The True Young Master Just Wants to Ascend [Spiritual Qi Revival]

One-line summary: An ancient-world spiritual qi revival. The real young master whom everyone looked down on grows into someone beyond their reach.

Blurb One:

Zhou Zipei is the last heir to a fallen cultivation sect in the modern world. He wakes up to find himself in the Great Qing Dynasty, a place he’s never heard of, as a twelve-year-old boy who was just brought back from the countryside to the marquis’s estate.

His birth mother can’t accept that her eldest legitimate son was switched at birth twelve years ago and refuses to see him. The legitimate daughter of the Bai family, who was promised to him at birth, is humiliated and determined to switch her betrothed to the marquis’s second legitimate son. The noble families of the capital sit back with cups of tea, eager to see how the marquis’s family will play out this farce.

But then the world undergoes a sudden transformation, and the cultivation world, gone for thousands of years, reappears. The major sects begin recruiting disciples, and everyone immediately forgets about the marquis’s family drama.

Only when Zhou Zipei is revealed to have extraordinary talent in front of everyone do all eyes turn back to him.

By then, Zhou Zipei is surrounded by cultivators from the major sects, all trying to recruit him. He finally lets out a small sigh of relief. At least he doesn’t have to deal with household intrigue. He’s really no good at that.

Blurb Two:

The major sects of the cultivation world don’t think much of the mortal little world that has suddenly appeared. They casually send an outer sect steward to recruit disciples.

Who would have thought that this little world, which had been without spiritual qi for a thousand years, would produce a once-in-a-thousand-years genius for the cultivation world?

The major sects all make offers, but the genius chooses the Tai Xuan Sect, which hasn’t even promised him any special benefits.

The Tai Xuan Sect used to be the number one sect in the cultivation world. Now it can only maintain appearances thanks to its founding ancestor, who could undergo tribulation and ascend at any moment. When the sect travels to the lower world this time, it has no intention of competing with the other sects. It only wants to find the sect’s lost cultivation manual.

But before they even have to search for it, the peerless genius being fought over by all the major sects arrives with the final volume of the Tai Xuan Scripture, which the sect lost a thousand years ago, and joins them!
