Returning in Spring

The realm had enjoyed peace for a long time, but the jianghu's sects were rife with turmoil, and political infighting at court was growing fierce. The struggle among the princes for the throne was becoming increasingly obvious. Here lived the world's finest Sword Immortals, reclusive Daoist heirs who had transcended the world, and impoverished scholars who studied poetry and books until they made their names overnight. There were also penniless scholars who had mastered the art of slaying dragons and the nineteen moves of Feilu. The feudal lords held sway over the court, while the Duke of the State kept the realm in check. The one high upon the throne gazed calmly down at all under heaven, while the princes seated below him eagerly prepared to make their moves. Everyone, I have a Daoist art I'd like to share with you.
