Three Teachings + Xianxia + Jianghu + Imperial Court (The early chapters have some slow-moving ensemble setup. From around chapter fifteen onward, the story focuses mainly on the protagonist. I’ve also fleshed out the discussions of character strength. If you want to know a character’s background and how powerful they are, or want me to spoil their strength, leave the character’s name in a review and I’ll reply carefully.
Note: Every name hints at the character’s background, fate, or personality.)
Kan means a rock by the road; Ke means beautiful jade. One born under Kan is fated to lack a piece and never be complete. If fate leaves you short by one foot, then fight for ten. Kan can become Ke.
Synopsis: At the Land of Dragon Slaying, a scholar in blue robes stakes his life to lay a plan for peace in the generations to come.
With the help of that scholar in blue robes, Cao Ke, a poor alley boy, escapes the prison known as the Land of Dragon Slaying. Then, through the long, dusty years, among peddlers and laborers, nobles and ministers, the young man weathers countless trials, until all that remains is a spring breeze, peach wine, and a laugh.
Note:
Martial artists in this world are ranked into nine grades. Above the ninth grade is the Martial God.
Martial Gods have three realms: Return to Truth, Divine Arrival, and Mountaintop.
Only one Martial God at the Mountaintop Realm can exist in the world at a time. Those who come after can only rise by defeating a superior opponent, winning against a Mountaintop Realm Martial God while at the Divine Arrival Realm to claim their place at the summit.
