Urban Immortal Journey: Chu Chen's Rebirth and Comeback

In his previous life, Chu Chen was one of the top cultivators on the Spirit Illusion Continent. But just as he was about to ascend to the Immortal Realm, his close friend betrayed him and left him with no way out. With no other choice, he detonated his spiritual core, and his soul returned to his younger self on Earth, a world starved of spiritual energy. Reborn, he resolves to seek revenge and make up for the regrets of his past life.

By chance, Chu Chen discovers an ancient-looking ring in his ancestral home, engraved with mysterious markings and giving off faint energy fluctuations. Inside is a fragmentary ancient book on the art of treasure hunting. When he enters school, his distinctive aura catches the attention of the campus belle, Ye Li, but also provokes the jealousy and taunts of the school bully, Zhang Yang. During a clash, Chu Chen unexpectedly acquires a simple defensive jade pendant artifact. Yet the pendant doesn’t respond at all when he channels spiritual power into it, leaving him with a host of unanswered questions.

Later, he befriends Elder Qin, a teacher of Chinese classics who knows the secrets of Earth’s cultivation world. He also saves Su Yao out of a sense of justice and receives a Lingxi Talisman with an eerie aura. Though it can warn him of danger, it inexplicably leaves him feeling uneasy. In this challenging and mysterious city, Chu Chen draws on his cultivation experience from his previous life and the magical artifacts he encounters in this one to steadily make his comeback, explore the true meaning of cultivation, uncover the secrets behind the artifacts, and write his own legendary tale of cultivation on Earth.
