Chapter 1: Jun Wei Despair

Jue Wei stood alone in the vast fields of Jue village, his heart heavy with the weight of disappointment. It had been eight long years since he was reincarnated into this world, hoping to become the protagonist of his own extraordinary story. He had dreamed of cultivating immortality, wielding unimaginable power, and facing incredible challenges. But the reality he faced was far from his lofty aspirations.

As an orphan in Jue village, life had been harsh and unyielding. At the tender age of fourteen, he toiled tirelessly on the village farm, working from dawn till dusk under the scorching sun. It was a monotonous existence, void of any excitement or adventure. Jue Wei had come to realize that the world he had been reborn into was not as fantastical as he had imagined. The existence of cultivators, those who could harness the mystical arts and transcend their mortal limits, seemed like nothing but a distant myth.

Sighing deeply, Jue Wei looked down at his own slender frame, evidence of the malnourished upbringing he had endured. His body lacked the strength and vitality necessary for cultivation, and the dreams of immortality seemed like unattainable fantasies. He had heard tales of cultivators with the ability to fly through the skies, summon elemental powers, shake the sea, and move mountains with a mere wave of their hand. However, such stories felt like distant echoes, far removed from the reality of his everyday life. The feats of cultivators seemed like grand myths, whispered only in hushed tones, leaving Jue Wei longing for the day he could witness such extraordinary displays of power with his own eyes.

"Perhaps I am fated to live and die as an ordinary mortal," Jue Wei muttered to himself, his voice tinged with resignation. The prospect of cultivating immortality seemed elusive and unattainable, leaving him with a sense of despair. He had never encountered a cultivator in his village or witnessed the miracles they were said to perform. The thought of living his days in obscurity, devoid of the extraordinary destiny he had envisioned, weighed heavily upon him.

Lost in his thoughts, Jue Wei's despondent reverie was interrupted by the distant murmurings of the village folk. Rumors had spread that a renowned master of cultivation would be passing through the village, offering guidance to those with latent potential. A glimmer of hope flickered within Jue Wei's heart. Perhaps this master held the key to unlocking his dormant abilities and fulfilling his dreams.

With a mix of trepidation and newfound hope, Jue Wei set his gaze towards the village square, where the master would soon arrive. The villagers buzzed with excitement, their voices filled with anticipation and curiosity. Jue Wei hesitated, his mind teetering between doubt and aspiration. The path of cultivation was rumored to be treacherous and demanding, yet the allure of transcending his mortal limitations beckoned to him.

As the sun began its descent, casting a warm golden glow upon the village, Jue Wei made up his mind. He would step forward, against the tides of uncertainty, and embrace the possibility of a different destiny. Even if the road ahead was filled with challenges and uncertainties, he would not surrender to despair. For deep within his heart, a glimmer of hope burned bright, refusing to be extinguished.

The first chapter of Jue Wei's journey would tell the tale of an orphan yearning for a life beyond ordinary existence. It would be a story of perseverance, self-discovery, and the pursuit of immortality. Little did Jue Wei know that his path was about to unfold, and that the trials and tribulations he would face would test not only his physical and spiritual limits but also his unwavering resolve. As he embarked on this extraordinary path, an air of mystery surrounded his cultivation journey, with secrets yet to be uncovered and destinies yet to be unveiled.

And so, with resolute determination, Jue Wei took his first step towards the unknown, ready to face the challenges that awaited him on his path to cultivation and, against all odds, the realization of his once-forgotten dreams.
