The Twisted Path to Power

It had been three long days since the incident, and while Zhang Wei's body had healed from the physical injuries, his soul was still in shambles. He had lost his dignity that day, and it was a wound that might never fully heal. Despite the passing time, he couldn't shake off the feeling of shame and humiliation that had come with the beating.

During this time, he was left alone. No one called upon him for work, and it seemed that even Madam Chi, the one responsible for his pain, knew that he needed time to recover. But Zhang Wei was not grateful for her consideration. He couldn't forget that it was she who had harmed him in the first place.

As he lay in solitude, his mind grew clear. He saw the world in a different light now, and it wasn't pretty. The so-called noble and good people had shown their true colors. He realized that without power, people were treated as less than animals. He couldn't help but laugh at his own foolishness. In his this life as a blind beggar, he had endured much mistreatment and harm, all while telling himself that it was because of his blindness. But now he knew better.

In this world, there was no distinction between a blind beggar and any other person. If one had no power or background, their life was worth nothing to others. Zhang Wei had been naive to believe otherwise.

He had once vowed to cultivate the Nameless Dual Cultivation technique without causing harm to others. He had even thought of refraining himself from cultivating the five taboo techniques out of a sense of morality. But that was before. Now he saw things differently. He had witnessed firsthand the miserable fate that befell good people like Liu Ming.

Zhang Wei was done with being good. He wanted to live for himself, to become stronger and show the world that he was not to be trifled with. He would cultivate the Nameless Dual Cultivation technique and the five taboo techniques as well. Nothing would hold him back.

His mind had been twisted by the recent events, leaving him feeling more alive than ever before. Though the incident had shattered his body and soul, it had also ignited a fire within him. A fire fueled by both hatred and an insatiable desire for power. He had always been treated as if he were beneath others, kicked around like a worthless dog. But now, he was determined to show everyone who was truly in control. He chuckled darkly to himself, savoring the feeling of his newfound power.

No longer did he seek revenge against those who had wronged him and Liu Ming. He had come to believe that what had been done to them was justified and that the powerful should have the right to do as they please. Revenge was a pitiful emotion that only the weak pursued. His goal was far greater than that - he craved domination. And he would stop at nothing to achieve it.

He knew from his studies of the library that most of the mortal families with ties to the immortal world were just branches of powerful immortal families who ruled a certain region of the mortal world. The main goal of these branches was to supply new blood and resources that could only be found in the mortal world. And the main family would spend a significant amount of resources on them.

Zhang Wei knew he had a treasure chest, but he lacked the key to unlock its full potential. The five taboo techniques were his ticket to power, but they required resources that he simply could not afford. But he was not disheartened, for he had a plan. A plan that would not only give him access to the resources he needed but also give him control over those who had wronged him

Zhang Wei thought to himself, "I may be poor, but the Chi family is not. Why don't I take control of their resources?"

He laughed sinisterly, thinking to himself, "Since they treat me like a dog, I'll be a dog. But I won't be a loyal one."

As Zhang Wei's mind was consumed with evil thoughts, he began to form a sinister plan for his future. Having read countless history books in his previous life, he knew that greatness was often synonymous with beauty, war, and wealth. Those who achieved greatness had either gone to war for the sake of beauty or wealth, or they would not have achieved it at all. This principle held true even in this strange new world that he found himself in.

Zhang Wei understood that in order to achieve greatness in his cultivation, he needed wealth, but he was poor and lacked the means to gain it. However, he had a way to gain beauty. The nameless dual cultivation technique, once used by Xia Leiyan to make many women his slaves, could be his ticket to achieving both beauty and wealth. The women of the Chi family were renowned for their beauty and wealth, and if he could enslave them to his desires, he could not only enjoy their beauty but also gain the resources he needed for his cultivation.

As he fantasized about his future success, he laughed maniacally at the thought of having Madam Chi and every woman in the family kneel before him. He knew that his plan was evil, but he didn't care. His mind was consumed with a twisted logic that justified his actions as necessary for his own greatness. And as he plotted his evil scheme, he felt a rush of excitement at the thought of the power he would wield over those who had once treated him like a mere dog.
