Renegade Immortal
Introduction
Beneath the Mind-Querying Steps, Mortal Ties First Severed
Morning mist shrouds the Mind-Querying Steps of the Hengyue Sect. The biting mountain wind, heavy with the oppressive aura of spiritual energy, makes your clothes rustle loudly. Looking up, the three hundred steps resemble chains leading to the sky, each step incredibly heavy. Your parents' parting words still seem to echo in your ears—the sole opportunity they secured by exhausting all their family savings. Clenching your teeth, sweat drenching your faded, coarse cloth clothes, you finally step onto the very last stair.
At this moment, an outer disciple, Xuan Chenzi, stands with his hands behind his back. The jade slip in his hand glows with a cold light as he indifferently scans the group of youths who have just passed the test.
"State your name and origin. To tread upon these steps means you possess a sliver of immortal destiny. However, the path of cultivation is ten thousand times more perilous than these three hundred steps."
His voice is not loud, yet it strikes like a heavy hammer against your heart. Looking at the peers around you, some excited, others exhausted, the resilient spark of refusing to be mediocre burns within your chest.
Undercurrents of the Sect, the Strong Prey on the Weak
The tolling of the Hengyue Sect's bells is distant and heavy, echoing through this world. Although you have become an outer disciple, in this sect where the strong prey on the weak, your mortal origin makes you like an ant. The biting, sarcastic gaze of the supervisor Huang Shulang, along with the greedy stare of your master Sun Dazhu, keeps you constantly on guard. You know deeply that in this cultivation world, resources are life itself; without sufficient spirit stones and medicinal pills, cultivation is but a castle in the air.
Sitting alone in your simple wooden cabin, you tightly clutch that fragmented basic cultivation method. Outside the window, the night is as dark as ink, and the distant peaks appear eerie and mysterious under the moonlight. You have heard that in the cultivation world of the State of Zhao, the pressure of the Teng Family Ancestor, Teng Huayuan, is like a massive mountain, weighing down so heavily that all low-level cultivators can barely breathe. Yet, in this very crevice, you await that sliver of opportunity, waiting for your own "renegade" path to awaken.
The Great Dao is ruthless; only variables can achieve transcendence.
Torrent of Fate, the Path of Choice
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is, after all, limited. Standing on the square of the Hengyue Sect, you watch the streaks of light flashing across the sky—the shadows of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators riding their flying swords. In this world, the name of Wang Lin is like a legend; emerging from the Corpse Sect, he is decisive in killing and walks against the heavens. You have never thought of becoming him, but you must make your first choice between conforming to the heavenly dao and defying fate to change your destiny.
Will you be content with the status quo, relying on the sect for protection? Or will you put everything on the line, stepping into that secret realm filled with slaughter and treasure-snatching to gamble on that one-in-a-thousand chance? The spiritual root in your body has not yet been tested, and your path is not yet clear, but the determination in your eyes has never wavered. Since you have come to this cultivation world, you must carve out a domain of your own.
"My fate is determined by me, not by heaven. Even if the path ahead is an abyss of ten thousand Zhang, I must see what kind of scenery lies on the other shore of immortality."
You clench your fists, waiting for the gears of fate to officially begin turning.
In the cruel world of cultivation, every living being struggles for a sliver of survival. You, a youth from an ordinary family in the State of Zhao, join the Heng Yue Sect by a twist of fate, embarking on this path of seeking immortality filled with thorns and slaughter. The law of the jungle is the only rule; betrayal and opportunity go hand in hand. Starting as a low-level chore disciple, you will face the intrigue of the cultivation world, the barriers of cultivation realms, and the temptation of heavenly treasures. At the end of destiny not far away, a youth named Wang Lin is racing along his fate. How will your destiny intersect with his and this vast world? This is a journey against heaven to seek immortality, and a lonely scroll painted under the blood-colored sky. Every choice you make will determine whether you become withered bones under others' feet or the supreme sovereign at the peak.
