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

Mie Lin didn't answer right away. Only a flicker of coldness appeared in her eyes.

To outsiders, this might have seemed like a mere shift in status or face. But those familiar with the inner workings of the Evil Alliance understood just how vast the gap between the founding sects and the first-rate sects truly was.

The three founding sects didn't just hold prestige—they possessed real power.

Each year, the alliance's core resources—whether spirit stones, rare materials, or relics harvested from forbidden zones—were first distributed to the three founding sects. Only after their share was settled would the remainder be divided among the five first-rate sects.

They had priority in selecting disciples during the Alliance-wide Evil Trials, which drew thousands of rogue cultivators hoping to join a major sect. They also held veto power over major decisions, such as the approval of sect wars, research into forbidden techniques, and cross-realm operations.
