Young immortal
In a world of immortal cultivation and demonic strife, Ling Han's life was marked by tragedy from the start. His parents mysteriously vanished when he was a child, and his village was massacred soon after. Barely surviving, he was taken in by an elder of the Qingzhu Immortal Sect, but Ling Han's weak spiritual root made him a laughingstock. Mocked by his fellow disciples and even looked down upon by his master, he endured endless humiliation. One fateful day, Ling Han returned to the ruins of his childhood home and discovered a small jar he had long forgotten. The jar, infused with a hidden power, resonated with the world's spiritual energy and unlocked his dormant potential. His weak spiritual root was transformed, and with the jar's guidance, Ling Han began mastering a mysterious cultivation method that rapidly increased his strength. As his abilities grew, those who had once scorned him began to take notice, but it was too late. Ling Han's rise was unstoppable. However, unlike many power-hungry cultivators, Ling Han held onto his principles. Instead of seeking ruthless vengeance, he pursued justice and balance, proving that a true cultivator should embody more than just raw power. With unwavering will and compassion, Ling Han forged his way to the pinnacle of cultivation, guided by the jar's ancient secrets. Those who wronged him were dealt with, but always in accordance with his belief in fairness, standing as a symbol of what a true immortal should be.Complete
THE WHEEL OF DESTINY
A soft exhale escaped through the Heavenly Emperor's lips, helplessly staring into the endless void, whising the universe would, in it's infinite apathy, allow him to return into it's cold embrace, never to see the sunlight again. After the blink of an eye, he said, so softly it may as well have been an illusion: -Why did it have to be like this... Why did you have to be like this? The immortal didn't answer. He simply knelt, his head bowing to the ground in silent submission. -I have loved a man more than duty. Yet I do not carry the shame of regret. Forgive me, my Lord, for I have sinned. Between heaven and earth, mortals and immortals coexist in a delicate balance. But when the actions of the past become entangled, destiny becomes a labyrinth with no exit. Zhao Wei, a young man marked by tragedy, is forced to confront his past and uncover the truth about the disappearance of his parents and the subsequent death of his brother in the shuiyue sect's fire by the arrival of Yuan Zhi, a mysterious young man who seems to be more than he reveals. Together, they must navigate a world of secrets and lies to uncover the truth about their past and their shared destiny.
