Hi everyone. This one is a blast from the past!

  I wrote this story in 2016, prior to ever publishing, much less becoming a professional. It's a little dated and definitely shows its warts (to me), but I think some folks might still enjoy it. Also, more importantly, I'd like to keep a record of this story on this site.

  You see, I won an award! Royal Road partnered with Wuxiaworld for a fan fiction contest based on ISSTH (I Shall Seal the Heavens). Wing and Kana were both active posting ads around the site for the competition. I think this was also the first time that Deathblade and I had bumped into each other. Of course, now he's a peer a respect quite a bit.

  I still have the badge/award on this site on my profile for winning. Even though it wasn't first, I even made some money! At the time, other than Patreon, this was the only money I'd ever made as a writer. The memory is still special to me.

  If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

  So... few more disclaimers:

  -This story is 8 years old (holy crap!)

  -At the time, I was trying to emulate the ISSTH Wuxia writing, not writing in my own style. As a result, grammar and flow are not perfect. They weren't meant to be.

  -If you have not read ISSTH, this story might not make total sense

  -If you've read any Xianxia at all, this story will make enough sense to follow along

  I don't expect many people to read this, but again, I wanted to put it up as a piece of history, and also as another point of lol when some random person on the internet says I don't know anything about Xianxia.

  ...lol
