A Mortal Sword’s Quest for Immortality

(Transmigrate into a book, but no System + not brainless + not a wish-fulfillment power fantasy + seeking immortality through the sword) Li Han had just graduated from college when he lost his footing while mountain climbing and unexpectedly transmigrated into the body of Xuanyuan Hao, a concubine-born son of the Xuanyuan Dynasty in the Mortal Realm of the Eastern Wilderness, one of the Eight Wastes and Four Seas. Yet as soon as he arrived, he was faced with a thorny problem. The Immortal Inquiry Stele brought by the immortals clearly showed that he had no spiritual roots. Though this world had no clearly defined cultivation realms, spiritual roots were still the key measure for distinguishing geniuses. The emperor flew into a rage and ordered Xuanyuan Hao banished from the palace. His mother pleaded desperately, but she was banished along with him. With the path to immortality closed, the princes hunting him down, and his loved ones dying before his eyes, Xuanyuan Hao gripped the sword in his hand and made a vow: he would use his own sword to forge a path to immortality for an ordinary man.
