The Calamity on the Path to Immortality

Fate gave me life in the mountains, yet I fell into the mortal world like a carefree cloud. Fate sent me through the gates of an immortal sect, yet I strode on clouds into the heights of the mortal world. Fate took my father and mother from me, so with my frenzied sword I struck down my foes. Fate brought turmoil to the mortal world, so with raging flames I scorched the eight wildernesses. I severed love and hatred, executed the wicked, brought peace to the world, and saved the people... How many meritorious deeds can withstand power's corruption? How many victories can quell the strife of human desires? Enough, enough, enough. In the end, it is no more than a dream of yellow millet, And no one escapes a grave in the Yellow Springs.
