Chapter 205: Chapter 203: Ascendant - Ying
The cultivation world was cruel. This simple five lettered sentence was the echoing sentiment of many who sought riches, power, pleasure, and strength. It placed heavy emphasis on the importance of too many random factors, and at times, it seemed as if heaven and earth were actively acting against you.
All it took was one wrong step, one wrong word, or one wrong thought and it could lead to a cascading waterfall of despair and agony. It was terrifying; it was cruel. Furthermore, cultivation in itself was difficult. There was innate talent, but that could only usher you so far. One also needed a quality environment, absolute protection, intelligent instructors, and rich resources to truly establish themselves. They needed a legacy to follow, to avoid tripping into the abyss of mediocrity.
How many were capable of being born with these things, while simultaneously receiving the tempering required to forge a sufficient heart of cultivation to challenge any obstacle?
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
KevinAscending
KevinAscending My thoughts: Oh boy. I know Ying will be a very, VERY controversial figure. What you're thinking about him, you're absolutely right! And it was fully intended.
He is the poster boy of misfortune, unintended evil. Even the tiny trace of hope he had was snuffed out by a random nobody, simply because it could. It was somewhat hard to do this backstory, to design such a character, but I wanted to. No, I needed to.
Why? Because this is the hidden, yet not to hidden truth, of this world. It is cruel, and those in the background are often forgotten, especially if they're the arrogant side characters who are taught a lesson.
I'll go into more of his story in the future, so you all can get a complete picture of Ying. ^_^ Also, his birth name isn't Ying.
<3 You all, thanks for the support!
