At five years old, Yu Shinpai had failed in Cultivating his family's ancient Cultivation Technique, failing again and again until the age of ten when he was already too old for that specific Technique.
He was ostracized by his family members, even ridiculed in some cases, but he never gave up. He continued searching for another way to gain the approval of his father, but it was never enough. As long as Yu Shinpai wasn't a successful Cultivator, his father could care less about his well-being.
Yu Shinpai spent years seeking out an unparalleled Cultivation Technique that suited his family, eventually discovering hints to a powerful Technique from within his own library, ironically. It was a Technique that his own parents had discovered many years before, but it was unfinished and had since been abandoned.
Now that he was about to be let out of the prison his father had sentenced him to, seeing his family was probably the last thing on Shinpai's mind.
