Step by step from amidst the mire of the mortal world, struggling to leave, step by step to exit the unseeable depths of the sordid, deep well.

When he opened his great mouth towards the thoughts of nipping the swan, recklessly taking the firmament and swallowing it down in one bite!

This is exactly Chu Tian’s determined, most simple and firm principle.  

This principle is greater than heaven!
