The winds rose and the clouds churned; heaven and earth changed color.
At the junction of the human, demon, and fiend realms in the vast world of Jingyuan, a towering pagoda suddenly appeared. It had six sides and nine stories, and seemed to reach the heavens.
On the first day of every lunar month, when the stars and moon disappeared from the night sky, the twelve arrays of the Heaven-Piercing Pagoda would light up across the four continents and eight realms, radiating treasure light and dazzling brilliance.
At that time, anyone from the three realms and six paths could enter the pagoda.
They say the pagoda is filled with supreme cultivation arts, divine weapons, spiritual treasures, and miraculous medicines... Some rise to greatness overnight and establish their foundations in a matter of days. Others go in and never return...
Gu Xingyun never expected to transmigrate just after winning the Best Actor award and reaching the pinnacle of his life.
Fine, he could deal with transmigrating. But he had ended up in an infinite-flow world.
Fine, he could deal with an infinite-flow world. But it was an infinite-flow world in a cultivation realm!?
And to top it all off, he encountered the Demon Lord from the start, while the "System" was a total scam...
Sigh, he really didn't want to play anymore!
Yan Beichen figured his luck must be terrible. He'd been chasing someone and wound up inside the Heaven-Piercing Pagoda.
The problem was, he'd just come out of seclusion and knew nothing about the pagoda.
The mighty Demon Venerable was reduced to an ordinary mortal the moment he entered, and even got teased by a bunch of ants!
This was absolutely intolerable!
Even worse, he ran into an ordinary mortal who had a bigger temper than him, leveled up faster than him, and had better luck than him too!?
Oh, he didn't want to play anymore either.
Not a male-oriented power fantasy. Fake progression fantasy, fake infinite flow, fake quick transmigration...
Gu: Then what on earth is real!?
Falling in love... ahem... cultivation. Cultivation is real!!

Reading guide:
1. A serious ensemble story with a light tone. Not scary. Happy ending.
2. Plot comes first, romance second.
3. The Heaven-Piercing Pagoda has nine worlds (post-apocalyptic world, divine machine world, demon world, and more), interwoven with the main cultivation-world storyline.
4. The cultivation setting is just a skin, so please don't take it too seriously.
