[I'm writing about a world, not a book.]
All things can be understood through yin and yang.
Zhang Gua's birth was already baffling enough. Then came one strange opportunity after another, inexplicable enemies, and an undying vendetta weighing on his shoulders. Above the dynasty is the Immortal Court, and above the Immortal Court is divine authority... How will Zhang Gua carve out a place for himself in this broken world?
When facing the avatar of the Yin-Yang Pavilion's dying Supreme Ancestor,
The Supreme Ancestor formed a Daoist hand seal, black and white energies flowing in his hands. "Reverse yin and yang!"
Zhang Gua laughed furiously. "Who said you could turn it?!"
He brought one foot down, and the spinning Taiji diagram came to an abrupt stop.
The Supreme Ancestor, struck by the backlash, died instantly!
Zhang Gua: "When it comes to yin and yang, I'm your ancestor!"
