In the world of cultivation, countless tales follow righteous protagonists, fated heroes blessed by destiny, or those chosen by heaven to walk the path of immortality.

But what of those who stand in their way?

What of the villains? The so-called obstacles to the hero’s journey—do they not bleed, dream, and struggle as well?

Xiao Ning was never meant to succeed.

From the very beginning, the Grand Dao wove him as a stepping stone—a necessary sacrifice to elevate another. His path, like that of all designated ‘villains,’ was doomed to failure by design.

But what happens when that design is defied?

After death, Xiao Ning awakens—not in the cycle of reincarnation, but in the cold silence beyond it. There, he is offered the Eternal Paradox Codex—a forbidden artifact containing the hidden truths of the Grand Dao System itself.

 Rules. Loopholes. Vulnerabilities.

Knowledge not meant for those like him.

With this power, Xiao Ning is granted a single, impossible choice: accept oblivion, or step outside the Grand Dao entirely—to abandon fate, sever karma, and cultivate a path unbound by heaven or law.

It is Xiao Ning’s journey, from ashes to something beyond comprehension.

Not to become an Immortal among men.

But something even the heavens dare not bind.

If fate is a chain…
Then let him forge his own path in the void beyond.

Welcome to this humble tale.
The cultivation world is vast and unkind.

Let us begin again—on our terms.

Cultivating Immortality :I Obtained The Villain's Ascension Code

1. Spirit Awakening Realm (Level 1)

Beginners learn to sense and absorb Qi.

Lifespan: Mortal (80–100 years).

Refine raw Qi into usable energy.

Capabilities: Enhanced strength, minor spells (e.g., fire sparks).

3. Foundation Establishment (Level 2)

Solidify the Dantian into a stable foundation.

Capabilities: Fly short distances, use low-grade magical treasures.

Condense Qi into a "Golden Core" in the Dantian.

Capabilities: Elemental spells, forge flying swords.

The Golden Core matures into a miniature "soul infant" (Nascent Soul).

Capabilities: Soul projection, resist aging, survive fatal injuries.

6. Heavenly Tribulation Realm (Level 5)

Cultivators undergo repeated trials of Heavenly Tribulations (lightning, fire, wind, or heart demons) to temper their bodies and souls.

Capabilities: Manipulate natural laws (e.g., control weather, bend space), create spatial domains.

Risk: Many perish here; surviving three tribulations is considered a miracle.

7. Divine Transformation Realm (Level 6)

The final mortal stage. Cultivators shed their mortal flesh and refine a Divine Avatar, a semi-immortal entity.

Capabilities: Divine sense (observe vast distances), regenerate limbs, wield heavenly flames.

Ultimate Trial: A final Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to true immortality. Success grants godhood; failure erases the cultivator from existence.
