Suddenly, I had the idea to write my own version of the Xianxia genre, without overpowered characters or powerful backers, striving to present a realistic world of cultivation as I envision it. Orphaned at a young age, he relied on his clan for support, only to witness the deaths of his people as he grew up. Neglected by his family and only wanting to live a carefree life, fate brought him his nemesis. Unsuitable for leadership, he now had to shoulder the honor and disgrace of his entire clan due to various circumstances. Wang Xuanyi turned back, taking one last, poignant look at the place where he had grown up, before leading his children and flying away into the distance without looking back… This book tells the story of a small Foundation Establishment clan that, through generations of effort, grows into an immortal clan… Completed at 2.6 Million words, welcome to read!

   This isn't exactly a story about a rogue cultivator, but the protagonist truly has no background. Although he belongs to a sect, his behavior is no different from that of a rogue cultivator. There are no mindless plot points; the logic is rigorous. The protagonist is an extremely self-serving person. This is not a mindless story! Not a mindless story! Not a mindless story! I'm saying it three times because it's important. If you're looking for a mindless, feel-good story, look elsewhere. If you don't read this carefully, you'll miss many foreshadowing elements. And while reading, don't skip ahead. A single word or sentence might be a key element that relates to subsequent plot developments. Also, the clues the protagonist plants will be explained later, perhaps in one chapter, two chapters, or many chapters. From what I've read so far, there are practically no major problems.
