Zhang Mu was an ordinary overworked wage slave from Earth. After an accident transmigrated him to the cultivation world of Qingxuan Continent, he became an ordinary Foundation Establishment disciple from a cultivation family, with the same name.
His cultivation aptitude was average and his comprehension unremarkable, so he could not rely on his family's resources to join a cultivation sect. At the trial jointly held by the major sects, the “Ascend to Immortality Gate,” he resorted to ruthless tactics and ambushes, seriously injuring many other participants. Though he earned a decent ranking, he angered an elder of the Zixiao Sect and ultimately had no choice but to become an outer sect disciple of the Cangxuan Sect.
When he went to the Luoyun Mountains in search of an opportunity to break through to the late Qi Refining stage, he was hunted by a ferocious beast with strength comparable to a late-stage Qi Refiner. As death loomed, the Taixuan Dimension hidden deep within his soul awakened. It absorbed an unclaimed first-tier spirit vein underground, unlocking the Taixuan Pagoda within the dimension.
From then on, Zhang Mu could form a mystical avatar and send it to cultivate on the pagoda's first floor. Time passed ten times faster there than in the outside world, while his lifespan did not shorten any faster. The higher the floor of the Taixuan Pagoda, the greater the time acceleration.
But unlocking higher floors also required Zhang Mu to absorb more unclaimed spirit veins of higher grades. To survive in the perilous cultivation world and attain immortality, he had no choice but to keep a low profile and plan each move carefully…
You are so poisonous, you are so poisonous, you are so poisonous, you are so poisonous
