Mounted on the back of a blood-red lion, Danwu, the mighty warrior, roared with fury as he brandished his whip, lashing out at the panicked crowd on either side. His brazen arrogance knew no bounds, as if these ordinary people were mere pigs and dogs to be slaughtered at his whim.
Under the scorching sun, he rode through the streets, a towering figure of menace, followed closely by a carriage, its dust-choked path a testament to his formidable presence. Gripping his blade tightly, his eyes, once filled with sorrow and despair, now burned with a fierce determination.
Approaching the edge of the abyss, the biting wind tangled his hair, while the darkness of the abyss clouded his vision.
Amidst the howling wind and shimmering stars, the world remained as desolate as ever. Once, no one had come to his aid; now, in his newfound strength, he found himself unwilling to accept help, knowing that much of the offered assistance had been deceitful.
With bare feet and a bell tied around her waist, she appeared ethereal and otherworldly. Her features were as delicate as a painting, her long sword as cold and agile as a serpent. Beneath her tangled hair lay a face that, despite its youthful remnants, exuded determination and grace.
Despite her aloof demeanor, her mesmerizing eyes were irresistibly captivating. The onlookers couldn't tear their gaze away, their eyes filled with awe and admiration.
For those disciples who advanced quickly in their training, rewards awaited, while those who lagged behind faced punishment.
Verily, in the pursuit of mastery in the noble art of swordsmanship, Danwu, the valiant warrior, did venture forth into the abyss of temporal rifts. Through the arcane manipulation of cosmic energies, he traversed the boundaries of existence, emerging unto a realm anew.

In this uncharted domain, where the laws of nature held sway in unfamiliar guise, Danwu, with resolute determination, sought to hone his skills amidst the shifting sands of time. Through the crucible of trials and tribulations, he delved deep into the esoteric mysteries of combat, unraveling the enigmatic secrets that lay hidden within the fabric of reality.

With each graceful stroke of his blade, Danwu forged a path towards enlightenment, transcending the limitations of mortal flesh and ascending to the realm of the divine. In the crucible of the timeless void, he tempered his spirit and honed his craft, emerging as a paragon of martial prowess, a beacon of hope amidst the chaos of the cosmos.
Lo and behold, Danwu came to the realization that he had traversed back into a previous existence.

In this former life, he was none other than Shen Hua.
Harken, thou insolent knave, who dared to challenge the might of Shen Hua!
39Please respect copyright.PENANAjHaRoixa93
Yet Shen Hua, in silence, withdrew the blade known as Qing Shadow from the man's form, and a deluge of crimson vitality gushed forth with each motion.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAeboKzk8OJx
This short blade, a foundation artifact named Qing Shadow, hath faithfully served Shen Hua for many a year.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAmBYo0rF1yH
"The tenth foundation," Shen Hua uttered indifferently, as if it were but a trivial matter.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtr2pLjuBeP
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
39Please respect copyright.PENANATtuTVmoFWy
Each drop of darkened blood, tainted by the touch of death, fell from Shen Hua's frame.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAvQVc0oulDY
Indeed, Shen Hua bore grievous wounds, severe beyond measure.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAHm5QRnyHDr
The wound upon his abdomen refused to mend, his left hand shrouded in an ominous aura, now fallen into irreversible decay.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7NrZf3Sc2E
His organs, assaulted by countless injuries, sporadically spewed forth torrents of blood.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAwcYRAyMQzO
His body teetered upon the brink of collapse.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAcPkbvnvTA9
Even the mana within his dantian had run dry.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA5xScMfdk12
Such dire straits could aptly be termed as the nadir of despair. The Shen Clan of Qianhua Mountain, a prominent lineage of foundation cultivators, boasted a legion of hundreds, with a foundational patriarch presiding over all. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, they reigned supreme.
39Please respect copyright.PENANADxWsjq3vWz
And Shen Hua, he was born unto this esteemed Shen Clan of Qianhua Mountain.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAc7RalrWBkO
Unlike some protagonists, destined for a pitiable existence, subject to scorn and betrayal, Shen Hua did not suffer such trials. Nor did he endure the trials of an orphan, downtrodden and scorned by his kin, only to rise and carve out a path of greatness.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA0pvUbUmwhn
He was the eldest son of the Shen Clan, born into privilege and luxury, nurtured under the careful watch of his kin.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA0uOvpmUuXM
His aptitude for cultivation was commendable.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAVCyX2L8rNd
During his talent assessment, Shen Hua was identified as possessing a superior wind spirit root, destined for foundation establishment, with the promise of attaining the Golden Core.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAeso7X9g2hk
He seemed, to all intents and purposes, an ordinary genius.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAyr1Ko39MZ2
His journey was smooth and uneventful, leading Shen Hua to question, am I truly a traveler from another realm?
39Please respect copyright.PENANAgmCBw30ibK
Under the patronage and protection of the Shen Clan, Shen Hua ascended to the foundational realm within sixty years, becoming the second pillar of the Shen Clan.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAu5Xxn39gnw
Upon the demise of the clan's patriarch, Shen Hua ascended to the position of the new patriarch of the Shen Clan.
