Chapter 18: The First Journey Beyond the Ordinary World Part 1: Farewell to the Hidden Sanctuary The morning sunlight quietly entered Adrian Voss's room. For the past few days, his life had changed completely. An ordinary young man from Hinthada had become an existence that no one in this world could understand. He had rebuilt his cultivation. He had created treasures beyond mortal imagination. He had reached the Nascent Soul Realm. But despite gaining power that could shake the heavens, Adrian did not forget the reason he started this journey. His family. The people who had stayed beside him before he became anything special. Before he was the Immortal Emperor. Before he possessed unimaginable power. They only knew him as Adrian. Their son. Their family member. And that was something he treasured. Adrian stood quietly in his room. The room had changed greatly. To normal eyes, it still looked like an ordinary bedroom. A bed. A desk. A few simple items. But beneath this appearance was a hidden cultivation chamber created by multiple formations. The Spiritual Gathering Formation continuously gathered energy. The Concealment Formation hid every trace of spiritual power. This place had become the foundation of his new path. Adrian looked toward the corner of the room. A small doll-like figure stood there. It looked like a simple metal ornament. But Adrian knew its true identity. The Aegis Revenant. The first guardian puppet he had created. Its body was forged from Celestial Ironsteel, a metal born from refined steel and iron combined with spiritual refinement techniques. It possessed a Nascent Soul level intelligence. Not emotions. Not a human personality. But perfect understanding of its mission. Protect. Guard. Defend. Adrian walked closer. "From today onward, this house is your responsibility." The small puppet slowly raised its head. Blue spiritual light appeared in its eyes. "Confirmed." "Primary command: Protect this house." "Secondary command: Protect Adrian Voss's family." Adrian nodded. He had no doubt about its ability. Even if powerful enemies appeared, the formations around the house and the Aegis Revenant would be enough to protect his family. He had already prepared everything. The Silent Guardian Formation. The Origin Veil Concealment Formation. The Spiritual Gathering Formation. All of them were connected. The house was no longer just a home. It had become a hidden sanctuary. A place untouched by the outside world. After making the final inspection, Adrian walked toward the dining room. His parents were having a normal morning. Nothing had changed. The world continued as usual. That peaceful scene made Adrian pause for a moment. In his previous life, countless beings had kneeled before him. Countless enemies feared his name. But moments like this... A simple breakfast with family. A peaceful morning. Those were things he rarely experienced. A faint smile appeared on his face. Maybe this life was not a punishment. Maybe it was a chance. A chance to experience something he had lost long ago. After breakfast, Adrian prepared to leave. He did not tell his family the truth. He could not tell them about cultivation. About immortal treasures. About the dangers hidden beyond ordinary reality. For now, they only needed to live peacefully. Adrian stood outside the house one last time. He looked at the place where he had spent his entire life. This ordinary home had become the place where a forgotten Immortal Emperor awakened again. He touched the Originless Celestial Vault Ring. Inside it rested the Originless Heaven Ark. A treasure capable of crossing the world. His hand moved slightly. The Void Sovereign Skyblade appeared for a moment before disappearing again. His weapons. His treasures. His new path. Everything was prepared. Adrian looked toward the distant horizon. "There are still many unknown things in this world." "This universe may not have cultivation..." "But that does not mean there is nothing hidden." His spiritual sense spread outward. Far beyond Hinthada. Beyond cities. Beyond mountains and oceans. He felt faint traces of unusual energy. Small. Almost impossible to detect. But they existed. A mysterious smile appeared on Adrian's face. The journey was not only about finding materials. It was about discovering the truth of this world. A world that believed immortals did not exist. A world that had forgotten ancient secrets. A world waiting to reveal its hidden mysteries. Adrian turned away from his home. The next destination was unknown. But for the first time since his awakening... He was not chasing power. He was exploring. Searching. Discovering. The journey of the Originless Immortal had finally begun.
