People who transmigrate into the chaotic Five Dynasties era are doomed to die. Those who transmigrate into a Five Dynasties era where people know martial arts are even more doomed.
Just as Xu Tianyi was on the verge of dying, he awakened an innate divine talisman.
It granted him an innate Daoist body, divine powers and spells...
Just as he was about to deal a dimensional blow to this chaotic era, he discovered, to his embarrassment, that the divine talisman granted no magical power. Everything required an exchange for fortune.
So, with the grand ambition of becoming an immortal and a sage, he stepped into the tumultuous imperial court and became a charlatan!
He doesn't know whether this future immortal of his will be killed by the chaotic world before he can master his divine arts, or whether he'll fool the whole world and talk a powerful nation into existence, ushering in a golden age that will support his immortal Dao fruit.
He only knows that he wants eternal life. He wants to become an immortal...
