Fellow Daoists...
It is with a most heavy heart that I inscribe this forlorn letter, sending it far and wide across the great plain:
To my fellow ancestors of the Divine Heaven Sect who are also in seclusion,
To the esteemed elders of the Heaven Shattering Azure Turtle Archipelago,
To the ancient crouching tigers of the Myriad Miles and Rivers Mountain Range,
Please... heed this old fool's shameless request:
Aid my Divine Heaven Sect in this most perilous time.
..........
Recently, The Demonic Underworld Sect waged war with my Divine Heaven Sect, sending its young master to leave a most grave review on my scriptures. A perilous one-star, at that.

You see, I'm not so young as I used to be when I was a child. In those days, not a junior could be seen below Nascent Soul Stage, and thousands of jadeskin beauties traversed the Divine Heaven Sect's pavilions like stars dotted the sky. Oh what a bountiful time it was.
Yet, while the heavens and the earth stay the same, the times do not. Everything is not what it used to be...
As sure as the heavens and earth are without end, all other things fall apart.
Despite all my meditation and pondering, these old bones have done nought but wither and decay. Surely, I will soon rest within the earth, rotting beneath the soil of my seclusion chamber, becoming one with the unending Dao.
But though my time draws near, the heavens have poured out their revelations upon me. Though I had almost given up hope for my sect, they inscribed one final deed for which these old bones might toil... Write to you, my fellow Daoists, for your aid.
Please, leave your seclusion and come to the aid of my sect. Leave bountiful five-star ratings and reviews on my scriptures. Make the Demonic Underworld Sect kowtow 400 times and call us their grandfathers once more.
Though our days of jadeskin beauties have passed, I see somewhere far into the Dao a bright future for the next generation. May the unending Dao be with them.
