Most Conceited War God by Ling YuanHanMo Pdf

It was said that there was a stream of sword Qi in the myriad realms of heaven and earth, which could be condensed into the most tyrannical sharp sword. As long as a person completely possessed of this sword, they would be able to sweep across the world, ignore the limitations of any realm, and become the strongest and most arrogant person in the world. The youth, Ling Jian, encountered a natural disaster during the Shaolin trial in his previous life. His soul transmigrated to another world and accidentally encountered this sword energy. He desired to step onto the peak of all worlds! I have one pupil that can accommodate all living things, but Na Baichuan can control all swords. If you give me a sword, I can break through the firmament. I can suppress all lands, and I can control the heavens. If you give me a single blade, I can bury the Heavens and the Earth, I can cut down outstanding individuals, and I can break through ten thousand worlds. If you shoot me, you can point to heaven, you can pass through hell, and you can stir up the winds and clouds. Close]

Father by Kong Hoo See Pdf

It does not matter if you love your father or if your father loves you, this book for you. A moving true story packed with deep emotions of an adult child for his late father. It speaks so intimately and so powerfully that it may change how you feel about your father. Not only does it speak with the author's regretful inner voice to communicate with his late father; it also opens the author's eyes to witness his late father spiritual love. It speaks about love, faith, perseverance, determination, and courage in life, and how the reflection on his late father has healed and guided him back onto the path to continue living a meaningful life, when he was at the edge of giving up the faith, courage, and trust he has in himself and people, and things around him after the unpredictable layoff from his employment during the world economic turmoil. This book has also included some inspirational ancient Chinese totems, symbols, poems and idioms, as well as a series of historical photos and illustrations on the events in this true story.
