HUNTERS_TURN

Xuan, the once-revered Space Emperor, was a figure of myth and legend. His mastery over the spatial arts made him unmatched in his prime. He could fold space with a flick of his hand, walk between worlds as easily as stepping through a door, and his power over the stars themselves earned him his title. Yet, despite all his might, Xuan had fallen—betrayed by those he once trusted,his empire shattered, and his cultivation crippled.

But the Martial Dao was not a straight line, nor did it end with defeat.

Xuan had always believed that the true essence of the Martial Dao was not in reaching the peak, but in the struggle to rise, again and again, no matter how many times fate knocked him down. His fall had only awakened a deeper understanding within him—an understanding that would propel him beyond his previous limits.

Wandering in the desolate void, Xuan discovered ancient techniques and remnants of civilizations long lost to the flow of time. Each one held fragments of power that, when pieced together, opened new doors to cultivation realms previously thought unreachable. His body, broken and weak, was forged anew in the flames of adversity. The very spatial laws he once mastered had now evolved within him.

Xuan’s enemies believed him to be finished, but they did not understand the determination of a man who had seen beyond the confines of life and death.

Would he rise above the heavens, or would the forces arrayed against him crush him once more? One thing was certain: Xuan’s journey was far from over.!

Space Time Emperor

As Xuan continued his carefree lifestyle, rumors spread quickly through the sect. Some disciples mocked him for abandoning cultivation, while others speculated about why someone with such immense talent had given up.

But Xuan paid no mind to gossip. His mind was on other things like the freedom he now enjoyed.

In the evenings, he would often wander the sect's grounds, his gaze drifting toward the female disciples' quarters.

He'd developed a reputation for peeking at the women when they bathed in the hot springs, though he was far more discreet than the rumors suggested. Despite his carefree attitude, he still carried a mischievous streak from his past life a side of him that craved the little pleasures of life.

One night, Xuan found himself near the hot springs, leaning casually against a rock as the moonlight reflected off the water. A few female disciples were nearby, giggling and chatting quietly.

His eyes gleamed with amusement as he observed them from a distance, but a familiar presence soon interrupted him.

Feng Yuxin, the sect leader's daughter, appeared suddenly at his side, her expression a mix of curiosity and amusement.

"Spying? No, I'm simply admiring the view."

Yuxin raised an eyebrow, folding her arms across her chest.

"You know, people are starting to wonder why someone like you, who was supposed to be a prodigy, is wasting his time doing… this."

"Let them wonder. I have no interest in proving anything to them. I've already done it all in my past life. Besides, this is far more entertaining than endless cultivation drills."

Xuan looked at her, his gaze suddenly sharp, but his smile remained in place.

"Oh, I'm very serious. But that's not something I'm ready to talk about just yet."

Yuxin studied him for a moment, her curiosity piqued. She had always found Xuan's sudden change strange, but this mention of a "past life" added a new layer to the mystery.

As she walked away, Xuan leaned back against the rock, his grin widening.

"One day, they'll understand. But for now, I'll enjoy the peace."

With his memories restored, and his strength concealed, Xuan knew that his time of laziness wouldn't last forever. One day, the sect and the world beyond would face challenges that would require him to step forward again.

But until then, he was content to remain in the background, watching and waiting, knowing that when the time came, he would reclaim the full power of the Void Emperor once more.
