No mindless plot, no female lead, and a slow pace that gets more exciting as the story goes on. The protagonist is ruthless: he harms innocent young men, beats a disabled old man to death, launches a sneak attack on a cold beauty, and deceives an honest brother and sister.
Evade Heaven’s will and avoid karma, yet every shackle traps the true self.
Follow Heaven’s will and accept karma, and only today do I know who I am.
Awaken to the Dao and see the true self. Why fear the shackles of the past?
The shackles of this world are but a dream: formless, shapeless, and without a self.
Cultivation is fundamentally about defying Heaven and changing one’s fate. Following Heaven’s Dao and opposing it are two entirely different paths, each giving rise to a distinct way of cultivation.
The essence of cultivation is to cultivate both body and mind, seeking completeness in both life and spirit, with the human being at its core.
