Legend of the Immortal Sect

On the edge of the continent lay a quiet, peaceful village called Qingshi Village. Surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, most of its residents made their living through farming and hunting, leading simple yet fulfilling lives. In this village lived a boy named Ye Chen. Tall and slender, with handsome features, his eyes held a spark of liveliness and resolve. Ye Chen came from an ordinary family. His parents were humble farmers, but they gave him endless love and guidance. From a young age, Ye Chen showed unusual intelligence and curiosity. He longed to see the world beyond the village, and often climbed the hill behind it in his spare time to gaze into the distance, imagining the mysteries that lay unknown. Unlike the other children, Ye Chen wasn't content simply playing in the fields and helping with simple farm chores. He loved reading the ancient books he borrowed from the village elders. Most were incomplete fragments, but he would lose himself in them, as if searching between the lines for another vast world. One sunny morning, Ye Chen was helping his father work in the fields as usual. Sweat soaked through his clothes, but there wasn't a trace of complaint in his eyes. Instead, they brimmed with energy.
