You wake up and find that you have transmigrated into a cultivation world.
Here, sages travel among three thousand kingdoms, using literature to enlighten the world and establish the heart and destiny of all living beings. Carefree immortals ride the wind, wandering the Northern Sea at dawn and Mount Cangwu at dusk, utterly free and unrestrained.
There are also virtuous monks who measure the world and make three great vows for all living beings: they will not become Buddhas until the hells are empty.
And you are no more than a mayfly, a grain of sand among countless living beings.
You thought you would live an ordinary life until old age, or perhaps give everything you had for a chance to attain the Dao.
But an accident gave you the Reincarnation Cultivation Simulator.
From then on, you spent eight hundred years cultivating body and mind. When demons ran rampant and evil filled the world, you carried a sword down the mountain, established eight hundred Daoist lineages and three thousand arts, and became a Celestial Master of the Daoist sect.
In the dying years of a dynasty, a god descended from the heavens with an army of countless soldiers, intent on destroying the world. You slew the Yellow Dragon, raised an army in the wilderness, and cried, "Are kings and nobles born to different stock?" Thus you became the founding ruler of a dynasty.
When Buddhist kingdoms stood everywhere and thousands of monks debated throughout the land, you journeyed ten thousand miles with peerless Zen wisdom, debating the sutras with each of them. Then you smiled, twirling a flower, and became a Buddha on the spot.
Demon Sect Supreme, Martial Arts Champion, Carefree Immortal, Confucian Sage...
Across endless time and space, you kept simulating the legends of the world. Looking back, you realized that you had already left behind countless indelible figures in the river of history.

New novel blurb: Shen Xiyan transmigrated.
The good news: he transmigrated into a cultivation world and became the sect master of an immortal sect. The bad news: his sect is on the verge of collapse.
After the sect lost the protection of its Nascent Soul ancestor, the Tianyan Sect's ranking among sects kept falling over the next three hundred years.
It fell all the way from a four-star hegemon to a nine-star nobody.
In fact, the month before Shen Xiyan transmigrated, the Tianyan Sect failed to meet the basic requirements for a nine-star sect and was kicked out of the ranks of nine-star powers altogether, becoming an unranked sect.

To survive in this cultivation world overrun by gods, demons, and monsters, and to fulfill the late sect master's dying wish, Shen Xiyan had no choice but to grit his teeth and take on the mission of restoring the sect.
"Ding-dong! The Sect Infrastructure System is now bound. With this System, the Host can receive endless rewards as the sect's influence rises!" Hearing the System's words and looking at the dilapidated sect before him, Shen Xiyan couldn't help smiling through his tears. "It's only a one-star sect. I'll have it up and running in no time!"
In the first month after binding with the System, Shen Xiyan used the System's beginner's gift pack to recruit a swordsmanship prodigy abandoned by his family and left to wander the streets; a little prince dismissed as a fool, who was actually born with a Daoist body; and a nobleman's son whom everyone thought could never cultivate, but who was a martial cultivation prodigy.
In the second month after binding with the System, Shen Xiyan used the super-duper Spirit Gathering Array and the strongest sect disciple trial platform in all the nine heavens and ten lands, both obtained from the System, to turn the disciples whom the world had dismissed and mocked into peerless geniuses who astonished everyone.
In the third month after binding with the System, Shen Xiyan used the divine ranks and Buddhist statuses he had obtained from the System to lead his whole sect, people and dogs alike, through tribulation and up to ascension.
As the Tianyan Sect's fame spread, Shen Xiyan relied on the System and his disciples to break through the tribulation realm and become the master of a one-star sect. Watching prodigies and elders leave other sects, and even sect masters disband their own sects and travel thousands of miles to elbow their way into the Tianyan Sect, Shen Xiyan couldn't help raising an eyebrow as he stood atop the high platform. At first, all he'd wanted was to survive in the cultivation world.
