Today's first update: Chapter 3341! 1/4!
The Tao Te Ching said: "Blunt its sharpness, unravel its tangles, soften its light, merge with its dust—this is called Profound Unity!"
Zheng meant fierce-faced and vicious. With the dog radical, it broadly referred to beasts and was a legendary exotic creature. The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Western Mountains Classic recorded: "[On Mount Zhang'e] there was a beast shaped like a Red Leopard, with five tails and one horn.

Every inch of its body seemed to have been tempered a thousand times
