Chương 1: Chapter 1 Home

"Where am I?" An alarmed voice shattered the tranquil air, reverberating through the unknown surroundings.

The speaker's gaze swept across an otherworldly scene that defied easy description.

Intricate symbols adorned the space, swirling and dancing with an ethereal grace, weaving a tapestry of mystique within what appeared to be a colossal room.

As the unfamiliar environment enveloped him, a surge of potent energy coursed through his being, awakening dormant echoes and unfurling memories that felt alien, yet oddly familiar.

In a single breath, a torrent of sensations cascaded through his consciousness, inundating him with a deluge of experiences not his own.

Eras, epochs, and eons flashed by in an instant, an overwhelming tide of knowledge crashing against the shores of his mind.

The weight of ages settled upon his shoulders, each memory, each moment, etching itself into his very essence like intricate tattoos upon the canvas of his soul.

And then, with a jolt, realization struck like lightning amidst the storm within him.

"F*ck me! I've been reincarnated as an Overpowered Sect Master of an Evil Sect?!" The freshly transmigrated individual bellowed in disbelief, the tumultuous revelation shaking him to his core.

The reality of his transformation was unfathomable, shattering any semblance of normalcy he once knew.

His last recollection was of a serene departure from the mortal coil, succumbing to the embrace of old age after a lifetime lived to the fullest.

Brief, fleeting images flickered within his mind—a loving wife, countless cherished moments, and a legacy of children and kin.

Yet, like distant echoes fading into the ether, these reminiscences seemed eons removed, dwarfed into insignificance by the dominant presence of the long-lived sect master that now commandeered his consciousness.

Their colossal existence eclipsed the warmth and familiarity of his former life, leaving behind a void that echoed with the resonance of forgotten ages.

Amidst the overwhelming influx of memories and the chilling realization of this new existence, the transmigrated soul found himself adrift in a sea of uncertainty, grappling with the immense weight of a legacy not his own, yet inexorably entwined with his very essence.

In an attempt to unravel the enigma behind his transmigration, he delved deep into the abyss of uncertainty, only to find the reason veiled in layers of inscrutable mystery.

Nero Deathbinder, a name echoing through the annals of time, had sat one time in a lotus position and then devoted trillions upon trillions to the pursuit of a more profound cultivation until exhaustion claimed his immortal soul.

Curiously, his essence now intertwined with the essence of this ill-fated sect master, entwining their fates in an inexplicable convergence.

"Can such funny fate truly be possible?" Our transmigrator pondered, grappling with perplexing doubts that lingered in the wake of Nero's demise.

Alas, no satisfying answers emerged from the silent corridors of existence. Even the once formidable Nero now long dead, a haunting reminder of the dire repercussions borne of reckless ambition.

Our op mc stood in a state of bewildered contemplation, grappling with the weight of his newfound identity and the unfathomable depths of his predecessor's history.

After an extended, contemplative silence, he lifted his gaze, the resolute glint in his eyes belying the tumultuous thoughts churning within.

His gaze transcended the physical confines of his secluded cultivation cave, penetrating the veil of reality itself. Space and time was pierced in an instant.

"Home," he whispered, a revelation resonating deep within his soul. Beyond the known boundaries of this universe lay an expanse of infinite realms, each a fragment of an intricate cosmic tapestry.

Yet, despite his ascendancy to the apex of the True Immortal Realm, the irrevocable laws of the celestial order bound Nero - and by extension, himself - to this solitary domain.

A sense of longing mingled with a newfound understanding surged within him.

The tantalizing prospect of exploring the uncharted expanses of existence clashed against the immutable boundaries imposed by the heavenly dao.

Even in his ascended state, transcending this singular reality remained an elusive aspiration, an unattainable horizon veiled by cosmic laws and enigmatic forces beyond mortal and immortal comprehension alike.

"So what now?" Our op mc chuckled softly, bemused by the inexplicable twist of fate that had brought him to this peculiar juncture.

