The ugly child stopped.

What was a celestial calling?

What was the higher path?

The child did not understand. Neither did the Orion ghost. But neither of them had the power to refuse.

The Orion ghost could do nothing. He could not even speak.

He could only watch as the ugly child endured endless ridicule inside the Jade Hollow Sect. Every spiritual cultivator there seemed blessed with ethereal beauty, while the ugly child stood out for all the wrong

reasons.

Of the thousand children gathered by Grand Elder Helius Voidcrest, he was the most conspicuous.

The mockery did not bother him.

He had already endured it countless times.

The Hall of Lost Souls held eighteen kinds of torture instruments and seventy-two forms of torment.

order. Exceptional talent was hardly rare, and the struggle for resources was bloodier than any battlefield.

Voidcrest was nearing the end of his life. He intended to overturn fate and seize a new one for himself.

Over the years, he had gathered thousands upon thousands of children.

They were mortals with clear minds, perfect memories, and extraordinary comprehension…

Only a child who survived all eighteen levels of hell and endured seventy-two tortures could form the beginnings of an ascendant vessel.

If Voidcrest possessed that body the instant the vessel formed, he could become young again.

Then, by nurturing it with his secret method, he would gain a flawless transcendent body, natural affinity with mystic laws, and the favor of fortune itself.

He had experimented for centuries before producing Julian.

But the possession failed.

Because Julian wanted to live.

Even with the ascendant vessel shattered and his path to transcendence severed, Julian still chose life.

Heaven wanted him alive.

He had asked.

He had asked so many times.

Guided by one swaying leaf after another, Julian stole Voidcrest’s spatial ring and escaped the Jade Hollow

Sect.

The old monster had been terrified that someone would discover what he truly was.

That was why he had hidden the Hall of Lost Souls in a secreation. Now, no one stood in the independent cultivator’s path to freedom.

Golden motes surrounded the Orion ghost like starlight.

They seemed to urge him onward.

Hurry.

Catch up to Julian

One year. Two years. A hundred years. A thousand….

The Orion ghost followed Julian through them all. He watched the independent cultivator escape the Jade Hollow Sect, evade wave after wave of pursuit, and enter the vast world of spiritual cultivation
