Techniques had not always existed like they did now.
In the earliest eras, survival itself was extremely difficult. The threats posed by demonic beasts, illness, and natural calamities were far greater than they are now. Humanity lived on the edge of extinction.
It was during such an age that the first Immortal Emperor was born.
He was called a Child of Destiny. He was the one who created techniques and spread cultivation, uniting the people and ushering in change that overturned the balance of the world.
Humanity went from being hunted to becoming the hunters.
But human nature was cruel and selfish. What had once been a means to survive slowly turned into a means for slaughter, a tool to satisfy personal greed and ego.
