Synopsis

Yun Yi was born with a flawed immortal seed, a faint glimmer of wind affinity, dimming like a candle about to go out.

He believes his path to immortality has ended. Born frail and weak, he has kept medicine close and suffered from illness for nearly sixteen years. The rest of his life seems no better than an endgame with no winning moves.

He lives alone in the deep mountains, watching over a dilapidated academy and keeping company with the game of Go day and night.

But he has no idea that a spark of golden lightning lies dormant deep within his dantian.

It is the other half of his immortal seed, slumbering like an abyss as it waits for its moment.

When thunder breaks the old game and the wind opens a new one, he finally understands that a new chapter in his story has begun.

A Reading List That Rides the Wind and Breaks the Waves

I'll add new books from every category, and readers are welcome to recommend books too. I occasionally add published books with great plots as well. These are honest recommendations.
