One strike against the ancient embankment on the Baishui River shattered the truth that had been kept from me for eleven years.
My father did not die in a quarrying accident. He was an heir to the Wallguard tradition, silenced to keep him from talking.
And I am the last remaining spark of the Wallguard Sect.
The Stonecleavers destroy stone carvings, erase true history, and set one deadly trap after another to force me into their game.
A Wallguard's chisel can break through stone, but it can also pierce the barriers of the human heart.
I will break through the Nine Realms, set bones and mend sinews, open meridians and master qi, overcoming trial after trial and calamity after calamity.
I seek no revenge. I only want the true history altered and buried in stone to see the light of day.
Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, and men and women are twin Dao bodies. By cultivating together and aiding one another, yin and yang may become one.
The Nine Realms correspond to nine ancient secret realms of the Li people. Each threshold brings another tribulation; only by forming a shadow and breaking through can one attain the Great Dao.
The Wallguard Sect embodies yang, and the Stonecleavers embody yin. With one chisel strike to subdue the stone veins, I will tread the Nine Realms, brave the Nine Secrets, unite yin and yang, and defy heaven to break the game.
