Parallel World, Great Xia Country.
Tianhai City.
A young man dressed in ancient clothing, his body covered in blood and his face extremely pale, suddenly appeared inside a mid-range apartment unit.
After appearing, the young man kept stuffing pills into his mouth one after another.
No one knew where these pills came from; it was as if they appeared out of thin air in his hands.
After taking an unknown number of pills, the young man finally stopped.
His previously pale face had now regained a rosy complexion.
The young man's name was Ye Yang. He was a lucky person who thought he had activated the protagonist template and was about to ascend to immortality and become an immortal ancestor.
Three months ago, Ye Yang was wandering through the Tianhai City night market. Passing by an antique street, he bought a mirror from a vendor's stall.
Normally, Ye Yang would never buy anything at an antique street.
In his view, antique streets did not have the "bargains" often seen in or TV dramas.
Those hoping to find bargains were really just paying an intelligence tax.
Who on an antique street would be a fool?
Wouldn't they have better judgment than ordinary people?
If they suspected something was a treasure, wouldn't they authenticate it themselves?
But for some reason, three months ago, when Ye Yang passed that antique stall, he inexplicably stopped and spent half of his savings—nearly a hundred thousand—to buy a mirror that looked like a modern craft piece.
The day after buying it, Ye Yang noticed his world had undergone an earth-shattering change.
The Earth was still the same Earth.
His savings were still the same savings.
The direction of the world was still the same.
But his country had undergone a staggering change.
His country had turned into one called Great Xia.
A dynasty with a history of five thousand years under imperial rule, with only the emperor changed but the country's name never altered.
Upon discovering this astonishing change, Ye Yang immediately thought of the mirror he had bought yesterday.
Before buying the mirror, the country was the old country.
After buying the mirror, his world changed.
And only he noticed this change.
Ye Yang deliberately searched online.
No one else mentioned any changes in the world except him.
When Ye Yang wanted to study how the mirror changed his world, the mirror suddenly transformed into a white light and entered his mind.
The moment the mirror entered his mind, its functions appeared in Ye Yang's consciousness.
The mirror could open a space-time portal and allow him to enter unknown worlds.
Upon seeing this ability, Ye Yang immediately thought of countless featuring world-crossing protagonists.
Traveling between worlds?
At that moment, Ye Yang felt he had activated the protagonist template from those .
With the ability to shuttle between worlds, he could easily use resources from two worlds to become a top figure.
Thousands of beauties, surrounded by power — all within reach.
Without hesitation, Ye Yang quit his job and prepared to begin his "world-crossing tycoon" career.
After naming the mirror the Kunlun Mirror, inspired by mythological stories with similar powers, Ye Yang carried a backpack full of modern resources and opened the space-time gate to enter another world.
Upon entering the other world, Ye Yang's starting point was a wilderness resembling a deep mountain forest.
After walking for two or three hours, Ye Yang found signs of habitation.
After observing from a distance and seeing that the people wore ancient clothing, Ye Yang immediately followed local customs, took out a wig and ancient clothes from his backpack, and dressed accordingly.
Having read many world-crossing , Ye Yang had plenty of theoretical experience.
Different worlds required different attire, and Ye Yang was prepared.
Perhaps due to the Kunlun Mirror's inherent power, even the language barrier was instantly overcome. Upon hearing the local language, Ye Yang's mind translated Earth's language into the world's language.
With communication no longer a problem, Ye Yang quickly learned what he wanted to know.
First, the country. According to what he heard, the place he was in was called Qian State.
Qian State consisted of six countries.
These six countries varied in size; some had several hundred prefectures, some only a little over one hundred.
Even the smallest country's territory far exceeded that of Great Xia.
Each prefecture's area was not smaller than Great Xia's largest province.
Ye Yang's country was called Ling Country, with 180 prefectures, ranking mid-sized among the six countries.
Realizing how vast this world was, Ye Yang was filled with joy.
A large land meant abundant resources, and as a world-crossing tycoon, he could develop rapidly.
Just as Ye Yang was preparing to use the different resources of Earth and this other world to start making money, he suddenly realized this new world was not simple.
He witnessed a man shatter a huge rock several meters wide with a single palm strike.
Ye Yang had carefully checked the rock; it was genuine, extremely hard.
Seeing this, Ye Yang was ecstatic.
The supernatural abilities that only existed in Earth's TV shows and movies actually existed here.
Who didn't dream of being a hero?
Ye Yang had that dream too.
As a child, any stick in his hand meant the rapeseed fields within miles were doomed.
With supernatural power right before him, how could Ye Yang not be tempted?
Just as Ye Yang was about to use the finest modern glass craft items to find a master and learn skills, he suddenly heard a rushing sound from above.
