Legend of The Young Master
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.

He wanted to check if getting back to Lujingbao fort was possible with the shortest path along the coast that he was planning.

He planned to avoid nearby towns and villages, thinking Gao sent him here because these areas might be susceptible to attack in the upcoming days. Wuyi comforted himself with the thought that the hot desert sun and cold desert night might have made any demonics or beasts weaker or driven them away. But as someone who practices cultivation, he knew that cold or heat wouldn't really affect beings powered by Qi, especially if they have forged their bodies already.
