One day, Qin Qibao was struck by lightning and transmigrated into a cultivation game he'd once completed.
System: Don't worry, Host. Just follow the "underdog comeback" script and complete the face-slapping plot. You'll earn enough points to revive on the spot!
Qin Qibao was full of fighting spirit. But when he opened his eyes, he discovered that the world hadn't reset.
Back then, he'd played this place as a building game. Under the username Qin Xiangyun, he'd spent his days blazing trails with a group of subordinates, having the time of his life. In the end, he gave his body to withstand the heavenly tribulation for the Lingzhou Continent, and that was how he beat the game.
Ah, so he hadn't quite died.
To his left, the lackey who used to serve him tea and water had become the leader of the world's number one sect.
To his right, the sidekick he'd beaten into submission had transformed into the Martial Emperor Heavenly Venerable.
Looking down, he saw the little pet he'd raised in the palm of his hand, now dozens of meters long and hailed as the mightiest immortal beast in the world.
Qin Qibao: ...
He looked at the first chapter of the script, titled "Become an Outer Sect Disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect," and fell into deep thought.
He looked at his lackey and coughed. "The Xuanzhen Sect..."
The sect leader, who was a force to be reckoned with everywhere else, turned pale and immediately dropped to one knee. "Master, the Xuanzhen Sect has belonged to you for all eternity. I merely acted as its regent while you were unconscious. I would never dare usurp your place!"
Could this plot still go ahead?
Everyone under heaven knew that the Lingzhou Continent had been engulfed in chaos for a thousand years. Fifty years ago, the Immortal Lord Xiangyun appeared out of nowhere, slaying demons and monsters, breaking all laws, and using his own body to withstand the heavenly tribulation, restoring peace to the land.
Sadly, he was only eighteen when he made that sacrifice.
The various sects joined forces to preserve a wisp of his soul, nurturing it in a lotus pond and nourishing it daily with divine power.
Everyone knew the Immortal Lord's name. Everyone revered and loved him. When word spread that he was about to awaken, celebrations erupted everywhere, and people fought for the honor of presenting him with treasures.
Meanwhile, Qin Qibao was sprawled unceremoniously across a jade bed, sipping heavenly nectar while longing for his favorite fizzy drink.
Seeing his displeasure, a neat row of people knelt beside the bed.
Qin Qibao sighed. Being too famous had its downsides. It was time to go out and have some fun under a secret identity.
A quick heads-up: the protagonist is adored by everyone and attracts countless admirers. This is not an invincible-protagonist story. After being reborn, the protagonist can't cultivate and is physically frail, but will gain other abilities later.
