B&S Revolution has kicked off a collaboration event with the Naver webtoon, Return of the Blossoming Blade. Throughout the event, players can encounter iconic characters such as the 13th disciple of the Mount Hua Sect, the Plum Blossom Sword Saint 'Chung Myung', along with Baek Cheon, Yu I-seol, Yun Jong, and Jo Geol. Furthermore, the game features a faithful recreation of the Mount Hua Sect and the 'Ten Thousand Mountains' dungeon. KookminTree took a deep dive into the festivities.

The pinnacle of swordplay: 'Mount Hua Sect'

The images above capture the main stage of this event, the Mount Hua Sect. Once you complete the first act of the main story, 'To Bamboo Village', you can enter by clicking the event button in-game. This quest is situated in the very early stages of B&S Revolution, making it easily accessible for newcomers. Upon entering, you are greeted by breathtaking scenery featuring the Mount Hua Sect buildings nestled among rocky peaks and blooming plum blossoms.

The first figure you encounter is Chung Myung. More precisely, you see the backs of disciples deep in sword training, with Chung Myung teaching them the Plum Blossom Sword Technique. For fans of Return of the Blossoming Blade, it feels like a casual, nostalgic peek into the daily life of the Mount Hua Sect.

Venture further in, and you will find NPCs for gear maintenance, including a warehouse keeper and a crafting merchant. While soaking in the event's atmosphere, you can continue to use these essential town functions. By heading outside, you can participate in the limited-time mission 'Train in Return of the Blossoming Blade'. It is a great way to farm 'Plum Blossom Pill' for the Hongmoon Arts, so train like a true disciple every day.

Collect 'Plum Blossom Coins' for a Return of the Blossoming Blade cosplay!

In the wardrobe, you can preview the event-exclusive outfits and character hats. The signature looks feature the black and white martial arts attire associated with the Mount Hua Sect. Think of them like the faction uniforms of the Murim Alliance and the Cloud Sect in B&S Revolution. Even though they originate from different worlds, the shared martial arts aesthetic makes them a perfect fit for your character.

The hats are particularly charming, balancing original design with a touch of humour. You can effectively 'cosplay' by wearing masks modelled after the faces of the Mount Hua characters. However, because they are scaled to the actual character proportions, they look rather quirky when worn by the pint-sized Lyn race. If you want to stand out, these are must-have items. KookminTree personally recommends the Gon race; the combination of the black outfit and the Chung Myung mask matches their build perfectly.

If you want to earn these items yourself, get involved in the ongoing events. You can acquire outfits through the 'Ten Thousand Mountains' event dungeon and weekly reset missions. Simply collect Plum Blossom Coins and exchange them for 'Outfit Coins' at the Mount Hua Sect coin shop to purchase your desired look.

The battle in Ten Thousand Mountains where the ultimate villain, 'Heavenly Demon', awaits

Dungeons are the heartbeat of B&S Revolution, often demanding intricate knowledge of boss mechanics and tight party coordination. This collaboration leans into those strengths, pitting players against the primary antagonist of Return of the Blossoming Blade, the 'Heavenly Demon'.

You can obtain three 'Ten Thousand Mountains Entrance Tickets (Event)' each week from the event summon shop. From there, head to the 'Ten Thousand Mountains Dungeon Manager Hyeonjo' in the Tomun Inn to enter. While the Heavenly Demon is infamous for being a ruthless villain in the source material, rest assured that the event dungeon includes significant buffs, making it easily approachable even for those who just started playing B&S Revolution.

If the fight drags on and you find yourself facing the Heavenly Demon's enrage phase, try utilizing the Guardian Spirits of the Return of the Blossoming Blade characters. They provide special event-exclusive bonuses, including increased damage output and damage reduction.

What's more, these event Guardian Spirits boast leader skills and base stats that rival the standard B&S Revolution lineup. They remain useful even after the event concludes, so keep that in mind. You can obtain these characters through the event missions and the in-game summon shop.
