Seeking Truth on a Journey

Lin Feng endured the disdain of everyone in Wen Village. He was accidentally injured in the ravine behind the village, perhaps along a tributary at the edge of the Fairy Pool watershed, and his blood soaked into an ancestral iron shard. The shard absorbed the “resentment” he had bottled up for years and the faint “air of sorrow” that pervaded the village, awakening the Heaven-Defying Art. The “evil spirit energy” he devoured for the first time may have come from the pain and obsession of an elderly villager on the verge of death.
