Huai Xi: An unremarkable genius blessed by heaven.
Huai Xi of the Xuanjian Sect was born with a Daoist heart and made astonishing progress in her cultivation.
She was the idol of countless disciples in the immortal sects.
Before realizing that this was a cultivation continent steeped in ancient Eastern fantasy,
Huai Xi had always thought this was simply a story about dying and coming back to life.
Dead, then alive again.
After dying suddenly and coming back to life, Huai Xi decided that living a long, long time was her top priority.
By a twist of fate, the Heavenly Dao decided she should pursue the path of immortality through cultivation.
But what did it mean to cultivate the path of immortality?
Go to bed early and get up early? Eat three meals a day? Kill yourself and become a ghost to attain immortality?
Immortality was about following your heart and doing whatever you pleased, loving and hating as you saw fit, and doing everything you wanted to do.
Being a person with little regard for manners was the quickest way to happiness.
From then on, even breathing would improve her cultivation.
"I cultivate the Dao of obsession: the obsession of lovesick men and resentful women, the obsession of a heart that never changes."
"I cultivate the Dao of the sword: a person is a sword, a sword is a person. Only when both person and sword are present can one reach the summit."
Huai Xi: I cultivate the Dao of immortality.
When I attain the Dao, I will be immortal.
From then on, I will roam the world as I please. Whether they be demons, ghosts, or gods, they will all revere me as their king.
Those who follow the path of dispassion see all things as straw dogs. Those who reject the Dao seek to destroy all things.
Now that we have gathered, let us raise our cups and celebrate attaining the Immortal Dao! Every meeting is fate, and every parting is Heaven's will. When the day comes, we will meet again.
Theme: A person encounters many things throughout life. Always keep the passion you had at the beginning, and continue to grow along the way.
