I transmigrated to a high-martial world, and I'm stunned!
Here, immortality doesn't depend on spiritual roots or meditation. The only shortcut to ascension is passing the civil service exams!
A Tongsheng is equivalent to Qi Drawing, a Xiucai to Foundation Establishment, and a Jinshi to Nascent Soul. Pass the exam and enter the Hanlin Academy, and you get a provisional position in Heaven's civil service, along with an immediate salary of longevity! Unaffiliated cultivators, no matter how powerful, can only be trampled underfoot by immortal officials with official posts!
As for me, I'm a top modern archaeology graduate student whose soul has transmigrated into the body of a hapless fool. Framed for “plagiarizing a thesis,” I've been stripped of my Xiucai title, had my Foundation Establishment cultivation destroyed, and been publicly expelled from my sect. Even the villains dare to step on me and humiliate me!
At this critical moment, my [Artifact Appraisal Eye] awakens!
I can see the flaws and optimal cultivation methods in techniques that others spend ten years struggling to understand. Fake and shoddy magical treasures and pills can't escape my notice. To others, ancient ruins are death traps, but to me, they're archaeological sites with the treasures already marked!
I unearth a stone stele from the Jixia Academy, clear my name, and slap the villainous clan in the face. I take the immortal civil service exams, win top scholar in the prefecture, then take first place in the imperial exams, rising all the way to godhood. I form an archaeological team, explore the Fallen Immortal Cliff and the ruins of Heaven, and uncover the long-buried truth behind the Investiture of the Gods!
The old guard wants to suppress me? The radicals want to use me? The head of Heaven's Civil Service Bureau wants to keep me in line?
Clutching archaeological evidence, I sneer: “The official posts you're all fighting over? I'll earn one. Your rigid rules? I'll change them!”
From a down-and-out scholar to the man who rewrites the Investiture of the Gods, my path through the civil service exams is a path to defying fate!
