The Veiled Immortal: He Sealed His Cosmic Powers to Live as a Mortal
After ten thousand years of shaping universes and watching stars die, Wei Ying became hollow.
Standing beyond the Nine Heavens themselves, wielding power that made even the Heavenly Dao bow before his will, Wei Ying found eternity stretching before him like an endless void. Each day became indistinguishable from the last millennium. What use was absolute power when nothing remained to challenge him? What meaning could immortality hold when every experience blended into the endless tapestry of existence?
So he made a decision no immortal had dared attempt—he sealed his cosmic powers and descended to the Azure Sky Continent as Wei Yun, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator in the humblest sect on the mountain.
He sought simplicity. Limitation. The forgotten taste of struggle.
What he found instead was a conspiracy spanning realms.
When void manifestations begin tearing through reality, Wei Yun discovers his own theoretical work from millennia ago being implemented by forces that shouldn't possess such knowledge. As he navigates sect politics while carefully concealing his true nature, he forms unexpected connections with mortals whose brief, brilliant lives remind him what it means to exist with purpose—Jin Ling, the brilliant alchemist who sees too much; Elder Mei, whose wisdom defies her mortal limitations; even Young Master Cai, whose arrogance masks deeper pain.
But as he investigates the escalating void incursions, a voice from between worlds speaks his true name—"Wei Ying"—and he must confront a terrifying possibility: Was his journey to mortality truly his choice, or is he merely a piece in a cosmic game orchestrated by beings who manipulated even him?
With each void manifestation forming a pattern that threatens all of existence, Wei Yun finds himself drawn into a conflict spanning dimensions. As he balances preserving his cover with preventing catastrophe, he's forced to question everything he believed about power, connection, and the true meaning of immortality.
Perhaps the greatest discovery isn't what lies beyond the veil of mortality, but what exists within it.
