Title: Heaven's Redemption: The Story of Manish Xui Yan
Episode 2: The Riches Path Awakens
[Scene: Purelight Sacred Sect – Misty morning. Disciples training. Sounds of clashing swords, running feet, and waterfall echoing in the background.]
[Focus: The waterfall cave – Manish's reincarnated body (now known as Li Wei) breathes heavily after waking up.]
Li Wei (panting, gripping his chest):
"What... what is this pain? These memories... they feel like fire in my veins."
[Suddenly, a surge of golden light bursts from his forehead. Ancient runes flash in his eyes — symbols unknown even to the elders.]
[Voice in his head — deep, ancient, almost celestial.]
Ancient Voice:
"Bearer of Heaven's Flame... the Riches Path has returned. Your karma binds you to fate, but your will shall bend destiny."
Li Wei (confused):
"Heaven's Flame...? Riches Path...? What is all this...?"
[Scene shift – Sect's inner temple. Elder Xuan, a wise and gentle old cultivator, suddenly opens his eyes during meditation.]
Elder Xuan:
"That aura… impossible! This… this is the mark of a Flame Soul Inheritor!"
[Scene returns to waterfall – Li Wei collapses, vision blurring. Flashbacks flicker — Manish's death, betrayal, the whispers of heaven.]
Li Wei (gritting teeth):
"I don't know who I was… but I feel the rage… the sorrow… I need answers."
[Suddenly, a stone beneath him glows. A golden scroll rises — pulsing with heavenly energy.]
[Scroll reads: "The Riches Path – Heaven's Trial 1"]
Narration:
The Riches Path… a cultivation path said to be lost for thousands of years.
A path that draws fortune from the heavens themselves.
But each step… demands a sacrifice.
To gain wealth… one must lose fear.
To rise… one must first kneel before pain.
[Scene: Inner courtyard – Disciples watching as Li Wei walks out of the waterfall cave, eyes glowing with calm fire.]
Disciple 1 (mocking):
"Oi, look at this one. Still wet from crying under the waterfall?"
Disciple 2 (laughing):
"Maybe he drowned in his dreams!"
Li Wei (cold, calm):
"Laugh now. Soon, the heavens will silence you."
[Suddenly, Li Wei's palm glows golden. A slap strikes the ground — a crack runs through the training field.]
[All disciples freeze. Elder Xuan appears, eyes locked on Li Wei.]
Elder Xuan (shocked):
"That aura… no doubt... he's awakened the Heaven's Seed."
Li Wei (softly):
"I don't know who I was… but I'll find out. Even if I have to burn through the heavens to do it."
[Scene fades — clouds part. A mysterious golden eye opens in the sky, watching over Li Wei.]
Narration:
A soul reborn under betrayal…
A path that tests fate itself…
And an ancient power lost to time…
Manish Xui Yan walks again.
But this time… he will not fall.
This time… heaven will witness his redemption.
