Holding Rain

As a successful villainous BOSS, in addition to having ideas and aspirations, one must also keep in mind three points:
First, grow sneakily, don't act rashly (once a villain acts rashly, they basically won't survive past three chapters).
Second, you're not a good person, so be ruthless (becoming more evil will make you three times stronger, while redemption weakens you by seven times).
Third, remember the two points above. The moment you forget them, your end is probably on its way.

The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS

Sky Melting Mountain, an active volcano.


Yet, it was unlike any ordinary active volcano, or else Gongye Baiduan would not have chosen it to be his place of reclusion. As a generation's Sword Casting Master, even when selecting a place to live in seclusion, he sought a location beneficial to forging.


Sky Melting Mountain had once been struck by a meteorite from beyond the heavens.


If it had occurred in Qing Yu's previous life, it would have been nothing extraordinary, at most becoming a momentary marvel. However, in this Martial Arts World, under the influence of some unknown factors, the mountain underwent a wondrous change.


Using the terms of this world, it meant that the heavenly fire and earthly fire collided and merged, making it a geomantically treasured place for weapon forging.
