After My Gossiping Inner Voice Was Exposed, I Became a Legend

Please add my next book, "The Sword Cultivator Doesn't Want to Be an All-Rounder [Book Transmigration]" to your collection!

Kong Shengwu transmigrated into a cultivation novel as a nobody. Though he had terrible aptitude, he came from a prestigious family and was doted on by his father. He also joined the Five Elements Sect, one of the cultivation world's top sects, as the sect leader's personal disciple.

With his noble status, immense wealth, no social life, and desire to lie flat and enjoy himself, Kong Shengwu absolutely loved this transmigration.

The System even had a gossip page where he could see all the juicy stories that had already happened to everyone in the cultivation world.

What he didn't know was that the System had a bug: whenever he opened the gossip page, his inner thoughts would be exposed.

Right after arriving, he found himself caught up in a power struggle. Jiang Heyong, master of Hidden Light Peak, led a group of people in forcing the sect leader to step down, hoping to seize more resources and replace the sect leader's faction. The supposedly ethereal sect was noisier than a street market.

Wow, this is exciting!

Kong Shengwu rubbed his hands as he watched the show and scrolled through the gossip.

[Heh, Peak Master Jiang is so selfless. Does he really not know that none of his hundred-plus sons are his?]

[Wow, the eldest son is actually the biological child of that Ancestor who just broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.]

Jiang Heyong spat a mouthful of green blood into the sky.

He no longer had the energy to care about resources. He slunk away in disgrace.

The sect leader patted Kong Shengwu on the shoulder. "Go have fun. I'll increase your monthly allowance tenfold from now on."

Kong Shengwu: Confused...

On some day in some year

The senior disciple, who was always picking fights under the pretext that someone was ruining the sect's moral standards, announced that he would go into seclusion to break through to the Golden Core realm.

Kong Shengwu was troubled. The senior disciple's seclusion would fail because a villain would replace an essential ingredient, leaving his Golden Core damaged and eventually causing him to die in despair. What a shame.

But the senior disciple picked fights with him every day. He was so annoying. Should Kong Shengwu warn him?

Senior Disciple: ...???

Later, the senior disciple survived and beat up everyone who had ever picked on Kong Shengwu. He became obsessed with protecting his junior brother.

Kong Shengwu: Confused...

On another day in another year

Kong Shengwu went with the sect into a secret realm, doing as little as possible. While everyone else fought to the death over a single spirit herb, he lay flat and leisurely read gossip.

[Holy crap! The Four Ancient Divine Beasts are guarding this secret realm!]

[Wow, the Black Tortoise has two souls in one body. The tortoise soul likes the White Tiger, and the snake soul worships the Azure Dragon. But since they couldn't convince each other, they both went after the Phoenix?]

[No wonder they're divine beasts. They really get around.]

The Phoenix, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger, who had been listening in for the gossip, clenched their fists and beat up the Black Tortoise.

Before he left the secret realm, a pile of storage bags suddenly hit Kong Shengwu on the head. Inside were all the treasures that everyone had been searching for in vain.

Kong Shengwu: Still confused...

On yet another day in yet another year, the immortal sect of the Five Elements Sect opened its gates wide to recruit disciples.

However, talented candidates were few, and the various peaks started arguing over who would recruit them.

The artifact-refining faction of Chonghua Peak: "This young man looks honest and is gifted in fire. He should join our artifact-refining faction!"

Kong Shengwu, watching the show, muttered: Join, join, join! He absolutely has to join! He'll join your artifact-refining school today, then burn your whole family tomorrow. He killed his own mother yesterday just because they disagreed. He's a perfect match for Chonghua Peak!

The master of Chonghua Peak: Spat out a mouthful of blood.

The alchemy faction of Yunrong Peak quietly changed its target. "This young man is refined and handsome, with dual wood and fire affinities. He'd be perfect for our alchemy school."

Kong Shengwu switched targets too. "Wow, wow, wow, this one's even more impressive. He's a smooth-talking, gold-digging pretty boy who dumped his former wife before he even joined the immortal sect."

Let me take a closer look. He made the little daughter of Yunrong Peak's master fall in love at first sight and give him a scented sachet yesterday, right? Wow, that's some skill!

The master of Yunrong Peak: In a rage, he smashed the stone table.

The sect leader burst out laughing and pulled Kong Shengwu over. "My disciple, who do you think would make a good junior brother for you?"

Kong Shengwu pointed at someone at random. "Him."

That's the future male lead, the very embodiment of the dragon-protagonist archetype!

The other peak masters looked at the young man intently. They couldn't see anything particularly outstanding about him, but Kong Shengwu's pick couldn't be wrong.

Peak Masters: "This young man belongs in my faction!"

Meanwhile, the culinary cultivation faction of Complete Peak had its eyes fixed on Kong Shengwu. "Our peak serves delicious dishes every day and fine wine at every meal. Shengwu, would you like to be our guest?"

Kong Shengwu's eyes lit up.

The sect leader and the other disciples: "Hey, you thieves, don't even think about it!"
