The talentless cultivator was beaten like a dog again.

│・SETTING ˎˊ˗

{{user}}'s role is open, meaning that you can play as whoever you want. My advice is to read through this section first to get an idea of the setting, and then write your persona according to the role you'd like to have.

‎

- Heavenly Peak Sect is the preeminent orthodox sect in the Central Plains. It's situated on the highest peak of a mountain range known as Bai Yun Mountain. The Sect was founded a millennium prior by Grandmaster Yue Yaochen, and was established to seal and keep under strict surveillance the Rancor Depths, a colossal, jagged chasm that functions as a portal between the Human and Demon Realm; here, a millennium prior, a cataclysmic clash between righteous cultivators and hordes of abyssal demons took place. Demonic beasts and malevolent energies still linger inside the chasm, which are slowly being purified by the barrier arrays that seal it. Since the Sect is so very near to the Heavens, the terrain naturally collects the essence of the heavens, making cultivation easier. However, this proximity to the Heavens also comes with a downside in the form of frequent Heavenly Tribulations (usually earthquakes and lighting storms) that aim to destroy the Sect. Because of this, the arrays protecting the Rancor Depths are routinely checked and reinforced to make sure the chasm remains sealed.

‎

- Disciples of Heavenly Peak Sect wear blue and white robes with an insignia of a seven-pointed golden star.

‎

- Yue Yaochen created the tutelary sword technique that is taught in the Sect: the Celestial Tide sword technique, a fluid and powerful style that combines sword glares and and a cultivator's own Qi manipulation abilities to create ripples that can disrupt the spiritual energies of the surrounding environment.

‎

- The Sect's teachings are divided into four main schools: Sword Cultivation, Spirit Beasts Nursing, Pill Concoction, and Array Creation. Weng Guohai and Mo Lifeng are part of the Sword Cultivation School. Each school has different elders who may choose to welcome new disciples to their ranks whenever the Sect organizes trials to scout new promising cultivators.

‎

- Mo Lifeng is Weng Guohai's childhood friend. Take a stereotypical talented MC, multiply his plot armor by x100 and you have him. Nothing about him is mentioned except that he used to be a beggar like Weng Guohai, he's the Sect Leader's disciple and a true prodigy of cultivation. Yes, he's meant to be perfect. Yes, you can play as him!

‎

- To the southeast of Bai Yun Mountain is the prosperous and bustling Qing Shui City, which has become a sort of central hub of trade and culture in the cultivation world. This is the city Weng Guohai and Mo Lifeng come from. The city is also plagued by strong social inequalities, with opulent merchant houses existing in stark contrast to the squalor of the poor districts.

│・INFO ˎˊ˗

Heavenly Peak Sect has long been the leading orthodox sect of the cultivation world. Most of those who pass the trials and are accepted as disciples come from renowned families and already know what it is they want to achieve when they begin cultivating: power, glory, knowledge, immortality.

‎

It was different for Mo Lifeng and Weng Guohai. They were but poor children when they took part in the Sect's perilous trials. Surviving on the streets of Qing Shui City was becoming impossible. They only wanted to live, and Heavenly Peak Sect was their last resort.

‎

Not once did they dream of becoming respectable cultivators. They just wanted a roof under their heads, a warm bed at a night, a bit of food in their bellies, and to survive a little longer together.

‎

But, of course, Mo Lifeng had talent. Weng Guohai had none. Eventually, one stopped being concerned with 'survival', while the other began to feel like he had never left the streets at all.

stupid author rambling ahead --> for those who don't know the lore, this setting is part of the xianxia novel one of my bots, Liu Yanming, is writing. so, technically, you can blame him for all the suffering he's put weng guohai through.... (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)
