The Invincible Sect Leader

After stepping into the Martial Sky World, Chan Li was filled with a rare sense of excitement. This world was unlike any he had encountered before. It lacked cultivators, sects, and divine techniques. Instead, it thrived purely on martial arts, an intricate system of training that focused solely on the physical body rather than Qi refinement.

For the first time in countless years, Chan Li felt... human.

Here, no one could sense his overwhelming power, and he could live like an ordinary person. He decided to blend into this world and experience something he had never truly given a chance before love, family, and a mortal life.

Meeting the Fairy of Martial Sky World

One day, while strolling through a bustling city, he came across a breathtaking sight. A woman, more beautiful than the finest celestial maidens he had ever seen, stood at the center of a crowd, effortlessly defending herself against a group of armed men. Her movements were graceful, her strikes precise. She fought like a seasoned warrior, but there was something refined about her aura.

Her name was Tang Yu, the daughter of the most powerful martial family in the Martial Sky World. She had no interest in marriage and had rejected countless suitors who sought her hand, choosing instead to pursue the martial path.

Chan Li was intrigued. Not by her beauty alone, but by her will, her spirit, and the fire in her eyes.

Their first meeting was nothing short of dramatic. He had intervened when a group of arrogant nobles attempted to harass her. With a single flick of his finger, he sent the assailants flying. Tang Yu, shocked by his effortless strength, challenged him to a sparring match on the spot.

"You have great skill," she admitted after being utterly defeated within three moves. "Who are you?"

"I'm just a wandering martial artist," Chan Li replied with a mysterious smile.

Tang Yu found herself fascinated by this strange man, and over time, their encounters became more frequent.

Falling in Love and Starting a Family

Chan Li had never sought romance before. His past was filled with battles, cultivation, and the pursuit of power. But Tang Yu was different. She was bold, determined, and had an indomitable spirit that even immortal emperors would admire.

Despite his usual indifference to matters of the heart, he found himself drawn to her. They spent time together, training, sparring, and eventually, sharing their dreams and fears.

One night, as they sat atop a hill, watching the stars, Tang Yu turned to him.

"Chan Li, I've met many warriors, but none like you. You're a mystery I can't solve."

He chuckled. "Maybe some mysteries are best left unsolved."

Tang Yu shook her head. "Then let me be part of that mystery."

It was then that Chan Li, for the first time in centuries, allowed himself to embrace something beyond cultivation. He proposed to her, and she accepted.

Soon, they were married, and their union was celebrated throughout the city. To the world, he was a simple martial artist. To Tang Yu, he was a loving husband.

A year later, their son was born. They named him Chan Lang.

Struggles of a Mortal Life

Though Chan Li had experienced battles against immortal emperors and demonic gods, nothing could prepare him for the challenges of family life.

His son was an energetic troublemaker, constantly getting into mischief. One day, Chan Lang climbed onto the rooftop and declared, "I'm going to be the strongest martial artist in the world!" before slipping and nearly falling. Chan Li, of course, caught him with ease, but the heart attack he gave Tang Yu was real.

Being a husband and father also came with responsibilities Chan Li never expected. He had to make money, take care of a household, and deal with in-laws who were suspicious of his background.

Tang Yu's father, the head of the Tang Family, was particularly difficult.

"You appear out of nowhere, have no known background, and yet, you married my daughter? What are your intentions, young man?"

Chan Li smiled awkwardly. "To love her, of course."

"…Hmph. That's what they all say."

Proving himself as a worthy son-in-law was a battle more difficult than facing ancient demons.

Teaching Martial Arts, Not Cultivation

As his son grew older, Chan Li saw potential in him. While his wife trained in martial arts, he secretly infused some of his knowledge into her teachings, adjusting them so they wouldn't be recognized as cultivation techniques.

One day, his son asked, "Father, how are you so strong?"

Chan Li chuckled. "Hard work."

Of course, that was only part of the truth.

Instead of introducing his family to cultivation, he chose to refine martial arts techniques for them, ensuring that they could grow powerful without attracting unwanted attention.

Tang Yu, a naturally talented martial artist, improved at an astonishing rate, and their son, Chan Lang, showed exceptional promise.

But Chan Li knew that eventually, trouble would come.

An Unknown Crisis Looms

While Chan Li enjoyed his peaceful life, shadows lurked in the background. Powerful factions in the Martial Sky World had taken notice of his family's rapid rise in strength. Whispers of Tang Yu's mysterious husband began circulating among the elite martial clans.

At the same time, an ancient force, long thought to be sealed away, began stirring. The Heavenly Martial Sect, an ancient order that once ruled the Martial Sky World, had caught wind of a certain anomaly Chan Li's existence.

Though he had kept a low profile, his mere presence was enough to shake the balance of the world.

Unbeknownst to him, his peaceful life was about to be tested.

But for now, Chan Li was content. Sitting in his courtyard, drinking tea, watching his wife train, and playing with his son, he smiled.

For the first time in ages, he felt truly… at peace.

Little did he know, his days of peace were numbered.
