After graduating from a third-rate university, Wang Wei joined a small company and worked overtime day after day until he suddenly died at his desk. But he transmigrated into the body of a rogue cultivator in the world of cultivation, who was also named Wang Wei. Wang Wei was born into a middle-class family in the Great Xia Kingdom on the Tianxuan Continent. The continent was vast and sparsely populated, with countless sects scattered across it. The people of the entire Xuantiandi Continent were cultivators. Although the Wang family was not a prestigious clan, every member practiced cultivation. Perhaps because resources were scarce, their cultivation levels were all quite low. When Wang Wei was fifteen, his father, Wang Donglai, offended the son of a powerful family while doing business and was injured by him. Knowing he did not have long to live, Wang Donglai summoned his son and told him to flee the city that very night. From then on, Wang Wei became a wandering boy. After he left, his father died from his injuries. There had only been the two of them in the family. Wang Wei was his father's adopted son, and before their family fell on hard times, father and son had just barely managed to get by. Perhaps Wang Donglai knew his time was nearly up when he made this desperate choice. Before Wang Wei left, he repeatedly urged him to cultivate diligently and not to think about revenge.
It's very well written. I listened to it from beginning to end. It's more than any other novel I've read; I especially enjoy listening to a cultivator's arduous training and the process.
