Becoming the Son of the Immortal Dao Through Special Effects

Jiang Yue Bai transmigrated into a world where even pigs could cultivate immortality, and got a game-template System: [Name: Jiang Yue Bai] [Spiritual aptitude: Five Elements roots (lowest grade)] [Helpful tip: You're not suited to immortal cultivation~] Starting with the lowest-grade spiritual roots, he could only improve by earning prestige points to buy goods from the System. But... Jiang Yue Bai stared at the number of zeroes in the prestige cost to upgrade to single-element roots, lost count, and fell into deep thought. The cheapest things the System sold were special effects! [Colored Contact Lenses (Moonlight)]: Make your eyes look like moonlight to other people! [Child of Frost]: Surround yourself with snowflakes while fighting! These special effects were completely useless. They were only good for showing off! But showing off could be a way to earn prestige, too. Jiang Yue Bai began to scheme. How could he increase his prestige? By earning the respect, admiration, and affection of others, especially heaven's favored ones. For example, by having overwhelming strength, an otherworldly bearing, unforgettable looks... and a unique identity that would shock the world! He'd have to think about how to play the part. * A youth hovered in midair, silver hair falling behind him. His lashes were as white as snow, his face breathtakingly beautiful, and deep in his eyes shone a bright crescent moon. His expression was utterly serene. A sword of immortal ice rested in his hand, and crystalline frost swirled around him. He looked like a god. No one dared look directly at his face. No one dared question his strength. With a single sword stroke, the mountains and rivers shattered, and the world trembled beneath wind and rain. Such was the strength they could only look up to! [Ding! Thanks to your extraordinary acting, everyone's admiration for you has reached its peak. You have earned a large amount of prestige!] From an angle no one could see, the youth's lips curled into a delighted smile. A few things to know before reading: The novel currently has 70% anti-piracy protection. 1. A satisfying cultivation-and-leveling story, written in a lightly classical style. It's not mindless wish fulfillment. 2. The focus is on cutthroat cultivation and pretending to be a genius in public. His golden finger is basically limited to special effects and talent traits. Recommended upcoming novel with the Deluded Others trope: I Have to Pretend to Be a Powerful Expert to Survive Blurb: Lin Yun is superstitious. He's a strapping six-foot-tall man with a narrow waist, long legs, and a handsome face so cold it could scare children into tears. But because he believes in lucky charms, he carries around stuffed toys, perfume, a comb, even a huge alarm clock, along with other embarrassing and bizarre objects. Faced with the strange looks of passersby, Lin Yun can only turn red at the ears and pretend to be expressionless: “...” Then one day, he opened his eyes to find he'd inexplicably lost five years of memories, and became even more superstitious. From that day on, all sorts of people began inexplicably appearing around him. Some tried to assassinate him, some pledged themselves to him, some claimed to be his subordinates, and others tried to cozy up to him. Every single one of them was an awakened ability user above level 70. According to them, Lin Yun was unbelievably powerful! But when he looked down, he saw his ability level was only 1. Lin Yun: ...Calm down. He clutched his lucky sheep plushie and screamed in his mind, “Don't come any closer!!” Then he noticed everyone staring fixedly at the lucky charm in his hands. Their eyes suddenly widened in shock, and they screamed, “Don't do anything! We can talk this out!!” Lin Yun: ? You're afraid of stuffed toys, too? He seemed to have figured out how to play the part of a powerful expert... A legend is passed around among ability users. That man, the one who carries a different weapon every day and insists it's a lucky charm, is the strongest SSS-rank ability user. He's cold, powerful, and ruthless, leading the assassin organization Infinite in every kind of wicked deed. Countless ability users fear him. After returning to the real world, they plot to assassinate him, coerce him, or curry favor with him... but every attempt is turned away by his overwhelming presence. No one has ever succeeded. In his hands, a needle, a sheet of paper, a leaf, even a stuffed toy can become a deadly weapon. People call him the Grim Reaper. He calls himself Fate. #First they're deluded, then the max-level powerhouse beats them senseless# #You always have to pay for what you do# #A gentleman can wait ten years to take revenge# Theme: Stand on your own and grow stronger; gain power
