"I was born in a small mountain village within the County of Tian Nan, in the Inner Domain. Without any martial arts cultivation techniques, I never even came into contact with martial arts. My parents had passed away early, leaving me alone and destitute, struggling to get by."

"Until the age of eight, when a sister, angelic in appearance and badly wounded, was chased to our village. I hid her in the cellar.
"I erased the traces she left behind and deceived those who pursued her..."
Wu Tianan recounted his childhood slowly.
