The Gu family is renowned as one of the most powerful aristocratic families in the Ancient Mountain realm. A veritable behemoth.
At this time.
Heaven's Pillar City.
Inside a certain luxurious villa in the Gu family's land, a young man with glistering white hair is sitting.
Serene is the scene. His hair strands moved in a rhythm along with the wind, moonlight reflecting a slight glow on his skin, making him look like an immortal king who was banished from ninth heaven down to this dusty world.
The eyelids flutter slightly. With a sudden deep and powerful aura spreading that bends the mere fabric of time and space, he opens his deep abyss-like dark eyes.
'Where the hell is this?'
'I couldn't have drank too much JD Cola and gotten myself kidnapped, right? But why would someone put me in this weird ass room after kidnapping? And where are the ropes?'
For the first time, it seemed to Dynn that he was utterly baffled by the development in front of him.
Slightly frowning he started to unlock a few memories, that were... his but... not his.
'Aha! Transmigration!'
As a novel lover of the 21st century, he wasn't surprised. But just a little hesitant.
'Guess I won't be able to enjoy the new BMW I bought. No scratch that, what about the hot cougar... ahem... mature lady that was hitting on me?! Damn, only if I knew I was gonna transmigrate so soon!'
It seemed to Dynn that he didn't have much of a wild emotion he should have had.
No. It's rather as if... it doesn't matter to him. Nothing... matters to him.
The world he is in right now is a cultivation world. More precisely, a cultivation world with different levels, similar to the fantasy worlds with dragons and demons.
But rather than levels like 1 to 100, the levels here are called different names. Each level is called... ah yes, a realm.
'Well, it matches with the novels I read before on Earth. But the names sound much more intriguing.'
The cultivation realms are: Body Refining, Qi Gathering, Foundation Realm, Golden Core, Soul Sea, Purple Mansion, Nascent Soul, Nirvana, Phantom Transformation, Void Refinement, Profound Core, Dao Rhyme, Dao Palace, Heavenly Palace, Half-step Saint... and so on.
His current realm is terrifyingly high, already at Profound Core Realm at merely 21 years of age, making him truly worthy of being the leader of the young generation of cultivators in this world.
Not to mention his background, the Gu family. A veritable aristocratic family with a history spanning billions of years, to the very beginning of this world.
It needs to be mentioned that cultivators in this world can also live for millions of years if their cultivation is high enough.
'It seems like a good start. But... I shouldn't be the protagonist. There simply isn't much to do when you're already so good at everything. Where would be the plot?'
"Tuck tuck tuck"
A few steps. Somebody is approaching.
With the door opening comes the view of a majestic and awe-inspiring man. He has white hair just like Gu Dynn, sharing a 90% similarity in their appearance. It is rumored that white glistering hair is the unique characteristic of every Gu family descendant.
But what is terrifying is that the space around him seems unstable, as if this world cannot withstand his mere presence, and would crumble at his unintentional bursts of aura at any moment.
"Dynn, my child, how long are you going to practice?", said the middle-aged handsome man who came in, with a slight warm smile.
"Dad, didn't I tell you to knock first before coming in? What if you see something you shouldn't?"
Dynn really thought, 'WTH, it's the same in every world!'
"Brat, who's house is this? Mine or yours? And who cleaned your shit when you were young?", even though he said it in a harsh tone, his face had an expression of amusement, as if he enjoyed annoying this brilliant child of his.
'Obviously my gorgeous maid aunts.' Dynn muttered in his mind. But nothing could be guessed from his still placid expression.
"Okay, I got important news for you, listen up. Lately, the 64th Ancestor has done a divination that our world's will, meaning the Heavenly Dao, has become quite erratic. It seems like the golden age has come. Now, countless sons of heaven and genius cultivators will emerge."
But at this time, Dynn started frowning slightly, as if he was remembering something, yet, couldn't put his finger on it.
'Could it be I have lost some memories while transmigration?'
"We got some news of a pretty good secret realm in a lower realm."
Before he could continue, Dynn interjected, "And do we, Gu family, really need a secret realm?"
After all, they were already at the top of the food chain, what else did they need?
"Shut up, let me finish." with a look he said slowly, "They found an artifact that is at least of immortal king realm."
"It cannot be that simple. Why in the lower world where even birds don't go to take a shit?" as if calculating the secrets of the world and brewing something cold and evil, his eyes turned eerily dark.
"That's right, so we just asked the ancestor to destroy that lower world and extract the secret realm. It's currently a bit far from our mansion."
Gu Dynn didn't feel too surprised. From the memories he could already tell how outrageous the Gu family was.
Hm? Wait, isn't this the unruly and above-laws nature of villain forces?
But Father Gu kept preaching, "Although we extracted the secret realm and put it in our backyard, as an Immortal King Artifact has its own will, there is a chance it will self-destruct if forcibly tried to capture it."
"So, you want me to get it?"
"Yep. Anyways, you're lying around here."
"I was practicing."
"What? Jerking off?"
At this time, Gu Dynn had a weird feeling of frustration, but just a tiny bit.
"Okay, don't forget, the Ancestor is finishing things up. You and others from our Gu family will enter in 2 weeks time."
The room again ushered in its long-lost silence and serenity.
'Why this world? What am I forgetting?'
This has been what was in Dynn's mind all this time. What is an Immortal King artifact worth to the Gu Family? This is merely his father lying the foundation for his reputation as the young master and future head of the Gu family.
Only by proving his worth step by step can he gain the favor of the Ancestors.
But, to Dynn, even that wasn't all that important.
Digesting all the memories gave birth to all kinds of schem... proud ideas in his head. All for gaining more power.
The room was silent. But at this moment in time, a light glow suddenly came right through the outer guarding formation of his room that even individuals at the Immortal Ancestor realm would have a tough time breaking through.
The light orb came through the roof as if nothing in this world could stop it. And it's direction was Gu Dynn.
Nobody noticed it.
The world was silent.
...
"Are you playing with me you little shit?" said Dynn staring at the orb flying towards him with one eyebrow raised.
...
...
...
The world was silent.
