[Wuxia Crossover] The Sword Immortal Has Ascended

(For a better reading experience, I've decided to wait until I have 100,000 words saved up before posting.) Blurb: Ye Gucheng lost both his parents at a young age. Burdened with the responsibility of White Cloud City, he struggled through each day as he grew up, eventually making the city's name known far and wide. His cool, aloof demeanor also earned him the title "Sword Immortal." But no one knew that this man, who appeared to outsiders as a powerful martial artist and the lord of a city, had one day awoken from a nightmare only to find that his aloofness had become truly cold and distant. His gaze shifted from White Cloud City to the world at large. The power of the world could only be measured in terms of political influence. White Cloud City was nothing more than a chess piece. He refused to be manipulated, gradually changing from a pawn into the player, shaping the world as a man of the jianghu. His goal, however, was quite simple: he only wanted to protect his city. And while everyone was debating whether he or Ximen Chuixue was more powerful, he had already fulfilled his mission and ascended to heaven in broad daylight. Afterward, White Cloud City's standing in both the imperial court and the jianghu became even more unassailable. As the lord of White Cloud City, Ye Gucheng truly fulfilled his mission. He also completed the task he had really been given. There was just one little unexpected complication. Note: 1. The male lead is the father of the female lead, Huang Zhongli. No romantic pairing, no romantic pairing, no romantic pairing. The big shot stands alone. 2. A chaotic mash-up of wuxia worlds, with a scrambled timeline. Don't worry about it. 3. The big shot ascends near the end. The author's writing is amateurish, so feel free to offer suggestions. (I'm sure you can all guess what the little complication is.) Theme: Look toward the distance, and you'll discover how vast the world really is.
