Among the myriad heavens and worlds, countless people surpassed Ling Qing in skill, but not many had a greater background than his.
Most of those who did were also acquaintances.

These two were Natal treasures he had painstakingly refined, perfectly aligned with the Dao he cultivated.
The reason King Golden Dawn bore that title was not merely because his cave abode was called Mount Golden Dawn.
