This book is entirely handwritten; I've poured a tremendous amount of effort into it. I know hard work doesn't guarantee success, and relying on sympathy won't get you anywhere. I just want to give my work a chance. The following is an excerpt from the novel. If you like it, please take a look. I want to thank all my godparents and give you all a big thank you. Content: As Li Siyue revealed herself, countless vengeful spirits shrouded in thick black energy surged forth from the ground like a tidal wave. Their faces were ferocious and terrifying. Some gripped Li Siyue's ankles and bit them, while others opened their fanged maws and lunged at her body. Terrifying screams echoed from all directions, reverberating throughout the entire cave. Li Siyue's eyes sharpened, and she instantly activated the Cold Moon Technique. In an instant, the cold moonlight surged from her body. The ghosts that had lunged at her before they could even touch her clothes were instantly frozen by the extreme cold contained within the moonlight, turning into crystal-clear ice sculptures suspended in the air. Li Siyue lightly touched the ground with her toes, and a visible ripple of moonlight spread out from her. The ghosts that had entangled her ankles didn't even have time to scream before shattering like glass within the ripples, dissipating into countless ice crystals. She leaped into the air, her spiritual power intertwining with the power of the cold moonlight, condensing into thousands of moon-colored flying swords around her. The swords spun wildly around her, emitting sharp whistling sounds. As the sword energy crisscrossed, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a thick layer of frost instantly formed on the stone walls. Li Siyue lightly raised her jade-like hand and pointed towards the thousands of ice-sculpted ghosts suspended in mid-air. "Go!" A thousand flying swords shot out simultaneously, like a reversed silver meteor shower, each sword precisely piercing through an ice sculpture. The vengeful spirits of the ghosts were as fragile as paper before the moonlight flying swords. The moment they were pierced, the ice layer, along with the ghosts within, shattered into countless ice shards. The black energy was purified by the moonlight, emitting a hissing sound. Thousands of ghost soldiers were completely annihilated in a single breath. Then, even denser black energy surged forth from the cracks in the walls, from the corpses of cultivators, from the stone walls, and from the torches. Countless vengeful spirits surged out from all directions like a tidal wave, densely packed, filling the entire cave.

   "If you don't write, tonight, Chang'an will be utterly wiped out." The gray, ethereal thought, devoid of joy or anger, was utterly cold, like a judgment descended by the heavens, or a summons from chaos itself. Yuan Tiangang trembled. He looked at the dying people of the city, at the two ancient characters "Bodhi" on the sky, at the blank scroll on the stone table that seemed to swallow the heavens and earth. Finally, he reached out. The instant his fingertips touched the ink brush, his fingertips vanished. Not injured, not broken, but simply dissolved into nothingness, as if they had never existed. The ink brush automatically absorbed his divine soul power, and on the blank scroll, it made its first stroke. This stroke was not of mortal ink. It was a falling star, a reversal of heaven and earth. A picture slowly appeared on the scroll: the sun and moon in the same sky, yin and yang embracing, two streams of energy, one black and one white, forming a circle. Within the circle were no words, yet ten thousand secret patterns flowed. Beside it, a line of small characters appeared out of thin air: "The vast heavens and earth, without end, the sun and moon cycle, endlessly repeating." The first image, complete. Yuan Tiangang collapsed to the ground, staring at his vanished fingertips, at the strange diagram on the stone table, at the fading "Bodhi" on the sky, and finally understood—he wasn't writing a prophecy.
