The Empty Path

In a world ruled by immortal cultivators and sacred power, one man begins his journey not with ambition but with loss.



Once a wandering monk who believed the self mattered more than strength, he now walks a path he once swore never to take. After tragedy shatters the only life he knew, he turns to cultivation not for revenge, but to challenge the one force no one has ever beaten: fate.



But this is no ordinary path.



Every realm he reaches demands a sacrifice a memory, a bond, a part of who he is. With each breakthrough, he grows stronger. But with each step, he forgets.



His name.



His past.



His reason for climbing.



Until all that remains is power... and a question echoing through the void:



"I climbed to protect them. But who were they?"



Now, at the edge of godhood, he must make one final choice:



Ascend and become eternal but hollow.



Or fall and reclaim the broken pieces of himself.
