Embers Burn Brightly

--- He was an ember that was meant to be extinguished. Abandoned under a catalpa tree, raised by a blind old woman, treated as an outcast by the sect, having his Dantian broken, his cultivation ruined, and thrown into the mud to die - in the past three hundred years, He Zhiju learned three things: not to have expectations, not to get close to others, and not to look back. He is a man who rose from the ashes after being crushed by fate. That night, he met a dying boy in the wilderness. The boy was covered in blood, his spiritual roots were destroyed, and only a pair of shiny black eyes were left, staring at him, like a drowning man grabbing the last piece of driftwood. "Can... Help me? I don't want to die... I haven't... Seen enough..." He Zhiju stopped. In those eyes, he saw himself one hundred and eighty years ago. "Wen Yanheng. The courtesy name is Huaijin." He named the boy, "Your gentleness is the compassion for this world; your fortitude is the sword reserved for morality. Don't lose it." From "master" to "master" to "master", it took the young man three years to complete this journey, but it took him a lifetime to understand - that cold and frosty person never promised eternity, but he never let go. This is a story about ruins and reconstruction, ashes and everlasting light. One person teaches another person to live, and another person teaches him what love is. Heaven and earth are incompatible, fate is difficult, life and death are separated—— He had been waiting for him for a hundred years. He returns from the ashes. Why does the fire stay on when it should be extinguished? Because someone is watching over you. --- [Tag] Cultivation of immortals | Pure love between two male protagonists | The end of the year of master and apprentice | Reunion | Cold and ruthless shou × Loyal dog's infatuated attack | From refining energy to ascension | A novel with tens of millions of words Intention: In the world of cultivation where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the weak, how do two people crawling out of the mud use each other's body temperature to protect the fire in each other's heart that is about to die out?
