Listen to this Chapter
Chapter 1 Time Travel
Prologue…
This book is about Han Li without the Heavenly Bottle, but it will incorporate Wang Yu’s perspective, granting him a certain degree of precognition. The purpose
of writing this book is to depict a pseudo-spiritual root who rises to prominence without the Heavenly Bottle. It aims to maximize the advantages of precognition.
The main focus is on the use of precognition in the plot.
Those who dislike this setting should proceed with caution.
Those who dislike my writing style should also proceed with caution.
Just leave quietly.
Highlights of this book:
1. Han Li without the Heavenly Bottle.
Yes, not having the Heavenly Bottle is a highlight.
2. A deeper exploration and utilization of the limited resources gained from precognition. See how to use the value of a Foundation Establishment Pill wisely, achieving a one-for-ten effect.
3. A more extreme use of layers of character relationships to achieve goals at each stage.
4. Having endured all the hardships, he will certainly enjoy the blessings.
5. After ascending to the Immortal Realm, he possesses the two supreme treasures, the Heavenly Bottle and the Reincarnation Disc.
Welcome like-minded fellow cultivators to join the story.
“
Without the Heavenly Bottle, can’t I cultivate to the Spirit Realm?”
“Without the Heavenly Bottle, can’t I become a Mahayana Ancestor or even ascend to the Immortal Realm?”
“No.”
“I can.” He
definitely can.
Losing the Heavenly Bottle doesn’t mean he has no other advantages.
“In my hands, I possess information unknown to countless beings in this world, an advantage of foresight unmatched by any other being.”
This alone
is his greatest advantage.
“The Yellow Maple Valley Ascension Token in the hands of the Golden Light Master can help me join Yellow Maple Valley and obtain a precious Foundation Establishment Pill.”
He doesn’t covet the Foundation Establishment Pill itself, but he can exchange it for enough Qi Refining stage cultivation resources and even protective artifacts, giving him some self-protection in the subsequent Crimson Trials.
“Furthermore, the golden treasure chest and golden token within the Crimson Forbidden Land…”
The golden token is linked to the inheritance of an ancient Nascent Soul cultivator,
involving the secrets and opportunities of the entire Crimson Forbidden Land.
With the spoils from the forbidden area, the chances of reaching Foundation Establishment are quite high.
“Also, the golden pages in the hands of Li Huayuan and the barefoot giant from the Giant Sword Sect…”
Inside is the core inheritance of the Xuanjian Sect, once a major righteous sword sect in Tiannan: the *Qingyuan Sword Technique*.
This technique aids in Core Formation.
After ascending to the Spirit Realm, one can follow the cause and effect to find the Mahayana stage master, Qingyuanzi.
Perhaps, one can even become Qingyuanzi’s disciple.
“Furthermore, Senior Brother Lin, one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in Huangfeng Valley, is actually the former young master of the Qianzhu Sect in the far west of Tiannan. He possesses two inheritances: the *Dayan Technique* and the *Puppet True Explanation*…”
Once one obtains these inheritances, and becomes a Nascent Soul cultivator in the future, one can go to the far west to find the Great Evolution Divine Lord, the old man from ten thousand years ago.
Learning from that old man and acquiring the inheritance will enrich one’s own foundation.
Moreover, the Great Evolution Technique can enhance divine sense while also aiding in Core Formation and even Nascent Soul formation.
“Not only that, in the northern part of Yue Kingdom, there is also an ancient teleportation array hidden in an abandoned mine, leading to the Chaotic Star Sea…”
An ancient teleportation array is enough to create a powerful force comparable to a Star Palace.
It can also provide him with a continuous stream of cultivation resources.
“By the way, there’s the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual liquid and Soul-Nourishing Wood involved in a painting on the fifth floor of the Void Heaven Palace’s main hall…” “
The high-grade mineral vein on Biling Island on the northern border of the Chaotic Star Sea and that incomparably precious top-grade spirit stone…”
Those are important cultivation materials that can help one break through from the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the late stage.
“There are many easy opportunities, but also many that are difficult to obtain. Five thousand years ago, the cave dwelling left by the Cangkun Master contained a remnant of a painting. That remnant was actually a lingering fragment of a demonic being who had reached the Nascent Soul stage. With the right methods, one could obtain much information about the seal of the Endless Sea Demon Abyss from it, thus gaining the upper hand and reaching Seven Spirits Island to search for treasures…”
Seven Spirits Island had been nourished by the pure spiritual energy layer of the boundless seabed for sixty to seventy thousand years. Even if the opportunities there weren’t enough to allow a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, they might still allow for a small advancement in Nascent Soul cultivation.
As long as the remnant demonic soul was controlled, preventing it from entering and causing destruction, all those benefits would be his.
With so much crucial, prescient information at his disposal, why would he need the Heavenly Bottle?
“I, Han Li, need the Heavenly Bottle to become an immortal!”
