From the Start, I Rescued an Empress at a Ruined Temple and Became a Poet-Saint

In the Tianxuan Realm, martial arts flourish, while the literary path has been lost for a hundred thousand years. Everything else is inferior; only martial arts reign supreme.

Gu Changge transmigrates into the body of a disgraced, exiled scholar, stranded in a ruined temple in the wilderness.

By chance, the Empress of the Great Wilderness is betrayed, grievously wounded, and cast down from her throne. She flees into the temple.

As hundreds of martial experts close in for the kill, with life and death hanging in the balance, Gu Changge awakens the “Confucian Sage’s Words Become Law System.”

Reciting timeless masterpieces from five thousand years of Chinese history brings forth supreme power capable of destroying heaven and earth!

“Kill a man every ten paces, leave no trace over a thousand miles!”

With one recitation of “The Swordsman’s Journey,” the phantom of an unrivaled sword immortal strides through the air, and the martial grandmasters in the hall are wiped out in an instant!

The usually arrogant Empress stares in shock. “You call this a scholar who can’t even kill a chicken?”

From then on, Gu Changge uses five thousand years of Chinese heritage to crush his foes with an overwhelming advantage.

Reciting the “Tao Te Ching,” he summons purple energy stretching thirty thousand miles east and becomes an ancestor on the spot;

Reciting “Bring in the Wine,” his sword energy chills the nineteen continents and cleaves the Ninth Heaven!

Peerless holy maidens gladly serve as his sword attendants, a fox demon princess keeps him company, and even the aloof Empress throws herself at him, begging to cultivate as a pair.

Gu Changge spreads his hands helplessly. “I really am just a scholar. How did I become the greatest sage of all time?”
