302 Give the world a little shock

The sun and the moon took their turns, and it was the middle of August again.

It was another evening.

A young man with two swords on his back stood on the abandoned rooftop of a residential building near the Wu Lie River, his hands propping himself up against the stone railing as he gazed into the roaring Wu Lie River.

Why then?

Why wouldn't the gate to the River Realm open for him?
