Master of Origin: Path to Eternity

Chapter 1: Rebirth in a Familiar World

I

was once an ordinary person, obsessed with reading cultivation novels. I even tried writing my own, but my creativity fizzled out after the first two chapters. Life was simple until my untimely death.

Unbeknownst to me, my dream-fantasy came true. I traveled back in time to one of the novel worlds I had attempted to write. My name is now Ye Tian.

In this world, I found myself in the body of a five-year-old orphan, born to parents who were friends of the White Cloud Sect's leader. They died on a mission, leaving me alone in the outer sect.

White Cloud Outer Sect, Ye Tian Residence

The residence was poor and not so big there's a hole in roof. Suddenly while practicing under a tree, ye tian had a strange sensation. A vision materialized in my mind – two cliffs facing each other like a huge gate, with a river flowing nearby and a forest on the other side.

"I know this place," Ye tian thought. "It's the restricted area on the White Cloud Sect's map, infamous for ferocious beasts."

Why did this image appear in my mind? It felt like an inexplicable feeling, it's like something is calling me.

"I must go there," Ye tian decided. "No one will notice my absence anyway."

As he pondered, a delicate voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Junior Brother Tian, you skipped the hall again today. Is someone bullying you?"

Su Ling, the sect leader's daughter and core disciple of the inner courtyard, stood before me. Her beauty was captivating – jade-like skin, blue dress, and hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall.

"I know my situation, Senior Sister," Ye tian replied. "My body's not strong enough for Foundation Building."

Su Ling handed me a small box containing a Body Tempering Pill with 5 strokes, the highest quality available in Cloud City.

"Take it, Junior Brother," she said with a gentle smile. "This will help you build your foundation."

Ye tian clenched my fists, resolve burning within him.

"I' must become strong."

They gossip for a long time. After Su Ling left, ye tian began preparing for body tempering. Ye tian took the pill and meditated.

Two days passed. He opened the eyes to find his body covered in a black layer. As he stood, the layer cracked and fell apart, releasing a pungent smell.

Ye tian rushed to shower and refresh myself. The pill's energy had nourished his body, releasing all 108 acupoints.

Ye tian felt like he is reborn.
