[Original Story, No System, Slow-Burn, Cerebral, One Heroine]
A young xianxia swordsman slays a great demon at the Ascension Realm with his sword, then casually carves the words “Yong, zhou” into the wall of the Demon-Suppression Pass. Alas, in the end, he dies of exhaustion.
The two flying swords hovering above the wall never fall. They seem to be waiting for their master’s summons. They wait for eighteen years…
Eighteen years later, a young man with the same name takes up the unfulfilled wish left upon the flying swords and returns to Yongzhou.
He travels south from Lengshuitan, passing through Dong’an, Lingling, Shuangpai, Daozhou, Jiangyong, and on to Jianghua.
Then, setting out from Jianghua, he passes through Lanshan, Ningyuan, and Xintian before reaching Qiyang.
Along the way, the mountains and rivers, their breathtaking scenery, and the strange tales and heroic deeds temper and refine the young man’s character and cultivation. At last, he completes his path to the Great Dao…
