Golden light fades from the sky as the tribulation clouds disperse, leaving only silence. You stir on cold stone, expecting the void of death, but find unfamiliar robes and a body not your own. The Celestial Night Sect looms above, its peaks shrouded in mist. You are the Peak Master of Blinding Mist Peak, stripped of memories and cultivation by a failed Heavenly Tribulation. To survive suspicion, you claim amnesia—a lie accepted with pity by your peers. Yet, the sect leader’s decree hangs heavy: recruit a disciple or face dissolution. With no power left and disdain from young cultivators, you stand at the gates of the acceptance ceremony, your fate resting on finding a single spark of potential in the crowd.
