The Invincible Sect Leader

Chan Li carefully studied the Heavenly Star Formation recorded in the jade scroll. It was unlike anything he had ever read before a grand formation that could absorb and refine spiritual energy from the heavens themselves.

"With this, I can create a perfect cultivation ground… but I need the right location."

He left the ancient ruins, his mind already planning ahead. His sect would not be ordinary. It would be hidden, powerful, and unlike any of the warring sects of the world.

But first, he needed disciples.

The Search for Talent

Traveling through small villages and towns, Chan Li observed the people closely. He didn't seek noble bloodlines or established sect disciples he sought hidden talents, the overlooked, the ones discarded by society.

After weeks of searching, he found his first candidate.

A Child Born with a Cursed Body

In a remote village, a boy no older than twelve was being cast out. His body radiated a strange energy a demonic aura mixed with pure spiritual essence.

"He is cursed! He will bring misfortune!" the villagers cried.

But Chan Li saw the truth. The boy was not cursed he was special. A natural fusion of demonic and divine energy, a perfect candidate to learn the Tai Chi cultivation method Chan Li was creating.

He stepped forward, his voice cold and commanding.

"From this moment on, you are under my protection. If anyone dares to harm you, they will answer to me."

The villagers recoiled in fear, sensing the power in his words.

The boy looked up at him with wide eyes.

"Who… who are you?"

Chan Li's gaze was unreadable.

"I am your master. Follow me, and I will show you a path beyond anything this world has ever seen."

The first disciple of the Heavenly Mystical Sect had been found.

And this was only the beginning.
