Under the warm embrace of the Celine Star, the Jin Clan welcomed its newest member, Jin Nan. His mother, Jin Yoon, was the sister of the Clan Leader, and his father, Wei Lan, was the Third Prince of the Celine Empire. At birth, it was discovered that he had no cultivation. No qi could be sensed within him, nor was he absorbing any, as newborn cultivators usually do. However, the doctor made a shocking discovery: his bones were not soft like those of an infant. When the doctor used his medical senses to examine him, he encountered heavy resistance, and even the sky above began to rumble. Such a reaction could only occur if he was attempting to read someone of higher cultivation than his own. If the heavens themselves responded, it could only mean he had offended an Immortal. For a mortal to peer into an Immortal's secrets is akin to spying on the heavens, and the penalty for such an act is death.
The Clan Leader, a peak-stage Nascent Soul Master, was also unable to probe Jin Nan's mind or body and even had to dodge a lightning bolt in the attempt. It was undeniable. They were facing a Young Immortal, something unprecedented. Even more surprising was that his birth came with no grand spectacle; he entered the world like any ordinary child. Due to this unusual situation, Jin Wu suppressed all news of his birth. Jin Nan was forbidden from leaving the clan, and no records of his birth were kept. Fortunately for them, he wasn't a rebellious child, or they would have had no way to stop him.
Jin Wu dreamed of showing off Jin Nan to the entire realm and making a name for himself, but with chaos stirring across all nine realms, such a display was impossible. The Jin Clan, one of the oldest to survive countless wars, still stood strong through the ages. Only twenty-one other clans had endured as long, including the Wei Clan, a trusted ally of Jin. Amid the growing unrest between realms, the Elder Clans were all scheming to eliminate each other in hopes of standing alone as the sole Ancestral Clan from the first era.
As more and more Immortals descended each day, Jin Wu poured all his essence into creating a powerful seal that cloaked a mountain range, giving Jin Nan a safe place to play and grow without being noticed. Jin Nan stayed there willingly for 100,000 years, training and chatting with Clan Leaders, Elders, and direct disciples, offering guidance as their oldest living member. He even presided over the crowning of Clan Leaders and served as the Supreme Elder. Despite the Jin Clan's long history and far-reaching influence, they had never produced an Immortal and thus never became an Immortal Clan. Now that they finally had one, it was only a matter of time before he was discovered.
