无极生太极,太极生两仪。
两仪生四象,所以太极是由无极而生,无极是由无极长老修炼而成,年代已不可考据,传说无极长老修炼成无极之术后武功盖世,更是得道成仙,从而长生不老,不死不灭,后来长老看破红尘,不问世事,终年云游天地之间。

消息传出后,江湖各大门派都为得到无极之术而展开了一场腥风血雨的争夺厮杀,心术不正,野心勃勃的无相想得到天逸身上开启天极诀的钥匙,暗地里便派出杀手追杀天逸夫妇,天逸在和无相争斗中将钥匙流落人间,为了不让钥匙落入歹人之手,夫妇二人便利用时空石穿越到2020年寻找拥有那把钥匙的后人。
故事便由此展开了.....。Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal.
Part 1: Ruling by the Book
Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum.
Part 2: What a King Should Know
Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia.
Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power
The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance.
