Gu Yanxing was an ordinary person from the Dragon Kingdom of Huaxia. He woke up to find himself lying beside a mass grave in a cultivation world.
A group of Qingxuan Sect disciples returning from an excursion found his body and brought him back to their mountain gate. Among the major sects, Qingxuan Sect is middle-ranked: strong enough to beat small sects, but unable to provoke super sects, and yet always eager to act unfathomable.
Gu Yanxing thought he'd become a laborer in the outer sect, until golden scales suddenly sprouted on his arm while he was refining qi: his true dragon bloodline had awakened.
His bloodline grows with his cultivation: first one finger and one palm become draconic, then his limbs, until he becomes a dragonkin, and finally a true dragon.
He wanted to keep his head down and steadily grow stronger, but his bloodline drew too much attention. Demonic beasts wanted to seize it, the demon race wanted to steal it, and his fellow disciples wanted to ride his coattails.
So Gu Yanxing had no choice but to level up while complaining: first raise his sect from the middle ranks, then punch through the ceiling of this world, transform into a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, ascend beyond this realm, and go home for dinner.
In short: There are no true dragons in this world, so I'll be the first.
