This Taoist Has Gone Wild, His Sword Set on the World's No. 1

[No System + Traditional Slow-Burn Wuxia, Not a Fast-Paced Power Fantasy + A Touch of Ensemble Cast + The Author’s First Wuxia Novel, Writing Like Crazy…]

A bloodstained jade pendant. A catastrophe that wipes out an entire family.

Rescued by the leader of the Taichu Sect, the boy spends years mastering the sword there before finally stepping into a turbulent martial world:

The Daoist immortals are nowhere to be found, the incense in Buddhist temples is tainted, and blood surges through the demonic abyss! Eight sects vie for power, ten hells demand lives, and the chains of righteousness and evil bind all living beings.

“Leader? Supreme? Just crowns atop a cage!”

He points his sword at the heavens and forges his own path:

He seeks neither power over the world nor dominion over all. He only wishes for a heart untethered, free to roam between heaven and earth!

From standing alone to having heroes follow him, from a tangled blood feud to cleaving the clouds with his sword...

When he stands atop the mountains and gazes toward the pure land in his heart,

The Hidden City in Heaven will at last become the far shore for a free spirit in a chaotic age!

But the flames consuming the Western Regions have already reached the border!

The Fire-Worshiping Demon Cult burns cities and lays waste to the land, while the Sun Wheel warriors seek to swallow the Central Plains!

How could this pure land allow demons to trample it?

This sword is drawn for freedom, for all living beings, and above all... so peace may return to the martial world!
