Tian Long: Without Heaven

A young man leaves home and dies in an unfortunate accident. He never expected to transmigrate and be reborn in Jin Yong’s Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. Born a prince, he is abandoned by his father and wanders from place to place with his mother. They settle beneath Shaoshi Mountain, where he becomes a Shaolin monk forbidden to learn martial arts. Resenting heaven’s injustice and his father’s heartlessness, he refuses to settle for an uneventful life. He sneaks into the scripture library, practices the Yi Jin Jing, masters the Seventy-Two Arts, and earns the favor and guidance of the nameless old monk, quietly growing stronger without even realizing it. He enters Dali, steals the Six Meridian Divine Sword and claims the Northern Darkness Divine Art. From then on, the martial world is his to roam and heaven and earth his to wander freely. Wutian stands at the summit, gazing down at the drifting clouds and mist. He murmurs, “What is right, and what is wrong? I roam the martial world and wander heaven and earth at will. I recognize no law but my own. I am the law, and I am heaven.”
