplate totem.
