When he woke up, the world had changed.
A second Wudang Mountain had appeared beside the original.
A second Mount Hua had appeared beside Mount Hua.
A Shaolin Temple had materialized out of thin air beside Mount Song.
Tourists in Hainan hadn't even realized that an island wreathed in immortal energy had appeared nearby.
The internet exploded.
Even the authorities were baffled.
They sent in drones, but they couldn't get through.
They sent in people, but they couldn't get through either.
Just as they were preparing to investigate what was going on, a young man walked out.
The authorities asked, "Who are you?"
The young man clasped his hands in greeting. "I am Shen Zhibai, the senior disciple of Taiyin."
The authorities said, "...Do you have an ID?"
As it turned out, Shen Zhibai did.
Because he was originally from the modern world.
But after an accident, he transmigrated to the true world of martial arts.
There, he became Taiyin's senior disciple.
Now, he was back.
And that martial world...
Had come with him.
Things started getting increasingly strange.
Wudang realized modern people were crazy about hiking. After a moment's thought, the abbot said, "We'll open the mountain gate to a limited number of visitors."
The people at Mount Hua immediately agreed:
"Charge admission!"
Shaolin, meanwhile, hit it off with the authorities.
"Martial arts for everyone?"
"Sure."
The male disciples of Taiyin discovered that their curse had been lifted and wept with joy:
"At last, no one's pressuring us to have kids!"
One melody from Lingyin astonished the world.
Yunmeng's free clinic was booked three months in advance.
Jiuling looked at modern society. "Not bad."
Then went right back to slacking off.
As for Anxiang...
No one knew where they were.
When the world of martial arts truly descended upon reality,
people from the jianghu encountered the modern world for the first time, and modern people saw the real jianghu for the first time.
Caught between the two worlds, Shen Zhibai could only ask:
"Why do these kinds of messes always end up being my problem?"
All he wanted was to slack off!
