Decennial Storm
While everyone was busy, Hana was relaxing in one of the hot springs, reading a book. It was a man who one day decided to leave his wife and family behind to go on a century-long adventure, or what he deemed as a 'Death March'. As a mortal man who lived off of nothing but Frostworm Silk, jumping from village to village, place to place simply to survive, he was tired of being at the whims of the powerful.
So, he chose to spend 100 years wandering. Either he'd become powerful enough to hold his head up high, or he'd die trying.
The story showed his early struggles and how many times he almost died from trivial things. The man knew next to nothing about cultivation. He could barely qualify as someone in the Body Tempering Realm before he left.
