2026-08-11 05:21:17“Young Master?” Chris’s voice pulled him back. “You have been quiet for a long time.”
Jasper shook his head. “I’m fine. Just… remembering.”
Chris and Victor exchanged worried glances.
“We should return you to the estate,” Chris said kindly. “You need rest. That fall was harder than we thought.”
Victor nodded eagerly. “Yes! Allow us to assist you, my lord.”
The two attendants supported Jasper on either side as they made their way out of the training arena and through the courtyard toward the Stonehart estate. Jasper’s new body felt weak and unsteady, and every step required effort while his mind raced.
So I’m really inside Path of the Heavenly Sword Emperor. I’m the weak third son of a doomed noble family. The protagonist will soon begin his rise, and the Stonehart Family is destined to become nothing more than a stepping stone.
I need to change that. I need to survive. I need to—
DING! DING! DING!
A sharp sound rang inside his head like a temple bell. Jasper froze mid-step, his eyes widening as a glowing blue screen appeared in the air before him. Neither Chris nor Victor seemed to notice it; they continued speaking softly to each other while words formed on the screen:
CONNECTING TO HOST…
CONNECTION SUCCESSFUL. WELCOME, HOST.Jasper’s heart pounded. A system? I actually got a system?
More text appeared:
BLINDLESS SOVEREIGN SYSTEM ACTIVATED.
YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO BECOME THE SOVEREIGN OF ALL REALMS.
REWARDS WILL BE GRANTED BASED ON YOUR ACTIONS AND ACHIEVEMENTS.
Jasper’s mind went blank for a moment. A system just like in the web novels he used to read—a powerful cheat that could help him grow stronger—yet the name felt strange.
“Blindless Sovereign System…?” he whispered under his breath. Why “Blindless”?
He continued reading:
THIS IS A REWARD-BASED SYSTEM.
NO MISSIONS WILL BE ASSIGNED. REWARDS WILL BE GRANTED WHEN THE HOST TAKES MEANINGFUL ACTIONS. LIVE YOUR LIFE. MAKE YOUR CHOICES. GROW STRONGER.It was not a quest-driven system. There was no annoying voice forcing him to complete tasks; he would simply be rewarded for living and making decisions on his own terms, and that was actually preferable.
Then new text appeared:
BEGINNER PACKAGE AVAILABLE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO OPEN IT?A glowing treasure chest icon appeared on the screen.
“Yes,” Jasper whispered.
OPENING BEGINNER PACKAGE…
The chest burst open with radiant light and two rewards appeared:
REWARD 1: BEGINNER CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE — SILENT RIVER BREATHING METHOD.
REWARD 2: ETERNAL GRADE BLINDFOLD — EYES OF THE VOID.Jasper stared at the second item. A blindfold?
An image of the item floated above the text—a sleek black cloth embroidered with glowing silver runes.
Item Name: Eye of the Void
Grade: Eternal (Divine Artifact) Type: Relic / Blindfold Description: A relic born from something that was never meant to be seen.In the primordial darkness before Heaven mapped the realms, there existed a creature of pure Chaos. It was an entity so ancient that neither space nor time could fully anchor its presence. It was not killed, for concepts of mortality did not apply to it. Instead, ancient powers tore away its sight, casting its endless gaze to drift aimlessly between the thinning seams of reality.Woven from dusk-thread and stained with the dried blood of that void-born creature, this blindfold binds the remaining essence of those stolen eyes. It feels weightless against the skin, yet wearing it presses against the skull with a heavy, suffocating weight.
To wear the Eye of the Void is to abandon ordinary perception and risk inheriting something far worse.
Jasper read the description twice. He needed to know the item’s abilities, so he looked at the two men beside him, smiled, and told them he wanted to rest.
“I can make it to my room alone,” he said. “Please, go ahead.”
Chris and Victor hesitated, but Jasper waved them off. They bowed and walked away.
Jasper was at the outer edge of the estate and did not want to walk all the way back to his room before checking his new system, so instead he entered the cultivation room nearby. The Stonehart Family may have looked small, but they had power, and their cultivation rooms had high spiritual energy.
He stepped inside and closed the door. The room was simple—a stone floor, wooden walls, and a small incense burner in the corner. He sat down on a cushion and called the system in his mind. A blue screen appeared before him with the beginner rewards still displayed.
The first reward was a cultivation breathing technique, but he did not plan to check that yet. He wanted to see more on the second item, the blindfold, and its abilities, so he continued reading:
Abilities:
Item Ability 1: Void Perception (Passive) The wearer glimpses beyond the veil of reality. Flesh, stone, distance, and arrays lose all distinction. The flow of spiritual energy and the bare structure of existence become fully visible. Illusions unravel and deceptions collapse before a gaze that sees all things in their truest form. Nothing can hide. Nothing can lie. Yet no mortal mind was ever meant to see the world so nakedly.Item Ability 2: Silent Cultivation (Active)
The Eye turns its void inward. Without absorbing a single strand of external Qi, the wearer’s spiritual foundation is driven through unnatural refinement, drawing power directly from the echoing silence of Chaos. While active, all earthly senses are severed. Sight, sound, touch, and thought plunge into absolute emptiness where only the cold, automated process of cultivation remains.Jasper stared at the screen. This meant he did not need to cultivate like everyone else. This blindfold was a cheat—a real cheat.
