Wei Ning's early years passed swiftly, his life filled with the warmth of his mother and the stern authority of his father, Wei Cheng. From the moment Wei Cheng first held him, he saw greatness in his son.
The patriarch of their branch of the Wei Clan, Wei Cheng, was a cultivator of the Ninth Layer of Mortal Dao, whose mastery of swordsmanship was unmatched in their region.
His reputation as a swordsman was legendary, whispered about in taverns and revered in the halls of power.
Yet, for all his strength, Wei Cheng's greatest pride lay in his son—a boy who carried the bloodline of the Wei Clan and the potential to surpass even his father's achievements.
By the time Wei Ning reached his eighth year, his father decided it was time to introduce him to the Dao of the Sword.
The morning sun cast a golden glow over the training courtyard as Wei Cheng called out to his son, his voice carrying a rare tenderness that only Wei Ning could evoke.