Hours stretched into a void of contemplation as he grappled with the absence of any discernible answers.

Faced with an insurmountable impasse, he resolved to depart from the confinement of the cultivation cave that had served as Nero's enduring prison for trillions upon trillions of years.

Venturing beyond the imposing doors, he emerged from the confines of a humble, unassuming hut.

This unremarkable structure served as the gateway to his clandestine realm, a world vast enough to dwarf a thousand suns from his home world.

Within this domain, only two features punctuated the seemingly endless expanse: the unassuming hut he emerged from and a monumental gate looming in the distance, its sheer magnitude spanning what appeared to be at least 10 kilometers in both width and height.

With resolute steps, he embarked on a journey toward the colossal gate, its sheer scale a testament to its awe-inspiring presence.

Towering as it did, reaching staggering heights that seemed to breach the heavens, a surge of anticipation mingled with a trace of trepidation coursed through him.

As the gate slowly parted, it was as if the very fabric of his clandestine world yielded to his will, allowing him passage from the insular realm of cultivation into the palpable expanse of reality.

He exited into the sky above a mighty sect. His gaze swept across the awe-inspiring vista of the Immortal Soul Sect, a behemoth of grandeur that stretched beyond the reaches of comprehension.

The sheer magnitude of the place left him astounded, dwarfed by the enormity of its splendor and power.

The Immortal Soul Sect sprawled across the undulating landscape, an expansive domain that seemed to exist at the crossroads of ethereal beauty and tangible magnificence.

Its boundaries expanded beyond mortal comprehension, an enclave where the whispers of cosmic forces intertwined with the corporeal realm.

Upon approaching the sect's periphery, one would be greeted by a labyrinth of towering crystalline spires, each reaching skyward with an otherworldly luminescence.

These spires, crafted from a mysterious amalgamation of celestial materials, refracted light in hues that transcended the mundane spectrum—iridescent hues of azure, amethyst, and hues unnamed in the mortal lexicon.

The grounds surrounding the spires were meticulously landscaped, an artful blend of natural splendor and arcane design.

Rare and mystical flora adorned the gardens, their vibrant petals unfurling in vivid hues that spoke of celestial origins.

Streams of crystal-clear water wove through the terrain, murmuring the secrets of ancient wisdom as they meandered between paths adorned with stones bearing ancient symbols and enigmatic runes.

The heart of the sect revealed a citadel of immense proportions, a testament to the fusion of timeless craftsmanship and enigmatic arcane artistry.

Carved into its very essence were glyphs of forgotten dialects and runes pulsating with arcane resonance, an architectural marvel steeped in unfathomable power and wisdom.

Veiled within the labyrinthine corridors of the citadel, secluded alcoves and sacred sanctuaries held cryptic repositories—vast collections of ancient scrolls and tomes.

These archives chronicled the lineage and heritage of the Immortal Soul Sect, recounting tales of triumphs, sacrifices, and the eternal pursuit of enlightenment by generations of disciples.

The scrolls, inscribed with the wisdom gleaned from epochs past, beckoned seekers with promises of esoteric knowledge and enlightenment.

An ethereal energy permeated the atmosphere—a symphony of cultivation practices, arcane secrets, and the resonating essence of souls honed through the aeons.

Elders, adorned with the markings of ages etched upon their countenances, traversed the hallowed halls, imparting sagacity and guiding the sect's aspirants along the arduous path to spiritual ascension.

At the heart of this awe-inspiring domain lay the Sanctum of the Sect Master—a chamber aglow with an otherworldly radiance.

Here, whispers of ancient prophecies intertwined with the cosmic resonance, as the enigmatic sect master, cloaked in mystery, charted the destiny of the Immortal Soul Sect amidst the tapestry of existence.

"Well, at least my new home's already fancy enough. No need for me to work for a lifetime to get a big house," our transmigrator chuckled softly, finding comfort in the lavish surroundings despite the strange situation.

Afterward, he stealthily soared towards his residence, going unnoticed in the bustling surroundings.
