Righteous Radiance, Yuchen Thaws (Part 1)

Righteous Radiance Severance.

One of White Deer Grotto's Thirteen Ultimate Arts, the martial aura around Yuchen's body circulated, transforming into a chain of light between his palms.

Yuchen swept a contemptuous gaze over those before him. He rarely fought cultivators in ordinary times, yet back in White Deer Grotto and later while roaming the world, he had suffered almost no defeats.

"You were not born with a saintly body. Forcing this art upon a human body has already left you with accumulated maladies beyond remedy."

"Do you feel your soul grow restless every midnight? Unable to sleep, do you sometimes drift into a daze and no longer know who you truly are? Before noon arrives, does drowsiness overwhelm you, leaving your thoughts unable to clear?
