Searching for Dragons in Kunlun: Reborn in 1995

Tone: slow burn, survival, and setting the stage. It captures the texture of life in 1995, as the protagonist suppresses the hatred he carries after being reborn and keeps his feet firmly on the ground. Exploration, mystery, and team dynamics. The protagonist’s cultivation improves slowly, and he begins to encounter elements of fantasy.

My name is Jiang Xun. I died once, and then I came back to life.

I died in 2010. The waves in the South China Sea could smash a person to pieces. My most trusted senior, Lin Xiao, teamed up with a bunch of scoundrels to stab me. I fell into the sea, covered in blood. Only when the icy water filled my lungs did I learn just how vicious people could be.

I lived to the age of 33. I was born into an old Jiangnan family of antique dealers and feng shui practitioners. Later, I went to Longhu Mountain to study Taoism and apprenticed myself to a master of the tomb-raiding trade. With all my skills, I traveled across the country and even ventured to Southeast Asia, Japan, and the United States. In the end, I was betrayed by everyone and met a miserable death on the seabed.
