The Bearing of a Hegemon

Amid boundless flying snow, a white-hatted wanderer faces the wind and heads into a foreign land. The frozen bones may be buried in the green mountains, but the village lights cannot keep the one who must honor his appointment.

Clouds coil around the Tianshan Mountains, waters wind around dragons. When Buddha and demon meet eyes, surely there is a reason.

With a blade in hand, he splits mountains and shatters the earth. Proudly standing at the summit, he wears a robe adorned with a hundred flowers. Once, he made the heroes feel inferior, and even the ghostly champions acknowledged him as their master!

He does not covet the path to immortality, attained in a fleeting moment. Instead, he would be a hegemon for the sake of his beloved! The sun and moon rest in his heart, while he searches the mountains and seas for the butterfly fairy.

He leaves behind a name for both life and death, waiting only for those who come after to laugh and tell his tale.
