1: Crossing the Xuanling Continent

For those who come across this book, may you immediately turn lucky, become rich, have everything go smoothly, and enjoy good health from this moment on.

The early plot requires some groundwork, so the pace is a bit slow. After a few dozen chapters, the pace will become faster and more exciting. Please, esteemed readers, persevere, add it to your bookshelf, and give it a five-star rating.

Some readers have told me that the power-leveling in the early stages is a bit slow. Let me explain: this is not a System novel after all. In the early stages, one is just starting to learn about martial arts, so groundwork is necessary. Around chapter 100, it will be an explosive period, striving to be like Emperor Ye Tian, soaring like a long rainbow.

"This... where is this?"

Ji Mo slowly awoke, feeling as if his head had been violently struck by a sledgehammer, making him grimace in pain.

He dazedly looked around, seeing a carved bed and an antique-decorated room.

No matter how he looked at it, it wasn't his rented apartment.

His mind buzzed. What was all this?

"Wasn't I at home playing 'Honor of Kings,' in a ranked promotion match?

Wait, did I Rebirth? And I even became the young master of the Ji Family in the Heavenly Dragon Empire?

Ji Chen diligently searched for the original owner's memories in his mind. A moment later, he finally understood the general situation.

The original owner was also named Ji Mo. This place was Wind City, in the Heavenly Dragon Empire on the Xuanling Continent. The Ji Family was one of the renowned great Families.

Ji Mo was originally a favored son of heaven, born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

His parents were Ji Yuan, the eldest son of the current Clan Chief of the Ji Family, and his wife, Su Yao.

With such status, he was like a moon surrounded by stars within the Ji Family.

Ji Yuan and Su Yao were the top Geniuses in Wind City back then.

After joining the Peerless Sect, they reached the ninth stage of the Houtian Realm in just a few years. Such talent shocked everyone.

However, the gears of fate began to turn mercilessly a few years ago.

Ji Mo's parents went out for an Opportunity, originally to Breakthrough their own Cultivation, but that trip led to their eternal separation.

According to investigations, the closest truth to the facts was that other great Families were behind it.

Especially the Zhang Family and Li Family, who were already sworn enemies of the Ji Family.

They feared that Ji Yuan's Breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm would bring disaster to their own Families.

Therefore, they colluded with those within the Peerless Sect who were hostile to Ji Yuan, and took advantage of Ji Yuan and his wife's outing to scheme and murder them.

Just after his parents passed away, his Clan Chief grandfather still protected this grandson.

However, after several years of Cultivation, other Disciples of the same age in the Family had already reached the third or fourth stage.

The original owner had only barely reached the second stage of the Houtian Realm. His Aptitude was truly hard to describe.

Gradually, his grandfather no longer focused on Ji Mo, and Ji Mo became a marginalized figure in the Ji Family.

As time passed, Ji Mo's uncles, coveting the position of Clan Chief, began to ostracize and suppress Ji Mo.

Most of the clansmen who used to greet Ji Mo with smiles also became cold and distant.

In the past two years, some Family Disciples even physically assaulted Ji Mo for some inexplicable reasons.

Ji Mo's Transmigration this time was due to his clansmen attacking him.

He suffered a head injury, which led to the Transmigration of Earth's Ji Mo.

This Xuanling Continent is a world where martial arts reign supreme; the strong can move mountains and fill seas, turning clouds and stirring rain.

Although the Ji Family has some foundation in Wind City of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, it is merely a low-ranking Family in the entire Heavenly Dragon Empire, let alone on the Xuanling Continent.

After absorbing the original owner's memories, the deepest obsession in his memory was revenge.

"Since I have taken over your body, your enemies are my enemies.

The Zhang Family, the Li Family, and those bastards from the Peerless Sect! I will make them pay for their blood debts. Rest in peace!"

At this moment, Ji Mo silently recited in his Soul.

Since I am here, I will make the best of it!

Since heaven has given me this Opportunity, I will make a name for myself on this Xuanling Continent!

Currently, the most important thing is to improve his own strength.

In this world where strength is respected, without strength, one can only be bullied.

However, this body's Aptitude is ordinary. Without a Heaven-Defying Opportunity, even survival might be a problem, let alone any grand revenge plan.

As a Transmigrator, Ji Mo instinctively felt that heaven should arrange a System for him.

After all, in those Transmigration novels, a System is the standard for the protagonist's comeback.

So, he eagerly called out in his mind:

"System Daddy, System Mommy, Brother System, Sister System, Grandpa System, Grandma System..."

He greeted the entire System Family, from top to bottom.

But reality was cruel; no matter how he called, there was no response.

"It seems, for now, I can only rely on myself, taking one step at a time!"

Ji Mo decided to go to the library first to understand this Cultivation world.

The library of a small Family was not a restricted area, and no one made things difficult for him.

He entered the pavilion and carefully flipped through the books.

Finally, he found a classic titled "Elementary Explanation of Xuanling Cultivation."

It contained some general introductions to Martial Artists.

Martial Artists are divided into Acquired and Innate. The Acquired Realm is divided into one to ten stages.

When an Acquired Martial Artist's Cultivation Breakthroughs to the tenth stage Great Perfection, they can attempt to enter the Xiantian Realm.

The status of Xiantian Martial Artists is still very high.

Take the Heavenly Dragon Empire, for example; Cultivation Sects are scattered everywhere.

Every Cultivation Sect possesses enormous power, ruling over many cities.

Wind City, where the Ji Family is located, is ruled by the Peerless Sect.

Every three years, the Peerless Sect sends powerful experts to Wind City to select Disciples with outstanding talent to join the Sect.

For the younger generation of Wind City, this is undoubtedly an excellent Opportunity, like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate.

Once selected by the Peerless Sect, their future might be smooth sailing.

After learning this information, a glimmer of hope ignited in Ji Mo's heart.

If he could enter the Peerless Sect, he might be able to access more Advanced Cultivation Techniques and richer Cultivation resources.

Thus, he could improve his strength faster and avenge his parents.

From his memories, he learned that there were still two and a half years until the next Peerless Sect recruitment day.

Based on previous successful candidates, at least a Houtian 5th stage Realm or above was required.

Ji Mo secretly pondered:

"For now, I can only take it one step at a time.

Logically speaking, how could such a bizarre event as Transmigration happen without a special Opportunity?

Perhaps there is some mysterious external force behind it.

If I want to take off, I must find my Golden Finger."

Ji Chen diligently searched for the original owner's memories in his mind. A moment later, he finally understood the general situation.
