The Cultivating Swordsman

Book titles: Martial Arts: Sword, Cultivating the Way of the Sword

(High martial arts, no System, not a wish-fulfillment novel, no tiered martial arts ranks, court and jianghu conflicts, a slow burn early on. If that's not your thing, don't read it. Criticism welcome.)

What is a hero?

One definition says: someone who stands up for justice, suppresses the strong, and protects the weak.

A great hero says: The greatest heroes serve their country and their people.

An immortal says: Kill a man within ten steps, travel a thousand miles without leaving a trace. When the deed is done, brush off your sleeves and leave, hiding both your identity and your fame.

My understanding: Heroism and the Way are alike, boundless and without end. They differ only in the heights they reach!

And the sword?

The sword shines brighter than a shooting star, is deeper than the ocean, and stretches farther than infinity!
