From a Lowly Soldier to a Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm

System-based story, slow-burn, with a touch of alternate history.

In the twelfth year of the Qianyuan era of the Great Zhou, beacon fires darken the sky and bones pile up like hills.

When the capital Chang’an issues an imperial decree recruiting soldiers, the young Chen Feng takes his aged adoptive father’s place and enters the barracks, joining millions of soldiers.

As someone who has transmigrated, Chen Feng has an easygoing dream.

Kill enemies, earn merits, receive rewards.

Take the silver home, buy some irrigation water for the fields, build a new house, and have eight children with his elder sister, living a shamelessly carefree life.

But life never goes as planned. First, he awakens a System. Then, after flying into a rage, he offends one of the great clans of the age and has no choice but to flee to Chang’an for refuge. Once there, he is constantly drawn into one case after another, eventually sparking the rebellion that sounds the opening notes of the dynasty’s collapse.

His original dream was simply to marry his elder sister, so how did he end up unable to stop? It seems an invisible hand, the author’s mysterious power, is pushing him onward.

As he presses on, Chen Feng suddenly finds himself standing alone at the pinnacle of the world, with no path visible above him.

Fortunately, he finds traces of a clue in ancient texts. Following the vanished sages, he sets out on a road of no return and uncovers a conspiracy targeting humanity.

Mountain-Moving Art + Thousandfold Mountain = Ten-Thousandfold Mountain

Ten-Thousandfold Mountain + Vast Sea Art = Classic of Mountains and Seas

Meteor Dash + Flowing Water Blade Technique = Passing Water Blade Technique

P.S. I don’t like scallions or cilantro. I definitely won’t drop this one this time!
