PREFACE
The world is like a board, its people are the pieces. Everything has began before you know it, and not even the king is free.
THE SELECTION OF FATE
This tale is not told as a chronicle of a single person. It is written in the witness style- so that you may feel the whole Era with your own senses.
See through your own eyes.
Here through your own silence.
Every clash, every oath, every tear and every word is like a seed of what is to come.
You are like the board where every moves are gone through and nothing upon you is without weight.
Do not rush.
Some truths lie in the plain sight, others in whispers. Those who read with patience will see far more than those who chase only the battles.
CULTIVATION IN THIS VOLUME
The path of cultivation is vast, but in this first volume you will see only its early thresholds:
* Body and Spirit Tempering- the more gets strengthened and spiritual body steadied.
* Meridian Awakening- major and minor meridian channels open and breakthrough.
* Stages of Cultivation- body refining and spiritual cultivations. Each stage has five tiers.
In this world, cultivation is not measured by years alone. A single life and death trials or special elements and medicinal plants or pills and enlightenments can leap a person forward- not only in strength, but in age too. One day in this realm is equal to a thousand years. So, even an infant can stand, walk or run after few months like adults- depending on cultivation, bloodline and enlightenment.
Beyond these, the higher realms remain veiled... for now.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
Birthmarks are blessings or curse depending on the person who crowns it.
Staffs and Swords are not mere weapons, but witness of worth and personality.
Silence is never empty, when words vanish, power has already spoken.
Emotions are not weakness-they are the sparks that ignite destiny.
Read as a witness and you may see what others miss.
Repetition of certain words and emotions are deliberately placed to bring clarity to witnesses and it weighs deep in your heart.
