The Whispers of the Jade Tempest

_Aki
In the heart of the ancient, cursed Mountains of Dying Echoes, where forgotten histories and restless spirits entwine with the fury of nature, a young swordsman named Li Shen embarks on a journey of self-discovery and survival. Born in the shadow of his legendary father, a renowned warrior who disappeared under mysterious circumstances, Li Shen is determined to carve his own path and seek the truth behind his father's vanishing. His quest leads him to the long-forgotten ruins of a temple, hidden deep within the mountains, where the wind itself seems to whisper secrets of a long-forgotten power. The temple, said to hold an artifact of unimaginable power—the Whispering Blade—calls to all those who seek to wield it, but it is no simple weapon. It is a cursed sword, bound to the storm that ravages the land, capable of granting power but at the cost of the wielder’s soul. It is said that those who seek the blade are drawn into the mountain’s wrath and forever bound to its torment. As Li Shen explores the ancient ruins and battles the ghostly forces that haunt the land, he is confronted with visions of the past—warriors who were once like him, drawn to the blade and consumed by its curse. But Li Shen is no ordinary warrior. He is determined to survive the trials of the mountains and uncover the truth about his father's disappearance, even if it means confronting the very storm that has claimed so many before him. Along the way, Li Shen must face the darkness that lingers within the temple and within himself. He is tested by a guardian, a former swordsman who fell victim to the blade’s curse, and is forced to confront the choices he must make as he grows closer to the blade. The storm rages within the mountains, growing ever fiercer as Li Shen’s resolve is tested in ways he never imagined. With every step, the echoes of the past grow louder, threatening to drown him in their madness. Whispers of the Storm is a tale of power, temptation, and the cost of ambition. It explores the struggle between one’s destiny and free will, the burdens of legacy, and the timeless battle between the forces of light and darkness. As Li Shen delves deeper into the heart of the mountains, he must choose whether to succumb to the sword’s call or find a way to destroy its power, breaking the cycle of destruction that has plagued the land for centuries. With each battle, each revelation, Li Shen must decide whether he will become the storm or whether he will rise above it, reclaiming his father’s legacy, and perhaps, his own.

My Simulated Road to Immortality

The Immortal Way, how arduous it is! Especially in this Immortal Cultivation World, which has been drastically changed by a plague! Mortals carry the disease, and when Immortals come into contact with them, they are liable to suffer a decrease in their cultivation, and in the worst case, end up Returning to the heavens. This has made Mortals and Immortals eternally separate entities. The Immortal Law cannot be jointly cultivated, turning the entire Immortal Cultivation World into a vast dark forest. ...... Li Fan, having travelled through time, despite having boundless ambitions, can only toil within the mortal dust, wasting away his whole life. Fortunately, just before death, he finally awakens an odd treasure which can turn the real into the fake - transforming his real life into a vivid dream, enabling him to return to the time right after he travelled through time. Therefore, Li Fan began his long Road to Immortality!
