From Mountain Hermit to Immortal Patriarch by Xiaoyaos

Song Xiaoyao’s new life in a cultivation world came without any of destiny’s usual gifts. His spiritual roots were mediocre, his parents were gone, and no powerful sect was waiting to discover his hidden potential. Accepting that immortality was beyond his reach, he withdrew into the mountains and prepared to live out his days as an ordinary man. Then an unexpected encounter bound him to an imperial heiress descended from a Great Emperor—and the birth of their first child changed the course of history. Deep within Kunlun, Song Xiaoyao founded a clan. He never sought to conquer the world. Instead, he placed his faith in family, blood, and the passage of time. Generation after generation, the Song Clan produced extraordinary descendants: bearers of innate Dao physiques, bodies born from chaos, masters of space and time, peerless swordsmen, and ancient sacred physiques. Each of them possessed the power to define an era. Together, they formed a legacy hidden from the world. Countless ages later, a strange race descends upon the Ten Immortal Domains. Beings from beyond the realms batter at their gates, while the forbidden zones unleash a dark calamity from within. With civilization on the brink of annihilation, the long-sealed gates of Kunlun finally open. One Heavenly Emperor steps out. Then another. And another. Only then does the world realize that the family founded by an ordinary cultivator has become the greatest power in existence.
