The world of cultivation in Renegade Immortal (仙逆) is unforgiving. On Suzaku Star, raw talent does not guarantee a glorious future. Five exceptional prodigies emerged, each shining brightly for a moment. Yet one by one, they fell—broken by their own flaws, manipulated by dark forces, or crushed by the unstoppable rise of Wang Lin (王林), the story’s protagonist. Their fates offer a bitter lesson: in the pursuit of immortality, character matters as much as cultivation. Let us examine what went wrong for each of them.
Fatal Pride
Hong Die (红蝶) was the undisputed genius of her generation. She mastered techniques with terrifying speed and possessed a cold, proud heart. Her path seemed destined for the stars. But she made one fatal error—she challenged Wang Lin. After her defeat, she became a mere furnace for a darker cultivator named Qian Feng (乾风). Her immense talent, which could have reshaped the heavens, was instead drained away. She became a fleeting firework, brilliant for an instant then gone forever.
Hu Pao (虎咆) had even greater raw potential than Hong Die. He once followed Wang Lin faithfully, receiving generous guidance. But paranoia poisoned his mind. Believing Wang Lin had abandoned him, Hu Pao embraced the whispers of a rogue demon. He grew arrogant and reckless, devouring a forbidden technique called the One Moment Art. That power burned him from the inside. He even dreamed of becoming the Demon Emperor. When he finally stood against Wang Lin, he was given a single chance to turn back. He refused. His end was self-made—a classic case of biting the hand that once fed him.
Loyalty Rewarded
Shi San (十三) once served as Wang Lin’s personal guard, alongside Hu Pao. Unlike the latter, Shi San never questioned his master’s intentions. He accepted every cultivation method Wang Lin offered, including the brutal body-tempering art of the giant demon race (巨魔族). He trained with relentless dedication. While others schemed, Shi San simply worked. That discipline paid off in ways no one expected.
After a reincarnation, Shi San was reborn on the Immortal Gang (罡) Continent under the new name Wang Shi. Wang Lin trusted him completely, sharing profound secrets and techniques. With those tools and his own innate gift for cultivation, Shi San rose to become a major power of the Third Step. For a boy who started as a village native in the demon lands, his journey is a stunning contrast to the tragic fates of his former peers. Loyalty, it seems, can surpass talent.
Cursed Emotions
Liu Mei (柳眉) was a rare female genius, excelling in both power and mental fortitude. She specialized in the Thousand Illusions Heartless Path, a discipline so potent that even the ancient cultivator Huan Wuqing (幻无情) coveted her spiritual conception. She could have transcended mortal limits. But hatred for Wang Lin consumed her. She nurtured a cursed child, Wang Ping, tying herself to an endless cycle of cause and effect. Her brilliance faded into obsession, and she perished in regret. Yet the karmic thread was not fully cut—because Liu Mei was merely an avatar of a deeper entity, Mu Bingmei (木冰眉).
Sun Yun (孙云) hid his genius behind a cautious mask. His deductive abilities and inferential skills were extraordinary. After receiving a legacy from the ancient demon Beiluo (古妖贝罗), he used pure insight to create powerful divine abilities. His future looked bright, and even Beiluo praised him. But Sun Yun could not escape the schemes of Tian Yunzi (天运子), a manipulative old monster. In a cruel twist, the master devoured the student. Sun Yun’s talent and cultivation became another’s feast. His story is perhaps the most heartbreaking—not because of hatred or pride, but because he was simply a pawn in someone else’s game.
