An ordinary person transmigrates into the world of a novel, taking over the body of someone with above-average aptitude whose years of improper conduct have degraded it to the level of an ordinary person’s.
In a cultivation world full of rogue immortals, where strength means power, he has only a Golden Core cultivation level, a whole major realm below that of a rogue immortal.
What’s more, while the average cultivator of the unorthodox sects can reach the fifth stage of the Golden Core, his potential is nearly exhausted, and he has only reached the lowly third stage, with little hope of making further progress.
