Fang Yuan/Poems

## Chapter 1

Looking at the setting sun, Fang Yuan lightly laughed. “The sun sets above the blue mountain, the autumn moon with the wind of spring. The morning is fine like hair and night is like snow, whether you succeed or fail when you look back there’s nothing left.”

## Chapter 38

Fang Yuan sat at a seat by the window. A gust of wind blew, bringing with it a poetic atmosphere and the scent of flowers.

“The light rain from the sky is sleek and crisp, the color of grass is seen from afar but disappears when close.” Fang Yuan looked outside through a window and quoted a poem lightly before he turned his sights back to the inn.

## Chapter 123

“White snow blankets the land as I travel alone through heaven and
earth. Alone without any attachments, my solitary shadow travels
freely.”

He took a large step and continued traveling.

While others rushed, Fang Yuan walked alone.
Whether it was clansmen, snow or the village, they were merely a blurry background

## Chapter 128

1. Moon lights the frost-filled night, the dagger shines with a cold light.

If not for the harshness of the winter, how could we look forward to spring!

## Chapter 289

Shang clan city is merely a starting point, how can I fall here? In this life, I have to become a gu immortal, I have to breakthrough to rank seven, eight, and nine. I want to ascend to the peak, and see the view that I did not manage to in my previous life. Legend says that beyond rank nine, it is the supreme realm of immortality! It is easy to have a long life, but to be an immortal, no one has ever managed to do it.

The highest point for a lifeform is to reach immortality, their greatest desire is immortality. What is the point of wealth, it is merely a hoarding addiction. What men and women, it is just primal instincts. What reputation, it is just bullshit people spew about you, carrying the stench of depravity.

Wealth, beauty, reputation, status, people who pursue all these are short-sighted. Back on earth, there was no choice, as everyone was going to die eventually, thus they can only pursue these or life would be meaningless. But in this world, where primeval essence is rich, why would we not pursue immortality given the possibility?

For the sake of immortality, wealth, beauty, reputation, status, I can make use of all of them, and I can also discard them as easily! for immortality, fear cannot stop me, I will charge forward relentlessly! for immortality, laziness will not stop me, I will never slack even for a moment! for immortality, pain cannot stop me, gods and demons cannot stop me, even heaven and earth cannot stop me!

As he affirmed his belief, Fang Yuan's black eerie eyes seemed to burn with a scarlet red demonic blaze.

## Chapter 291

“Because hardships strengthen resolve, the strong-minded will not be lured by worldly affairs. Today I step on grass; later I shall step on mountains and rivers!”

From today, I will walk on the path of supremacy!
Sweep the earth and laugh at the world.

Tread the green mountains; step on the blue seas; bind the blue dragon; assault the sky!

Bath in difficulties and sharpen the demonic soul; lift the flag and sing in triumph; defy heaven, defy fate, defy the universe!

## Chapter 361

Death, such a sweet fragrance!

Kill, kill!

Let the flower of life bloom brightly in the blood.

## Chapter 399

Viewing thousands of mountains in deep crimson

Layers of trees dyed red

On the limpid blue water

Hundreds of barges race against currents

Hawks spread their wings in the vast sky

Fish swim freely under deep water

All living things vie for freedom under the autumn sky

Pondering over the immensity of the universe

I ask this boundless and misty earth

Who rules the fate of this world?"

If heavens had emotions it would grow old, the Great Dao is emotionless and impartial. Every living being has the chance to rise up, it depends on how one uses their opportunities, and how one fights!

In this world, no one is born to be a side character. And there is no one who is an eternal main character.

Living beings compete, the weak are eliminated.

Precisely because of the heroes competing in this world, facing off with their respective strengths and trump cards, can history be so immense and interesting, making the world such a mystical place.

## Chapter 405

Since ancient times land immortal pass with the wind, today three kings return to eternal slumber.

Who would not experience failure? Verdant Sun died regretfully. Start over again and proclaim oneself as King.

