Name: It Was Nothing but a Great Dream
Author: Plantago Seed

Synopsis

An immortal in a dream, borrowing five hundred more years from Heaven.

A sword immortal of the martial world, holding the world in check with a single sword.

Dead wood blooms anew, and all plants begin to grow.

The Medical Sage’s mansion, empty for decades, now has someone living in it. The little miracle doctor who saves the world cannot heal himself. The nameless wanderer roaming the martial world is not troubled by petty concerns.

There is only one teacher at the academy, and only five scholars beneath him. Soon, a sixth will arrive...

With Ye Qingcheng’s disappearance, another storm of bloodshed is about to sweep through the martial world.

The court and sects are consumed by greed. Swordsmen and young heroes carry the world in their hearts.

The nameless wanderer will one day have a name. Who in all the world will not know you?

A blind man learning the sword? Absurd! Yet in three years, he becomes a sword immortal!

The finest doctor? The strongest martial artist? If I do it, I’ll be the best in the world!

“Pretty boy, what does the martial world mean to you?”

“A swift horse, a jug of fine wine, a treasured sword, and a journey to the ends of the earth.”

“And you?”

“Some people are born for the world, but my martial world began with a dream. The jianghu is just one great dream.”

Any Pure Wuxia Novels?

Any good martial arts stories? People hardly write wuxia these days. I miss it. Nowadays, everyone gets a System and cheats their way to immortality and godhood, with divine physiques and all that. I'm sick of it. It's so boring. I want to feel the thrill of roaming the world with a sword and settling scores with a sense of justice.
