Time flew.
Before anyone knew it, three thousand years had passed.
That day, in the Immortal Sect's Supreme Unity Healing Secret Realm, countless rays converged. Boundless sunlight fell upon the realm, each ray weaving, winding, and forging until the workings of the Heavenly Dao hammered a body into being.
Gradually, as the light dimmed, the outline of a body the size of a sixteen-year-old boy emerged.
His features were impossible to make out. He glowed red like divine metal fresh from the forge, with liquid metal flowing in places. The terrifying heat melted space and the rules themselves.
That heat instantly sent countless clouds of vapor billowing through the Supreme Unity Healing Secret Realm. Space shook violently, and the entire realm nearly came apart.
His aura alone was enough to shatter the secret realm completely!
The Central Array-Spirit Computer detected the danger at once and intervened. Azure chains descended from the Heavenly Dao, reaching into every corner of the realm to reinforce its space and rules.
Time passed. One year, ten years, a hundred years.
Two hundred years. Three hundred.
Only after a full three hundred years did the temperature of that dazzling, scorching solar body, so full of destructive power, slowly fall. Its red-hot, divine-metal form solidified, turning gold, then dark gold. At last, its dark-gold skin gradually regained its original color.
His long hair was black as ink, his face handsome, and his fair skin flushed with pink, so supple it seemed one could squeeze water from it. He looked exactly as a sixteen-year-old human boy should.
The destructive pressure that had seemed ready to obliterate the entire healing realm gradually drew inward until not a trace remained.
He looked no different from any boy outside the gates of Immortal Sect High School.
No one would have guessed