The carp swims up the heavenly waterfall, travelling alone in the desolate lands and defying heaven.

Spreading my wings and flying away today, becoming an immortal and whipping the phoenix on another day!

## Chapter 533

Fang Yuan's heart was calm, despite this intense battlefield that was filled with corpses and rivers of blood.

In his eyes, these casualties were just numbers.

In this battle, many people screamed at the deaths of their friends and family, many people shouted in joy after killing a strong foe, some Gu Masters ran away under the fear of death. Some Gu Masters were filled with ambition, wanting to be a person of higher status.

Human emotions became riled up in such moments of life and death, they were frenzied, crazy, while arrogant and unrestrained.

Observing the ruthless expressions of the people around, hearing their screaming and shouting, Fang Yuan felt a great sense of serenity and peace.

His heart was firm like an ancient abyss, there were no ripples on the surface.

Fight, kill, a person is born to engage in battle.

Win, lose, continue walking on your path, by stepping on other people's corpses.

Let blood boil, let sweat flow, the best moment of life is now…

## Chapter 542

White brain matter and blood spurted upon his whole body.

He took a deep breath, the intense odor of blood instead making him feel satisfied! Especially when he looked silently at this giant dragon corpse that he had conquered.

"Man, no matter which world they live in, all lives to conquer; conquer the enemy, conquer themselves…" Fang Yuan sighed with emotion.

## Chapter 553

In this world, strength was everything.

On Earth, one had to be mindful of rumors, it was easy to ruin a person's life with some malicious lies. But that was because they were all mortals, the laws of the world was different, individuals could not surpass the power of society.

But here, it was different.

That was one of the reasons why Fang Yuan loved this world.

## Chapter 618

Fate teases the turbulent sea, cowardly insects avoid waves and flow along the current. A brave man does not need much wisdom, there is not regret or pain even if his body crumbles.

## Chapter 1033

Ambitious mountains with steps firm as steel, taking large strides with unwavering determination. Taking risks to obtain the essence of the universe, my heart still seeks to rise beyond heaven.

## Chapter 1113

“Obstacles and difficulties fill this road, life and death matters
little against calamities and tribulations. My body flies like willows
with the wind, regardless of wind or mud I still fly free.”

## Chapter 1207

I have the sovereign immortal aperture and can annex other immortal
apertures, skipping calamities and tribulations to raise my cultivation and strength. This is a shortcut for cultivation, filled with slaughter and blood. But… I like it. I want chaos, the more chaos, the better!

## Chapter 1285

How difficult is the perseverance of one person?

All of the Gu Immortals here could answer that question.

Because
 among them, some persevered because of responsibility, some persevered because of hatred, some persevered because of excitement, and some persevered because of love…

And Fang Yuan's answer?

He was still expressionless, he continued to move forward relentlessly.

I had once screamed, gradually, I lost my voice.

I had once cried, gradually, I lost my tears.

I had once grieved, gradually, I became able to withstand everything.

I had once rejoiced, gradually, I became unmoved by the world.

And now!

All I have left is an expressionless face, my gaze is as tough as a monolith, only perseverance remains in my heart.

This is my own, an insignificant character, Fang Yuan's — Perseverance!

## Chapter 1319

"Oh great sea, you are made of water."

"Oh horse, you have four legs."

"Oh beauty, you have large eyes and a mouth!"

## Chapter 1673

The blue sea is laughing, the tidal waves are surging.

Drifting with the waves, only caring about today.

Heaven laughs, at this hectic mortal world.

Who will win, who will lose, only heaven knows.

 …

Human
 lives have ups and downs like the waves, sometimes high, sometimes low.
 Why do we have to be always concerned about victory or defeat?

The natural romanticism intoxicated the crowd.

 …

The rivers and mountains laugh, the misty rain is far away.

How many great men and heroes, have the tides washed away?

Smiling at the breeze wind, lost in quiet solitude.

