The CopyCat Immortal
Ren, a young man considered trash in his sect due to his inability to cultivate, lives in the shadows of ridicule and ostracization. However, he harbors a secret both terrifying and extraordinary: every time he nearly dies from a technique, his body strangely absorbs and copies that technique permanently, making it his own. From simple fire punches to lethal holy sword strikes, or even destruction by legendary domains, Ren rises again with the enemy's power now a part of him. This unique condition transforms his suffering into a source of infinite power, propelling him from a loser into an unrivaled entity in the world of cultivation.
Ren's journey begins from the bottom, using his first "death" to master basic techniques he couldn't even learn before. With ingenuity and courage, he begins to strategically seek out greater "deaths," allowing himself to be struck by stronger and more dangerous techniques. Every "death" is a rebirth, every wound is a lesson, and every trauma is a power-up. His reputation as the "Copycat Immortal" begins to spread, though most only see him as a mysterious and terrifying cultivator, without understanding the true source of his power. He must face increasingly powerful enemies, from sect rivals to regional tyrants, and finally ancient forces that threaten the existence of the universe.
As time passes, Ren not only accumulates a vast arsenal of countless techniques but also begins to understand the true nature of his condition. Is it a curse, a blessing, or a cosmic anomaly? His quest takes him beyond the boundaries of the mortal world, challenging Gods and Demons, and uncovering conspiracies hidden for thousands of years. With every "death" that brings him closer to total destruction, Ren instead moves closer to the peak of immortality

Chapter: Chapter 107. Planting Seeds in the Fields of the SkyThe climb to the High Zenith didn’t involve ladders; it required an unsettling tolerance for heights that no longer existed according to any legitimate ledger. Li Mei wiped the slick, metallic grease from her palms, her eyes fixed on the floating islands that hovered like moss-covered debris above the sect. These weren’t geological leftovers; they were "orphan nodes"—discarded slices of virtual reality where celestial growth logic was still set to ‘active’ even though the server had already logged them off."I still hate how we're forced to commute like this," Kael wheezed, his metallic gait clattering against the loose logic-floe as he stepped over a hole in existence that lead nowhere. "We could've just coded a shortcut. But no, 'Safety First' Mei said we need to do the legwork so the celestial radar stays dead. My knees are already reporting an 85 percent fatigue rate.""Keep it zipped, Kael," Li Mei said, her breath turning into small clouds of amethyst condensation. "Th

Chapter: Chapter 106. Fractured RealityThe heavens didn’t crack with thunder; they split with the screech of metal being dragged across silk. It was a cold, clinical noise—one that set the teeth of every cultivator in the courtyard on edge. The sky above the Azure Cloud Sect was no longer blue or even the hopeful indigo left by Ren. It had become a checkerboard of void and beige, a shifting matrix of "Deleted" segments trying to overwrite a thriving neighborhood.Chapter 105. The Forbidden Script of the Ancient Era"The server’s puking," Kael spat, adjusting his goggles as he braced his boots against the tiles. He aimed his pulse-rail toward a massive fracture above the Archive Hall. "They aren't even here for a duel. They're basically just trying to empty the recycle bin while we’re still inside it.""Everyone! Link to the stability buffer!" Li Mei’s voice boomed over the whine of dying physics. Her indigo scars were humming now, a frantic, glowing cadence that synced with her racing heart. She could see them in

Chapter: Chapter 105. The Forbidden Script of the Ancient EraThe iron chest in the heart of the void didn’t have a lock; it had an interface. It was a primitive, brutal construction—heavy forged basalt mixed with "God-Slayer" alloy, pulsing with a rhythmic violet glow that synced perfectly with the decay of the surrounding memory-repositories. Li Mei stared at it, her boots clicking softly against the floor of unreality. Beside her, the former deity, now acting as the repository's unofficial librarian, looked genuinely pale for an entity composed entirely of static."You really don’t want to be anywhere near this, kid," the Librarian muttered, retreating behind a wall of corrupted data-streams. "That box isn't just hardware. It’s an ideological kill-switch. Everything you, the Azure Cloud, and Ren fought for? The freedom to grow? The right to edit? It’s all based on the premise that a ‘bad script’ can be overwritten. That chest contains the logic for a Hard Delete.""A Hard Delete?" Li Mei didn’t lower her guard. The encroaching

Chapter: Chapter 104. Encounter with the Cast-Off AnomalyThe void was a graveyard of abandoned subroutines. Somewhere in the deep-memory architecture of the Azure Cloud periphery, Li Mei sat on the edge of a data-fragment that looked, smelled, and felt exactly like a jagged precipice hanging over an infinite, starless abyss. Beside her, a silhouette flickered. It wasn’t a person, exactly—it was an anomaly that had once been a mid-tier deity of "Perfect Stasis," back before Ren turned the cosmos into a giant spreadsheet. Now, it was a glitchy mess of pixelated divinity, sitting on the precipice and idly throwing balls of white light into the nothingness."You’re one of them, aren't you?" the anomaly asked. Its voice shifted from masculine to feminine every second. "The ones who talk to the ghost in the sky.""I talk to myself, mostly," Li Mei replied, rubbing the bridge of her nose. The blue scars on her palms throbbed with a cold, insistent frequency. "Why are you here? My sensors marked this coordinate as a purged-file repository. You sho

Chapter: Chapter 103: Testing the Limits of the Spiritual CodeThe hum of the Azure Cloud Sect was no longer the steady drone of meditative chants. It was a digital shiver, a vibration of latent potential that resonated against the teeth of everyone who walked the plaza.Li Mei stood on the edge of the newly dubbed "Stability Basin," an area where reality often buffered before loading local physics. She held a block of inert iron. According to the old manuals, this was meant for smithing. According to the "Open Source" protocols left behind by Ren, this was merely a bundle of stubborn molecular code that simply hadn't been told it could be anything else."Stop staring at it like you’re waiting for it to recite a poem, Mei," Kael shouted from the balcony, his feet propped up on a railing made of reinforced light-lattices. He looked bored, the way a master weapon-smith might watch a toddler fumble with a hammer. "You’re looking for a reaction. Stop asking for permission and start drafting the patch."Li Mei narrowed her eyes, sweat pr

Chapter: Chapter 102: The Rift Behind the Azure CloudsThe ruins of the Azure Cloud Sect no longer groaned under the weight of ghosts. In the three years since Ren—the boy who had been a copycat, a god-killer, and finally an infrastructure—vanished into the static of existence, the site had transformed. It wasn't just a training ground anymore; it was an epicenter. The stone slabs of the old main plaza were polished not by manual labor, but by the persistent, ambient hum of Ren’s leftover logic. A group of teenagers, wearing the frayed blue coats that had become a universal badge of the ‘Freelance Path,’ stood in the center. They weren't using swords. They were looking at their own palms, feeling for that thin, indigo shimmer Ren had baked into the planet’s atmosphere. "It’s not in your veins," a voice echoed from the shadowed archway of the old Archive Hall. "It’s in the background processing." Elder Zhou stepped out, his back straighter than it had been when he was a prime master decades ago. He watched t
