I can still feel the weight of my mortal death—the blade piercing my heart, the betrayal in my master’s eyes. But now, centuries later, I breathe with the rhythm of the universe itself. Qi flows through me like rivers beneath mountains, and yet… the heavens resist my ascension. Every breakthrough brings divine tribulation. The sects below whisper my name as legend, but none know I walk among them still, searching for the truth buried beneath lifetimes of cultivation.
