Neave is not a cultivator. He has vowed to never step foot onto the martial path of death and destruction. Instead he will do anything it takes to defy his father and become a scholar. Desperation and resolve lead him to a dark secret of the sect. A book.

One he should have never touched.

After living through a hellish loop for umpteen years, he finally returns to the premises of the Zearthorn sect.

In a realm where cultivators, gods, devils, monsters and ineffable beings from beyond reality embody world ending apocalypses...

He may just be the greatest one.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jester:

Jester's privilege:

Jester's privilege is the ability and right of a jester to talk and mock freely without being punished. As an acknowledgement of this right, the court jester had symbols denoting their status and protection under the law: the crown (cap and bells) and scepter (marotte), mirroring the royal crown and scepter wielded by a monarch.[14][15]

Martin Luther used jest in many of his criticisms against the Catholic Church.[16] In the introduction to his To the Christian Nobility of the German Nation, he calls himself a court jester, and, later in the text, he explicitly invokes the jester's privilege when saying that monks should break their chastity vows.[16]
