Half a life spent in ignorance and naivety, the other half in steady pursuit of truth.
Xuan Ming lived fifty-five muddled years in a foreign world, unaware of his past or purpose. But one day, he awakened—his memories of past and present lives converging. For five years, he secluded himself in the Sutra Library, studying ancient scriptures. Then, in the year of the Jiazi Cycle, when all things renew, he finally transformed—a late bloomer, but destined for greatness.
With the Daoist scripture Huangting Jing as his foundation, he delved into the vast Daoist Canon, seeking enlightenment through diligent study and steadfast cultivation:
After reading 300 scrolls, he grasped the Primordial Foundation Technique.
After 600 scrolls, he comprehended the True Art of Five Thunders.
After 900 scrolls, he mastered the Celestial Spirit-Nurturing Method.
…
Observing the movements of the stars, he created the Heavenly Star Formation.
Gazing into the depths of the underworld, he forged the Nine Netherworld Domain.
In his moments of leisure, he watched the flowers bloom and wither before his courtyard, saw the clouds drift and shift across the sky—nurturing his mind and spirit, pursuing inner peace and absolute freedom.
"One who seeks solace beyond the mortal world is not one who polishes mirrors in the dust of society."
Xuan Ming shunned trouble, dedicating himself solely to the Dao.
As for those who obstructed his path and clouded his thoughts—he simply stroked the peachwood sword in his hand and smiled in silence.
