    This is a very niche martial arts novel, with simple and concise writing style, ingenious martial arts design, and wisdom everywhere in the drama. Multiple sects and regional cultural characteristics appear in the novel, past events, grievances, family, country, and world. It is a novel with very grand values. I hope my friends will support it.
