Bound by the Years? I Break Through One Realm a Year

[Martial Arts Divine Powers + Alternate Dynasty + Decisive and Ruthless] Blurb 1: A tiger sees no ditches in its path, while a coward sees nothing but obstacles. In the Great Kun Dynasty, Emperor Jialong is nearing the end of his lifespan, the Yan faction controls the imperial court, and the martial world brims with clashing blades. It all begins in a small city on the banks of the Huai River. There’s a flower thief who steps on his own left foot with his right and spirals into the sky; a monk with skin like bronze that no blade can pierce; a swordsman who gets drunk in a peach grove and fells a thousand miles with one strike… Wang Jian, a master of traditional martial arts suffering from an incurable illness, opens his ancestral Longevity Lock and finds himself in a world of martial arts. He awakens the [Shackles]. Once he accumulates enough energy, he can break through the shackles of his realm. From then on, while others hit a bottleneck in their cultivation and spend decades in seclusion without making progress, Wang Jian breaks through naturally. “Martial arts in this world have their own unique qualities. If I can become a Bone-Tempering Martial Master, I may be able to cure my illness…” Blurb 2: Two great gangs, three Daoist mountains, four Buddhist temples, five sword sects, six demonic paths, seven reclusive heroes, eight barbarian tribes, and nine monster caves. In the Great Kun Dynasty of 1566, martial arts master Wang Jian arrives in this world and rises to prominence, starting from a local martial arts school. He neither asks about his past life nor seeks anything in the next. He only wants to live boldly, settle scores as he pleases, defeat the prodigies of every race, and laugh in the face of the gods and demons of the Six Paths. Many years later, someone seeks out the Great Kun martial arts champion, the Martial Saint of the mortal world, to ask how he mastered martial arts. “At twenty-three, I broke through the first gate and entered the martial arts realm. The prodigies at my level were all fifteen or sixteen.” “Yet I mastered inner force in three years and achieved the Dharma Form in five. The experts at my level were all in their sixties or seventies.” “How did the Martial Saint manage that?” “It’s simple. Break through one realm a year!”