Initially thinking it was birds flying, he looked up and saw hundreds of people flying high in the sky on swords.
Seeing this, Ye Yang was stunned.
Was the martial power in this world really this outrageous?
They could actually perform Sword Riding Flight?
Later, Ye Yang learned these sword-flyers were Immortal Cultivators.
The world he had crossed into was a grand Immortal Cultivation World.
The warriors he saw were merely the lowest level of martial power here.
The weakest Immortal Cultivators could easily kill them.
Knowing he had entered the Immortal Cultivation World, Ye Yang grew even more excited.
Immortal cultivation not only represented strength, but also longevity and immortality.
He had to cultivate immortality.
After three full months, using countless modern craft items from Earth to pave his way, Ye Yang finally gained the chance to join the Tianhuang Sect, an Immortal Cultivation Sect.
Tianhuang Sect was one of the three major cultivation sects in Ling Country, guarded by Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Whether it was the Kunlun Mirror's effect or Ye Yang's own qualities, Ye Yang was found to have excellent spiritual roots, possessing the rare double wind-fire spiritual roots — a rare cultivation talent with over fifty percent chance to reach Foundation Establishment Realm.
He was immediately accepted into Tianhuang Sect and became a top-level true disciple.
However, just as Ye Yang joined Tianhuang Sect and was guided by elders to successfully enter the first level of Qi Refining and officially become an Immortal Cultivator, disaster struck.
Two Golden Core Great Cultivators fought a fierce battle in the Tianhuang Sect area.
The battle's aftershock was terrifying.
The land was scorched as far as the eye could see.
Tianhuang Sect could not withstand the aftershocks and was completely destroyed.
If not for the Kunlun Mirror that allowed Ye Yang to travel back to Earth, he would have perished with the sect.
"Greed nearly got me killed. Next time I definitely can't be so reckless," Ye Yang thought as he leaned against the sofa and looked at the dark ring on his right index finger.
Normally, at the moment the Golden Core Great Expert started fighting, he could use the Kunlun Mirror to return safely to Earth.
But greed got the better of him.
Knowing Tianhuang Sect was doomed to be wiped out by the aftershock, Ye Yang decided not to waste the sect's resources.
Better he profit than others.
After all, he was a legitimate true disciple of Tianhuang Sect.
So, boldly, Ye Yang entered the sect's treasure vault and cleared out the sect's techniques library and pill storage.
The sect's treasure vault was protected by formation arrays and was inaccessible without the sect's official tokens.
But Ye Yang was lucky.
Because of his talent, he apprenticed under the only Foundation Establishment Cultivator of Tianhuang Sect.
This cultivator had to leave the sect temporarily and handed Ye Yang his Identity Token, allowing Ye Yang to seek instruction freely from sect elders.
This Identity Token was equivalent to the sect's highest authority token, granting access to the treasure vault regardless of formation protections.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Yang would never have dared to misuse such privileges.
But with the sect about to be destroyed, Ye Yang had no qualms.
He originally thought the vault's formation could withstand the Golden Core Great Experts' aftershocks for a while, giving him enough time to clear out resources.
But he underestimated the destructive power of the aftershocks.
Just as he found the storage ring containing the sect's pills, the aftershock reached the vault.
The formation was broken as soon as Ye Yang finished sweeping the technique library.
Ye Yang was cautious.
At the moment the formation was broken, he immediately used the Kunlun Mirror to return to Earth.
But even so, he was still injured by residual aftershocks.
Luckily, it was only a fraction of the aftershock's power—less than one percent—otherwise, he would have been pulverized on the spot.
Even without being shattered, Ye Yang was severely wounded.
If he hadn't looted enough pills from the vault, he would have been done for.
"These aftershock remnants forced me to consume over a hundred Rejuvenation Pills. Though only low-grade, their medicinal power nearly rivals mid-grade top-quality healing pills. Even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator can recover over half their injuries from them."
"For mortals, as long as there is a breath left, no injury is unsurvivable. Even those nearing death can extend their lives by years. Such terrifying power in the aftershock remnants—Golden Core Great Experts are truly terrifying. Even Earth's strongest nuclear weapons pale in comparison."
"The authors of those cultivation seriously underestimate things. They say Qi Refining Realm cultivators are just stronger mortals, Foundation Establishment Realm martial artists can kill them easily, and Golden Core cultivators can be killed by clever traps—what nonsense."
"Next time, I absolutely cannot be so reckless. Life is only one, and once it's gone, it's really gone. As long as I'm alive and have the Kunlun Mirror to freely travel the Immortal Cultivation World, there will always be a chance to grow stronger."
Leaning against the sofa, Ye Yang thought anxiously.
