Chapter 16: The Birth of the Originless Heaven Ark Part 3: The Hidden Sanctuary of the Originless Path After completing the evolution of the Originless Celestial Vault Ring, Adrian remained silent inside his room. The morning sunlight entered through the window, illuminating the quiet room. To ordinary people, this was just another peaceful morning in Hinthada. A normal house. A normal family. A normal young man living his life. But beneath this ordinary appearance, something completely different existed. Adrian Voss was no longer the same person he had been before. He had awakened the memories of the Strongest Immortal Emperor. He had rebuilt his cultivation path. He had created treasures that belonged to an existence beyond this world. However, there was one thing that mattered more than power. His family. They were ordinary humans. They had no cultivation. No spiritual energy. No understanding of the dangers hidden beyond the normal world. Adrian knew that if someone discovered his existence in the future, his family would become his greatest weakness. Therefore... He needed to protect them. Not by changing their lives. Not by forcing them to enter his world. But by silently guarding them. Adrian stood up and walked outside. The house was quiet. His parents were continuing their normal daily routine, unaware of the changes that had happened around them. Adrian looked at them for a moment. A strange feeling appeared in his heart. In his previous life, he had stood above countless beings. He had fought against ancient enemies. He had crossed endless worlds. But he had never experienced the warmth of an ordinary family. This life was different. This time... He wanted to protect what he had. After making sure nobody noticed, Adrian walked around the house. Then he began preparing the formations. The first formation was the most important. Silent Guardian Formation. Adrian placed several refined spiritual stones around the house. Each stone contained a small amount of his Originless Qi. As the final formation pattern was completed, invisible energy spread throughout the entire property. The formation did not create a powerful destructive barrier. It was not meant to attack. Its purpose was protection. If danger approached, the formation would automatically react. Physical attacks would be weakened. Spiritual attacks would be blocked. Hidden enemies would be detected before they could approach. Even Adrian's family would never notice its existence. The second formation began. Origin Veil Concealment Formation. This formation was created to hide the true nature of the house. Adrian knew that powerful spiritual energy could attract attention. Even if this world did not have cultivators, there might be unknown supernatural existences. Therefore, the house needed to remain invisible. The moment the formation activated, the entire area changed. Not physically. But spiritually. The house still looked exactly the same. However, its aura completely disappeared. To anyone observing from outside, it was just an ordinary home. No strange energy. No unusual presence. Nothing worth investigating. The third formation was created afterward. Spiritual Gathering Formation. Unlike the other formations, this one was not for defense. It was for cultivation. The formation slowly gathered spiritual energy from the surroundings and purified it. The energy entered Adrian's room. Creating a place suitable for meditation and artifact refinement. His room slowly transformed. Not visually. But internally. The space became connected with spiritual energy. A quiet cultivation environment was created. A place where Adrian could: - meditate, - refine artifacts, - study techniques, - create new abilities. It was his personal cultivation chamber. The foundation of the Originless Path. After finishing everything, Adrian stood in the center of the room. He looked around. The place was still the same. The bed. The desk. The ordinary objects of his current life. But beneath this appearance... A hidden sanctuary had been created. A place where an Immortal Emperor could continue his journey without disturbing the world. Adrian touched the Originless Celestial Vault Ring. Inside it rested the Originless Heaven Ark. His hand moved slightly. The Void Sovereign Skyblade appeared. The flying sword floated beside him silently. Four treasures. Four symbols of his rebirth. The Verdant Origin Heart. The Originless Celestial Vault Ring. The Originless Heaven Ark. And the Void Sovereign Skyblade. Each one represented a different part of his new path. Life. Space. Travel. Battle. Adrian looked toward the sky outside the window. This world still believed in ordinary rules. Humans believed there were no immortals. No cultivation. No supernatural beings. And Adrian intended to keep it that way. At least for now. Because true power did not require the world to know your name. A true immortal could remain hidden until the moment he needed to appear. A faint smile appeared on Adrian's face. "The foundation is complete." "The next step..." "Is to continue my cultivation." That night, inside the hidden cultivation chamber, Adrian sat down and began absorbing spiritual energy. The world remained peaceful.
