His ultimate goal isn't power or conquest, but absolute freedom — liberation from death, from the control of powerful lords, and from the confines of this world. Meet Wuyi, formerly a gangster's accountant, now reborn in a world torn between the Righteous and the Demonics. Gifted with a unique ability by the gods of his previous life, Wuyi possesses an exceptional edge in this new realm. While Wuyi yearns for a peaceful life, he's not afraid to become the villain that this world might need. Determined to secure his freedom, he's prepared to upheave this world, paying no heed to its moral divides. He will not rest until he attains the deepest desire of his soul.
When Li Xian fought, he dismissed all worldly concerns and was only the point of his spear. The master's words rang through him like the meeting of blades between two strong men, like the clarion call of a stallion trumpeting.
"Thank you, master."
"Be of good cheer. A great test is coming. You must be ready."
"I am always ready."
The master placed a shining hand on his forehead, and just for a moment, Li Xian looked up into the master's shining face, his outstretched, perfect hand, his golden Qi so much brighter.
"Bless and keep you, my disciple. When the standard falls, you will know what must be done. Do not hesitate."
Li Xian frowned. But the master was gone.
He could smell the incense, and he felt at peace – his mind comforted, languorous, as he was after he had a woman, but without the sense of shame or dirt.
He smiled. Took a deep breath.
