Clan Cultivation: The Five-Spirit Immortal Venerable Who Began with a Firefeather

Li Mingyuan transmigrates to a world of cultivation and is reborn into a first-rate Qi-refining family in Pingding County. He awakens with all five spiritual roots, but his mediocre aptitude leaves his path to immortality bleak.

He thinks he's destined for an unremarkable life, until he discovers that the ancient pagoda he bought in his previous life has come with him. He also obtains the Myriad Forms Heavenly Art, which lets him form contracts with origin spirit beasts and bind them to his spiritual roots, transforming those roots.

The moment he contracts with the Firefeather Crow, the bells of fate begin to ring.

Alchemy, formations, puppets, talismans, beast taming... In short, if he can stay out of sight, he will; if he can avoid acting personally, he will.

Years later, countless cultivators finally break through the formation and kill the five origin spirit beasts. The puppet guarding the place runs out of spiritual energy.

Just as everyone thinks the outcome is settled and they've finally taken down this devious schemer, a formation stretching from heaven to earth suddenly appears beneath their feet.

A tremendous roar shakes the entire immortal realm.

In the mountains tens of millions of miles away, a figure sitting cross-legged opens his eyes and smiles.

Bunch of idiots. I'm done playing with you. This young master is off to break through!

[A reminder: This story has no hot-blooded heroics or foolishness. The protagonist will never act personally unless absolutely necessary. If you want to read about the protagonist dueling other cultivators, feel free to skip this one. Family cultivation.]
