Hongmeng the Great

In his previous life, he was the once-in-ten-thousand-years prodigy of the Cangqiong Immortal Sect. He established his foundation at fifteen, formed his golden core at twenty, and became a Nascent Soul cultivator at thirty. Unrivaled among his peers, he single-handedly supported the declining sect, guarding secret realms, slaying vicious beasts, and securing resources. Everyone in the sect saw him as its future pillar. Loyal and devoted, he remembered the sect's kindness in raising him and his master's efforts in training him, and willingly kept his brilliance hidden as he quietly protected the sect.

To save his junior sister from a deadly chill poison, he willingly gave up all his cultivation and shattered his dantian and spiritual sea, falling from a Nascent Soul powerhouse to a cripple incapable of cultivation. But instead of gratitude, he received slander, suspicion, expulsion, and the cold contempt of everyone around him. At the brink of despair, he awakened the Hongmeng Dao Body, sealed away for ages, the greatest divine physique of antiquity. His ruined body shed its mortal shell, and he was reborn against the heavens. He swept through the myriad heavens and ascended to become an Eternal Great Emperor, leaving all who betrayed, humiliated, or abandoned him to regret it for the rest of their lives, forever gazing up at someone they could never reach.
