Xuanhuan: I Cultivate Longevity Through Peace

[Fantasy + Immortality + Female Lead + Long, Slow-Burn Story + Alternate World + Mastermind Boss + Nearly Invincible] My name is Shen Tongzhen, a young man from Zhenjiang City. I once ruled the pleasure houses, a dashing king, and penned verses of exquisite beauty. Power and desire made a nest of demons; who knew everything would turn absurd? They say the road is paved with blood beneath the setting sun, yet all are simply fighting to be king. I lament the rise and fall of all life, yet laugh at greed, anger, delusion, and folly. The living see life; the dead, too, are beyond measure. I reach the Heavenly Dao, pursue immortality, and forge mystic arts until my bones exude fragrance. How laughable: the bonds of the mortal world are faint, and in a single stormy day, all is lost. Across three lives and five incarnations, heroes lie buried; through ages of carefree days, only I remain, ageless beneath the heavens. (Note: Martial arts ranks are Martial Artist, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, True Person, True Lord... For the ranks beyond these, please see the main story!)
