“I was heaven’s favored child. I formed my core in the womb, lay flat for three years and formed my Nascent Soul, then crossed the tribulation and ascended to the Upper Realm at ten. At twenty, I stood at the pinnacle of the Upper Realm and ascended again to this Luotian Immortal Domain. Another thirty years, and I became an Immortal Emperor. I was just one step away from crossing the tribulation and ascending once more, just one step away from the legendary True Immortal.”
“But that one step held me back for thirty million years. I watched one friend and junior after another ascend to the Upper Realm with a grin, while I was left alone in the Luotian Immortal Domain, drowning my sorrows. How bitter!”
“Then one year, disheartened, I traveled through the lower realms and heard someone say, ‘Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Never look down on a poor young man.’ I was instantly struck with awe. In the end, I personally witnessed that young man rise to prominence in less than a thousand years and successfully ascend to the Upper Realm.”
“After bidding that young man farewell, I was no longer disheartened, because I had found a great path to the heavens!”
“Hahahaha! Chosen ones of fortune in the lower realms, you’ve lost a brother, a master, and a father-in-law. I’m afraid you’ll lose your way, so I’m coming to mooch off your fortune… Ahem, I’m coming to give you a great opportunity!”
