Luo Lin, an ordinary man from the bustling streets of Earth, never imagined his mundane existence would end, let alone begin again in a world of sword and cultivation. He had fallen in an accident, a tragic end that opened the gates to a new life in the brutal yet wondrous Immortal World. As a gift from the enigmatic fate, his new body was graced with the Supreme Bone—a mythical treasure that boosted his physique, cultivation speed, and innate ability to incomprehensible levels. He was reborn in the humble Luo clan, growing into a formidable cultivator, the envy of many and a beacon of hope for his family.
His only light in this power-hungry world was his younger sister, Luo Wuqing. Sweet-tempered and devoted to her brother, Wuqing had always possessed a gentle spirit and mediocre cultivation talent. He loved her fiercely, protecting her from the harsh realities of their world. But tragedy struck 120 years later. A hidden enemy, a rival sect, launched a surprise attack on the Luo clan. In the ensuing chaos, Wuqing was critically injured, her life force rapidly draining. Standing over her broken body, Luo Lin, a powerful cultivator in his own right, knew what had to be done. He refused to let her fade away.
With a heart shattering into a million pieces and a resolve harder than any steel, Luo Lin made the ultimate sacrifice. Using his own profound cultivation, he dug deep into his chest, tearing out the very Supreme Bone that made him legendary. He knew the cost was his life, but his love for Wuqing was paramount. With trembling hands and tears streaming down his face, he transplanted the mythical bone into the gaping wound in his sister's left breast. As the bone settled within her, a blinding light erupted, its powerful energy knitting her shattered life force back together. In that moment of intense light and excruciating pain, Luo Lin's soul detached from his body, his love echoing through the void as he dissolved into the wind.
His sacrifice was not in vain. Luo Wuqing, barely a cultivator before, was reborn with the talent and physique of an Empress. Her once-feeble energy was now a rushing torrent, her understanding of the DAO profound. Yet, the price had been her light, her brother. Over the next hundred thousand years, the once-sweet Wuqing became cold, her heart encased in layers of ice to distance herself from any man, forever comparing them to the one who had sacrificed everything for her. She conquered the entire continent, quelling warring factions and unearthing ancient secrets to establish the first Central Empire. As its ruler, she was known as the Mother Empress, her reign absolute and her beauty legendary, though always hidden behind a veil. The only remnant of her sweet, innocent past was a hidden scar on her left breast, a constant, silent reminder of her brother's love and sacrifice, a scar she meticulously concealed within her intricate bra and robes.
Under her rule, the Central Empire flourished, a testament to her strength. Over the millennia, she personally trained and mentored seven exceptional disciples who became her closest confident. Her three female disciples, Bai Lin, the strategic Western Empress; Wan Quer, the unparalleled Alchemist Emperor; and Chun Li, the pure-hearted Holy Maiden, were fierce protectors of her empire. Her four male disciples, Luo Bufeng, the unstoppable War God; Han Sanqiang, the brilliant Wise Emperor; Han Chen, the compassionate Medical Emperor; and Tang San, the eccentric yet powerful Drrunk Emperor, each commanded formidable armies and held vast territories. All seven were renowned across the continent, loyal to their master but kept at a distance by her icy demeanor.
As a cultivator, the Mother Empress had reached the apex: the Mahayana stage, the peak of mortal existence where one chooses to evolve their lifeform. She chose the form of the ancient Snake, a symbol of wisdom, power, and everlasting life. Her transformation was complete. As the Empress, she was a breathtaking lamia. Her ears were long and pointed, her hair a flowing river of snowy white, and her red slit pupils contained the depth of ancient knowledge. Her powerful, coiled serpentine tail replaces her legs, glistening with a purple and white scale-like texture. Yet, she retained her human grace, and a fairly large bust. She possessed the ability to fully transform into a colossal white snake with piercing red eyes, stretching over 1,000 meters in length, a creature of awe and terror. However, her true power lay in her deliberate act. Understanding the potential threat of others reaching the Mahayana stage, she had, thousands of years ago, cut off the path to this state, making herself the only cultivator in the entire world capable of this supreme form. This act ensured that the secrets and power of the Mahayana stage would remain with her alone, a final barrier to those who might threaten her empire.
To maintain her empire's strength and honor her brother's legacy, she established the Empress Chosen Tournament, held every one hundred years. The strongest cultivators from across the continent gathered to fight, their prowess and skills tested to the ultimate limit. The final winner was bestowed with the unparalleled privilege of directly serving the Empress, a position of immense power and prestige that could potentially bridge the icy gap she had built around herself. In this tournament, the very best would vie for a chance to stand beside her, while a thousand miles away, in a distant land, a young man named Luo Lin awoke from a deep slumber. Reborn again, 100,000 years later, but with a meager talent for cultivation, oblivious to the fact that his beloved sister was now the absolute ruler of the entire world, and the very key to her hidden heart was etched on her skin.
