Synopsis

The temple's incense never fades, while the towers overflow with debauchery.

Good and evil intertwine, and cause and effect never cease.

A passerby draws his sword and rails against injustice,

while a bandit raises his brows, sparks a fight, and issues a challenge.

We follow the ancients, poring over old books and parsing every word,

slaying demons and subduing monsters.

We head north, then travel south of the river.

Beneath bright lanterns, the notes of the five tones ring out,

while greed for anger, delusion, wealth, and beauty leaves people trembling in silence.

If the world were a broken song,

human lives would be nothing more than endless cycles of death and return.

The vast world is full of wonders.

In Jingzhe Cave Heaven, one of the thirty-six blessed paradises of the Vast and Righteous World, a boy raised to believe that human nature is evil is forced onto the chessboard between two worlds, and begins to question his heart and seek the Dao.

Xianxia and Jianghu Like Sword Snow Stride, No Power Fantasy, No System

I don't want stories where everyone except the male lead has no intelligence. I've read too many of those goofy novels, and they're bad for your brain.
