Building a Martial Sect in a Fantasy World: Starting with Immortality
Penguin_Laze
"Titans, Dragons, and Elves rule this world. While magical force determines worth, being born without it means living nameless, hopeless, and forgotten."

Immortality means nothing without power.
High Elves govern the ancient forests, commanding earth and sky with devastating magic. Their palaces reach toward heaven, their authority unchallenged for millennia.
Then there's Xu Xin.
Reborn as a High Elf after a humble life as a Taoist priest, he arrives with memories intact but magic absent—an unprecedented failure among divine-blooded immortals.
Relegated to quarters within another's palace, he makes a simple choice: return to what he knows.
"I can dedicate myself to martial arts again."
The path of cultivation unfolds differently when measured in centuries rather than decades. Where others seek shortcuts to power, Xu Xin embraces the slow refinement of body and spirit.
One hundred years of Tai Chi Fist. Sixty years of Three Talents Energy Cultivation. Another sixty of Primordial Unity Breath Kung Fu.
And something remarkable happens—his spirit undergoes ten condensations, shattering limits thought impossible in his previous world.
When he casually tosses a Titan warrior with bare hands, even the eldest High Elves stare in disbelief.
But his true purpose reveals itself when he meets those children—'nameless' elves born without magic, destined for short lives of despair.
In their abandoned faces, he sees himself—the orphan in the marketplace.
Now, with the Divine Tree's blessing, he builds not a palace but a sect. Not for subjects, but for disciples.

Warning: Contains Titan-shattering sword techniques, centuries-spanning cultivation, a protagonist who walks into dragons' mouths (literally), philosophical Taoist wisdom, and enough patient determination to make you wonder if being "magicless" might actually be the greatest gift.
A protagonist who turns abandonment into purpose... even if it takes five hundred years.
Spoiler alert: Immortality has its perks.
For those who love methodical cultivation and building something meaningful, this one's for you.
If you're looking for quick power-ups and flashy magic, look elsewhere.
This one's about finding joy in the journey and creating a path for those who have none.
