One Step Beyond the Summit

[Practical cultivation notes and accounts of folk customs]

When I was young, I thought I was extraordinary, but reality dealt me one blow after another.

Back then, I thought that no matter how wild the dreams of youth might be, I'd never imagined breaking free from the so-called mundane world.

It wasn't until the summer around my sixteenth year, after witnessing one extraordinary thing after another with my own eyes,

that I understood:

Even the wildest fantasies of the past could not escape the four words “fame, fortune, and wealth.”

Life is like a slender reed.

Sixteen years of life make up the number “one hundred and six.”

Life and death are the two ends of the reed.

No matter how much power you wield or how vast your wealth,

in the end, you can only come to a halt...

Fortunately, this extraordinary encounter showed me that there is still a way in this world to transcend life and death!

And among the countless people of this world, there are also many kindred spirits pursuing the goal of taking one more step beyond the hundred-foot pole!
