(Eastern fantasy) (Transmigration) (Martial arts) (Master and disciple) (Court and martial world) (Decisive and ruthless)
(A quick heads-up: the first ten chapters don't have any major scenes. They focus on Bu Zha Town and Chen Mobai's gradual exploration of cultivation. If you want the big scenes right away, you'll probably have to wait until chapter thirteen.)
That year, Chen Mobai transmigrated into the body of a five-year-old boy.
From a college dormitory to a pile of straw in a ruined temple, from game-delivered takeout to begging to survive, with both parents dead and nothing in his home, he had only one skill in this town where people were cruel: putting on an act.
Acting obedient, acting pitiful, acting like an orphan who could soften anyone's heart.
Until the day the blacksmith next door shattered a three-zhang slab of bluestone with one hammer blow.
The old blacksmith swung his hammer over his shoulder and turned back. “Come to the forge at the hour of the tiger tomorrow.”
Only then did Chen Mobai learn that there was another path in this world.
Martial artists are ranked in nine grades. Above the ninth grade is the Unity Realm. Those who reach Unity gather all the world's martial destiny within themselves. This is known as the struggle for the Great Dao.
Cultivators are divided into ten realms. Above the tenth is the Grand Void, also a struggle for the Great Dao.
People always die in the martial world, but someone always has to make it home alive.
My name is Chen Mobai: Chen, as in Chen Wan and Chen Shutong; Mo, as in “don't bully a poor young man”; Bai, as in blank... I want to live.
