You Level 999, I Am Only 1, Yet You Are Defeated
In the world of cultivation, Qi Refining is merely the absolute basic step for mortals. Anyone with decent talent can breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage within a few years.
Except for Asher.
For one hundred thousand years, Asher remained stuck at Qi Refining. He watched his master ascend to the immortal realm, watched his sect's disciples become supreme ancestors, and watched empires rise and fall in the dust. Even after 100,000 years, his realm hadn't budged an inch.
He became the hidden, forgotten "eternal disciple" of the Heavenly Cloud Sect.
Until one day, the sect faced total annihilation. Enemy cultivators swarmed the mountain, and legendary gods descended, threatening to erase his master's legacy.
With no one else left to turn to, Asher finally stepped out of his secluded cave.
"An mere Qi Refining mortal dares to stand against us?" The enemy ancestors laughed maniacally, treating him like an insect.
Asher sighed softly and threw a casual, ordinary punch.
BOOM!
The sky shattered. The earth split. The legendary gods and millions of enemy cultivators were instantly vaporized into nothingness.
The entire world went dead silent.
"Who... who exactly are you?!" The surviving enemies screamed in absolute horror.
Asher adjusted his robes, his face perfectly calm. "I am just an ordinary disciple of the Heavenly Cloud Sect. Currently... at the 9,999,999th layer of Qi Refining."
