The Blasphemous Way

Beyond life and death. Beyond heaven and earth. Beyond suffering itself — lies the only truth worth seeking.” On the day the heavens bled, Li Qiong stood alone against the world. Surrounded by thousands of immortals — righteous sects, divine patriarchs, sword saints — he stood atop Blackpine Sky Ridge, bloodied yet unbowed. His cultivation was in shambles. His body was broken. His soul burned away like a candle. And yet… he laughed. For he had already seen through it all. Li Qiong was no villain, no hero, no martyr. He was a seeker. A sage. A man who had walked farther than any other on the endless path — and glimpsed a truth so vast, so profound, that even the heavens themselves feared it. While others cultivated for power, for status, for petty notions of righteousness or vengeance… Li Qiong pursued one thing, and one thing only: True immortality. The door beyond. The answer to life, to death, to suffering itself. For centuries he endured in silence. Patient. Persistent. He bled, and knelt, and climbed — each step closer to the ultimate truth. Until the day came when even heaven itself tried to stop him. And he smiled, because he understood: To sever heaven is not to rebel. It is to to be free. But his story did not end with his fall. When the heavens burned and his body turned to ash, his eyes opened once more — in the body of his younger self, before it all began. Armed with the wisdom of countless lifetimes and the unyielding Will of a sage, he takes the path again — this time not merely to climb beyond heaven… but to tear open the final door, and step through. Even the heavens cannot shackle one who has already broken free.

MARRIAGE FOR SAKE

"How can you smile like that when neither of your fathers are here at your own wedding reception?" Pond asked, eyeing Dunk, who stood in the gallery, smiling towards his newly-wedded husband. Dunk's smile didn't waver, but his eyes darkened. He turned to Pond, voice sharp, "Do you think I don't care? That I'd go against them on purpose?" Pond responded without hesitation, "Aren't you doing exactly that?" "No, I'm not," Dunk snapped. His voice dropped lower, colder. "I'm standing here for my pride-the same pride he crushed. I'm not a child who goes crying to his parents. He destroyed me, P'Pond. Now it's my turn. I'm going to destroy his life-completely." Pond looked shaken. "You can't marry someone for revenge, Dunk. I told you-I'm here for you. I'll never let anyone from the Guthithanan family hurt you again." Dunk's voice cracked as he exploded, "But he crossed the line that night!" He scanned the room and quickly pulled Pond into a quieter corner. His voice was low and furious. "He shattered everything I had. And now, with this marriage, I'm going to make him live with the consequences. He's trapped with me now-forever. I won't let him walk away so easily." His gaze flicked across the room-directly to Joong, who stood beside Sarawat, calmly speaking to a business partner. Joong caught Dunk's stare and instinctively looked his way. Dunk raised his champagne glass with a mocking smile. A toast to war. Joong clenched his jaw, returning the gesture coolly-but his burning eyes slid to Pond, full of rage and warning.
