The Path to Immortality: I Am the Immortal Emperor

Before transmigrating, he was an ordinary college student. Then he opened his eyes and found himself in a cultivation world, inside an abandoned unfinished novel, as a cannon-fodder character who wouldn't survive three chapters. The System bound him to a simulator that could preview the future, letting him start over whenever one wrong step meant certain death. Now he was set.

In the cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak. Using the simulator, he dodges deadly traps and snatches opportunities. He seems mild-mannered and courteous, but behind the scenes, he's a master schemer, taking control of his fate one step at a time. In this novel, the protagonist has peerless talent, the villains are ruthless, the strategists are as cunning as snakes, one sharp-tongued antagonist can silence anyone, and there's also a deranged, possessive maniac who plays with fire at the drop of a hat.

But he's not afraid. He can start over endlessly, after all. The world is divided by spiritual root types, countless cultivation arts, and a host of sects. Demons, dark cultivators, and rogue cultivators scheme against one another in the open and in secret. He takes no sides and fawns over no one. He plays both the honest and underhanded angles, and anyone who gets in his way will find themselves cornered by the simulator's predictions. In this world, the ruthless survive longest, and he is more monstrous than anyone.
