Great Love Master

Is it a smile from the Immortal Venerable, laughing at the world?

A divine bone flicks a finger and changes the azure sky.

A thousand true affections all become dreams.

How many in this fleeting life can see things clearly?

One song of spring and autumn, and only regret remains.

One should laugh at great love, for fate has reached its end.

Bones are the true essence of heaven and earth, containing essence, soul, spirit, marrow, mystery, intent, emptiness, form, divinity: the Nine Essences.

Humans are the spirit of all things, containing intelligence, wisdom, affinity, cause, effect, emptiness, enlightenment, clarity, stubbornness: the Nine Spirits.

Bone Masters open their bone meridians at five, their bone apertures at ten, then refine bone beasts and awaken bone aspects to become First-Rank Bone Masters.

The supreme dragon bone, the wondrous phoenix bone, the ordinary beast bone, the rare monster bone, the precious demon bone, the finest essence bone, the peerless immortal bone...

Over time, countless sages gradually uncovered the mysteries of bone.

Demons and ghosts, brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, blades, spears, swords and halberds, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo and chrysanthemums, metal, stone, jade and artifacts: from the vault of heaven above to the spirits of the earth below, the bones of all things can be refined and used by Bone Masters.

From the moment Bai Li was born, he displayed an extraordinary sign: he was actually born with a radiant golden dragon bone in his mouth.

It was said that he was the reincarnation of a Bone Immortal.

This child of heaven, blessed with immense fortune, was destined to ascend to immortality one day. Yet, at six months old, he suffered a catastrophe. Someone dug out his golden dragon bone, his ten bone meridians withered, and two bone apertures shattered, leaving him a cripple.

In the year Bai Li turned fourteen, his cousin, who called himself Bai Yi, returned. At a single glance, something inside Bai Li reacted differently, and he began to suspect that Bai Yi might have been involved in the theft of his golden dragon bone.