Heroic feelings remain, reflected in the cold night.

 …

Bold
 and lofty, free and unrestrained, all kinds of 'aspirations' would be
washed away by the waves. Even life itself will perish. But what is the
big deal?

A noble man is not a slave to external matters, aloof from the world, forgetting gains and losses.

Destiny is fickle, so why uphold your disposition, throw away your mask and find your true self.

True self is unyielding, true self is lonely. Even if my life is the setting sun, I will live my own splendor.

 …

The blue sea is laughing, the tidal waves are surging.

Drifting with the waves, only caring about today.

Heaven laughs, at this hectic mortal world.

Who will win, who will lose, only heaven knows.

The rivers and mountains laugh, the misty rain is far away.

How many great men and heroes, have the tides washed away?

Common people laugh, there is no more loneliness.

Yet the unyielding spirit in me is still laughing crazily.

 …

I
 struggle to survive in the mortal world, I came to life and I joined
the world. I lived my own life, I lived according to my own feelings,
even if the waves toss me up and down, sending me to the border of
death, I will never grieve, lament, fear, or worry; I will savor these
flavor thoroughly, I will still laugh crazily until the end.

I am true to my nature.

I am a true person.

## Chapter 1976

“A moonlit night.”

“Deep into the night the moon shines on half a cottage, across the sky the Big Dipper lies, the Little Dipper tilts an incline.”

“The warmth of spring is readily felt tonight, through the green window screen, insects buzz and hum.”

## Chapter 1977

Date flowers fall on the villagers’ clothes,

The sound of reeling carts heard from every household,

Old men dressed in simple clothes sell cucumbers under the willow tree.

Feeling drunk and drowsy from the long journey,

The bright sun makes my throat dry, I thirst for a refreshing drink,

I knock on the door of a mortal house, hoping to request for some tea.

## Chapter 2120

**Poem 1**

Under the pine trees I ask of a disciple,

He replies, his master had gone to gather herbs.

Somewhere in the mountain he was for certain,

Within the dense clouds, his figure is hidden.

**Poem 2**

Over a thousand hills with no birds in flight,

The myriad paths had not one footprint in sight.

A straw hat man sits in a small lone boat,

Fishing alone in the cold frozen moat.

**Poem 3**

The sun beyond the mountain glows,

The Yellow River seawards flows.

One can enjoy a grander sight,

By climbing to a greater height.

## Chapter 2212

In my youth I knew the hardships of the world,

Yet I still aspired to soar above the clouds.

A journey of cold winds and uncertainty,

A lone traveler experiences a life of ups and downs.

A heart of steel forged from countless setbacks,

A lifetime of effort to forge one sword.

Today my sword aims beyond the clouds,

Refine Gu! Refine Human! Refine Heaven!!

in pain, with no support, in the abyss of aloneness, check your heart of loneliness for within is a gift is left.

how can a diamond be polished if it not be grinded first, how can a man be polished without trials and cold dark nights.

as you go on your path walking amongst the thorns of life, bleeding from your heart and feet trying to make it out of ordinary abyss, perhaps look at the trail left behind by that one person.

living in a crueler world, alone, always facing the cruelest odds, even cornered and near death never looking back, always trying his best even in despair.

facing the entire world, failing and dying repeatedly, he never regrets, always living true to himself.

even losing everything he does not fret, even when betrayed, he does not linger on it, even when crushed, he simply continues on his path.

screaming until losing his voice, crying until his tears run dry, grieving till nothing remained in his heart, all for a mirage that he not know it be real or not, all for the hope of touching the beyond.

standing on the ravaged debris of what he built his whole life, he merely sighs and rebuilds it again.

even his hope crushed, even walking alone on an endless path threatened to be swallowed by the bottomless abyss, he merely sighs and tries his best.

a heart of steel sharpened by countless setbacks, a perseverance as solid as a monolith and a hope to transcend the world and defy the impossible.