He let out a slow breath and leaned back against the wall. His head still throbbed, but for the first time since waking up in this body, he felt something other than fear.
He felt hope.

Chapter 26 A Gift and a Cage
A cold wind swept through the frozen clearing as night settled over the land. Ice spread across the earth in slow, creeping patterns while deep cracks split the ground like veins beneath ancient skin. Even the air felt cold and strange.At the edge of the clearing, a young woman rested against the trunk of a tree that had long since frozen solid. Her dark hair spilled over her shoulders, and her eyes remained peacefully closed. She possessed the same beauty as a frozen lake—quiet, untouchable, and dangerous.Gwen's breathing was slow and steady. Despite the freezing landscape surrounding her, an unnatural calm lingered around her body, making it seem as though she had become part of the endless winter itself. Beside her rested her katana. The blade was completely encased in opaque white frost.Then… a faint crack appeared then another followed. Hairline fractures raced across the frozen shell before multiplying at an astonishing speed.Crack… Crack… Crack…The ice exploded into count
Chapter 25 Blood on the Floor
Aris looked over his new student—the one he'd chosen… or forced into becoming his disciple, depending on who was telling the story. If Jasper were the one telling it, he'd calmly explain that he'd been backed into a corner. Aris was a Spiritual Master Phase expert, while Jasper was barely in the Mortal Phase. What kind of choice was that?But there was one thing Aris didn't know. Jasper was no pushover. In his previous life, he'd been a rising actor in Hollywood. Even before the false murder accusations destroyed everything, that world had never been kind to naïve people. Backstabbing, manipulation, smiling faces hiding sharpened knives—he had survived that ruthless industry for years before it finally swallowed him whole.Now he had been thrown into an even crueler world, where cultivators could erase a person's existence with a single thought. If he wanted to survive, he needed a plan. Unfortunately, every path he considered led to the same dead end. He couldn't fight. Even if hi
Chapter 24 A New Roommate
On the restaurant's second floor, a lone guard leaned heavily against the balcony railing, staring down at the dining hall with wide, disbelieving eyes.His face had gone pale.Three assassins. Three peak Mortal Phase experts, hired specifically for this mission. Now they lay unconscious on the polished wooden floor. The man who had defeated them wasn't even breathing hard. He hadn't used a single thread of Chaos Energy. Only his bare hands and flawless movement.The guard's fingers tightened around the wooden railing until the hardwood groaned beneath his grip. This wasn't how things were supposed to happen. His young master had made it perfectly clear. Jasper Stoneheart—the third son of the Stoneheart family—was a useless waste of space with no talent, no influence, and certainly no powerful protectors. So why… why did someone like that appear at his side?A cultivator capable of defeating three peak Mortal Phase experts without even drawing on Chaos Energy wasn't someone a mid-tie
Chapter 23 Three Against One, and It Wasn’t Close
Inside Aris's Chaos World, he stood before his spiritual guardian. Every Master Phase cultivator possessed a guardian within their inner world—a mysterious existence born from the moment they defied the heavens and stepped beyond mortality itself.After giving the masked figure a few quiet instructions, Aris watched as it bowed deeply before dissolving into the ever-shifting mist. Back in the real world, however, he simply continued eating as though nothing had happened.Jasper, Chris, and Victor sat frozen across the table, not one of them touching the feast spread before them. Aris, on the other hand, ate with complete ease. Invisible wisps of gray smoke slowly seeped from his body, drifting across the polished wooden floor between tables before slipping beneath chairs and silently climbing toward the ceiling. No one noticed.The smoke gathered above the restaurant roof, twisting together until it formed the outline of a tall figure wrapped in layered robes the color of fading mist.
Chapter 22 The Free Meal
Aris pushed open the restaurant's carved wooden doors, and the four of them stepped inside. Warmth embraced them immediately. The rich aroma of freshly grilled beast meat, fragrant spirit herbs, roasted spices, and simmering broth filled the air, blending into a scent so inviting that it made the bustling restaurant feel warm and alive.The dining hall was spacious, its polished wooden floor reflecting the gentle glow of spirit lanterns suspended from the ceiling. Thick cedar pillars, intricately carved with drifting clouds and soaring cranes, supported the upper floor, while silk banners embroidered with mountains and rivers hung gracefully between them.Rows of sturdy wooden tables filled the hall, occupied by travelers, merchants, wandering cultivators, and noble families enjoying their meals. Waiters moved effortlessly through the crowded room, balancing heavy trays piled with steaming dishes and clay wine jars without spilling a single drop. Laughter and conversation blended t
Chapter 21 Master Phase
At the heart of the capital's marketplace, Aris moved like a streak of lightning. He slipped effortlessly through the crowded streets, weaving between merchants, vaulting over stacked wooden crates, and disappearing into the flow of people as though he had become part of it.Chris stayed right on his heels. Despite his advanced age, the old servant matched every sudden turn without breaking a sweat, his robes fluttering only slightly as he chased after the mysterious stranger.Victor, however, wasn't nearly as fortunate. His breathing quickly grew ragged, and with every passing street he fell farther behind until he finally had to brace himself against a fruit stall, desperately trying to catch his breath before forcing his aching legs forward once more.The chase finally came to an abrupt halt inside a narrow stone alley was a dead end. Aris skidded across the worn pavement just as Chris appeared directly before him. Without saying a word, the old servant thrust his palm toward Aris
