Tianxu Realm
In the beginning of time, mortals discovered that, depending on their breathing techniques, sword training, martial arts, or any kind of martial practice, they could prolong their lives. They discovered immortal cultivation.
When mortals discovered cultivation, the existence of powerful monsters in the world was explained through this practice. They also uncovered many other mysteries, such as the tribulations encountered when passing through each stage of cultivation.
Over the millennia, cultivation was divided into realms:
* Mortal Realm
* Refinement Realm
* Foundation Building Realm
* Golden Core Realm
* Turbulence Realm
* Superior Realm
* Mahayana Realm
* Immortal Realm
This was the classification created for cultivation in the Mortal Realm.
In this world, strength determines who you are and how much authority you hold. In other words, the stronger you are, the more respect you receive.
And among these immortal cultivators was Zhen Luoxian, a "mortal" selling skewers at the market...
"Another slow day... I've only sold two so far," Zhen Luoxian sighed wearily, looking at the skewers that were already almost cold. His mind began to wander. "Will I ever find a way to make real money?"
Zhen Luoxian was different from the other people in this world. He was a transmigrator from Earth...
...
[12 years ago]
"Where am I...?" Zhen Luoxian whispered, confused, as he crossed the mysterious blue portal that had appeared in his room.
"Is this real? Did I... Did I transmigrate? Am I in another world?!" he exclaimed, almost incredulous but with a glint of excitement in his eyes. "Haha, that's right! Yes!"
"Did I get a system? Like in the books I've read?" he murmured, with a hopeful smile.
SILENCE
"Hey, where are you, system? I'm a transmigrator; everyone gets a system, so come on out!"
SILENCE
"I can't believe it... I'm screwed," Zhen Luoxian shook his head, already picturing himself in trouble without any support in this new world.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
He was now in a desolate plain, completely alone, when a sound broke the deafening silence...
DING DING DING
"Ah, finally!" he exclaimed, relieved.
"Welcome, host, to the omnipotent system."
"AHHH, DON'T YOU THINK YOU TOOK TOO LONG? I WAS ALMOST GIVING UP HERE!"
"The time to link with the host was longer than expected due to the fact that the host is extremely fragile."
Zhen Luoxian fell to the ground, dejected, thinking, 'Am I made of glass or something?'
But he soon perked up, raising his fist:
"Okay, I'm fragile now, but not for long! I'm going to become strong and dominate this world with my omnipotent system!"
PFPF The system let out a sound that seemed like laughter.
Zhen Luoxian frowned, confused.
"Hey, system, why are you laughing?"
"Host, this is an immortal cultivation world, as you’ve probably read in many novels, right?" asked the system, with a hint of irony in its voice.
Zhen Luoxian nodded eagerly:
"Of course I know! I've read so many cultivation novels that I could write one myself!"
"In this world, to cultivate, you need a spiritual path. Unfortunately, the host does not possess one."
Zhen Luoxian was stunned by this revelation. But he didn’t want to give up.
"Wait a minute, but with you by my side, system, I can still get strong, right?"
...
"Right?"
"The system will give you missions and assist you as much as possible."
"So, eventually, I’ll become the strongest, right?"
"The system will give you missions and assist you as much as possible..."
...
After that, the system accompanied Zhen Luoxian in activities such as planting seeds, playing instruments, and other tasks... For 12 long years.
[Back to the present]
Now this useless system wants me to sell skewers... Seriously? After everything, I still haven’t become stronger...
Do I have to keep living like this?
...
"Excuse me, could I buy a skewer?"
Zhen Luoxian, still a bit lost in his thoughts, looked up and saw a stunning woman with long white hair and purple eyes. He was speechless for a moment, until he finally managed to respond:
"S-s-sure, here it is, it costs 1g."
In this world, money is different, calculated in energy stones: 1g for a low-quality stone, 2g for medium, 3g for high, and 4g for excellent.
The woman paid and turned, making her beautiful white hair flutter in the wind, while Zhen Luoxian continued to admire her with a reddened face. Although he had experience with women, he was nervous because he came from Earth, where young and beautiful women with white hair and purple eyes were not common.
"What's relatively common in this world, after all, depending on the type of cultivation, it reflects in the eyes," he thought. "But she must still be in the Mortal Realm if she needs to eat, or maybe she just likes to eat..."
In the world of immortals, eating is no longer necessary; they could easily use internal energy to satisfy their hunger, unless they were still in the Mortal Realm and didn’t have enough control over their internal energy...
Zhen Luoxian was still lost in thought...
"Who was that beauty? Ahh, it's not my concern; she must be from a big sect." "But she was really SO BEAUTIFUL."
Zhen Luoxian began to prepare to close his stall and go home to end the day, meanwhile...
The woman’s name was Mei Lianxue, at the peak of the Mortal Realm. As she walked away, she took a bite of the skewer she bought from Zhen Luoxian. With that bite, something amazing happened...
