Chapter 909 Peerless Master

• The northern border is barren—blizzards tightening, mountains sharp as knives. Even apex predators like tigers and black bears, kings of the food chain, shy away from this brutal land. In the face of nature, any animal’s strength feels small.
• Yet there’s a kind of person who shuns comfort and glitter, who craves hardship. They leave footprints where storms scream, cliffs drop sheer, and deserts run dry for three thousand miles. People like that are ascetics.
• They use the world’s harshness to temper will, harden sinew and mind, chasing the path to enlightenment.
