When Zuo Lingquan was born, he possessed everything that an mortal could wish for. Scion of a prestigious house, handsome features, and unimaginable wealth...... But when he began to learn how to walk, he discovered that this world wasn't one that belonged to mortals.

Monsters, demons, and other supernatural entities roamed the lands and ones who could govern the winds and pursued longevity existed......

Unsurprisingly, Zuo Lingquan stepped foot onto the road of pursuing longevity. An expert once said: The Nine Regions are filled with luxuriant growth and desolation. The grand void has no traces, one must devote oneself to cultivating one Dao and move along it as if without light on a moonless night, crossing a torrent without a bridge to stand on.

Caution is to be followed. As cultivators, we should plan before we act and everything done should be 'from the heart'. Zuo Lingquan kept these instructions in mind and thus, everything he did onwards was in line with his intentions(read as heart), doing whatever he pleased......

Expert: "Wait wait wait, it's 'from the heart', not 'from your intentions', you're not supposed to kill whoever you wish to kill! How can a baby like you listen but not understand?!"

The world is like chess while the people are the pieces.

Mutual deception within the Imperial Court, the affections and hatreds in JiangHu, the four emotions of the common people, these are all nothing more than pawns used to establish ties and relationships on the chessboard, merely pieces used to burst out with a speck of flame.

In the period of Zhao Hong, it is widely rumored on the streets that a Vassal State King is lying in wait for an opportunity to seize the Imperial Throne within the Golden Palace.

In response, the Emperor summoned every Vassal State King's noble heir to study in the Imperial Capital, but the true motive is to hold them captive.

Xu Buling, as King Su's noble heir, went to the Imperial Capital and should have cautiously been in line with the phrase 'avoiding doing something that one is clumsy at to save face'.

The result......

The masses: "Noble heir Xu has both integrity and talent, he truly embodies the phrase 'Never boasting aloud, amazing the world with a single brilliant feat'.

Xu Buling: "That's not what I was doing, don't talk nonsense."

The masses: "Noble heir Xu is a wise man, he has the talent to pacify an entire country."

Xu Buling: "I don't have such talent, shut up!"

The masses: "Noble heir Xu is both talented in literature and military strategy, thus is a man who can rule the world as a minister, the greatest in these troubled times......"

Xu Buling: "You sons of bit-......"
