The path of cultivation is a struggle against the heavens, a fight for a sliver of life and the chance to seize the world's fortune.
Yet some shield another with their mortal bodies, shattering their foundations and severing their path to immortality, all to keep one person safe.
Some take the world as their board, placing stones from afar to suppress mountains and rivers and shape the very order of things, turning life and death around in the direst of straits.
Some pluck a solitary ancient zither with delicate hands, drawing notes that move ghosts and gods, wandering the mortal world to voice the sorrows of a thousand ages.
Some wield a three-foot green steel sword, cutting through brambles and cleaving the sky, fighting amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
When the winds of change rise once more, watch as the youth who fell into the mire, with an unyielding will, sets foot on the path to immortality again and claims dominion over the cosmos!