—
Tiannan Yue Kingdom.
Jingzhou.
The Seven Mysteries Sect of Caixia Mountain…
“This is Divine Hand Valley. Aside from the disciples of the valley, outsiders only come here when they are sick or injured…”
“You two will be staying here from now on.”
“Alright, go and rest first. Come see me in the main hall tonight. I have something to say to you then…”
In a valley called Divine Hand Valley on Caixia Mountain, which spans several miles in circumference, an old man stood in front of several closely connected wooden houses, pointing to one of the smaller houses and speaking calmly to two teenagers.
One of the teenagers was thin, while the other had a simple and honest face and appeared more robust.
“By the way, you can call me Old Master Mo.”
“
Of course… you can call me Doctor Mo too.”
The old man turned around and suddenly added this sentence.
After saying this, he remained silent, coughing lightly as he walked into the more imposing house among the several rooms.
Behind him, the two ten-year-old boys exchanged glances, then relaxed and entered the room the old man had designated, each collapsing onto a wooden bed and falling asleep.
The two boys were utterly exhausted.
Their bodies felt heavy, and they were in a daze.
Just moments before, they had participated in the Seven Mysteries Sect’s entrance trials.
These trials tested their physical constitution, endurance, and many other aspects of their abilities.
Unfortunately, they failed the Seven Mysteries Sect’s test and were eliminated by the examiner. However, they were extremely fortunate to be chosen by the mysterious old man before them, a man even the Seven Mysteries Sect’s leader treated with utmost respect. He brought them back to this quiet, secluded valley, making them barely considered half-disciples of the Seven Mysteries Sect. As soon as
their tense nerves relaxed, exhaustion immediately rebounded, and drowsiness swept over their entire bodies and minds.
…
“Get up, get up.”
“Han Li, get up and eat something. After eating, we need to pay our respects to Elder Mo…”
A faint voice, seemingly coming from the horizon, startled the thin boy who was sleeping soundly in bed.
Opening his eyes, a huge face pressed tightly before him, startling him.
“Little friend, who are you?”
This was the thin boy’s “instinctive” question.
“Huh? Han Li, don’t you remember me?” The more robust-looking, somewhat simple-minded teenager blinked. “We just participated in the Seven Mysteries Sect’s assessment together a few hours ago. My name is Zhang Tie…”
How could Han Li forget his name so quickly?
He remembered Han Li’s name perfectly well.
Besides, why was Han Li calling him “little kid”?
Aren’t they the same age?
“Han Li? Zhang Tie?”
Upon hearing those two names, the thin boy froze.
Then, a flood of memories rushed through his mind, flashing by like a whirlwind.
Then, everything went black, and he collapsed back onto the bed.
“Han Li…Han Li, what’s wrong?”
Seeing the thin boy who had entered the valley with him suddenly faint, Zhang Tie was startled and at a loss. He frantically shook the boy’s body on the bed, hoping to revive him.
However
, no matter how much he shook him, the thin boy gritted his teeth, sweat beaded on his forehead, and looked like he was in great pain, but more like…having a nightmare?!
“Han Li, Han Li…”
Zhang Tie’s voice was now tinged with panic.
He felt he might have messed up:
‘Could it be that I put my face too close to Han Li and scared him?’
‘Oh no, Han Li, please don’t let anything happen to you…’
Ten-year-old Zhang Tie was incredibly panicked, completely unsure of what to do.
Meanwhile, in the thin boy’s
mind …
The two memories began their final merging.
One was his ten years of poverty in this world, the memories of a ten-year-old boy named Han Li from a farming family in Wuligou.
The other was his past life’s memories:
over thirty years on a water-blue planet called Earth;
thirty-six years of memories of a middle-aged online novelist using the pen name Wang Yu.
This memory had been dormant in his mind until today, after the Seven Mysteries Sect’s assessment, when it suddenly triggered some kind of restriction and awakened completely.
“My name is Han Li?”
“No, that’s just the name of the protagonist in a web novel I wrote…”
“So, I…transmigrated?”
Transmigrated into the protagonist of my own book?
And transmigrated right after finishing the book?
“How could such a bizarre and incredible thing happen?”
He had actually transmigrated into the protagonist of his own book.
“Wait…”
“Oh no!”
Suddenly realizing something, Wang Yu’s expression changed drastically.
He hadn’t transmigrated into the Han Ancestor in the Great Ascension stage of the Spirit Realm in his book, but into the ten-year-old mortal Han Li who hadn’t yet entered the path of immortality. He
had no ability to protect himself at all.
“Damn it!”
This was going to kill him!
As an online novelist, he was quite accepting of transmigrating into a book.
He was even more accepting of transmigrating into the body of the protagonist in his own book.
However,
if the timing of the transmigration was bad, or even extremely bad, he really couldn’t accept it.
“I left home at ten, introduced by my third uncle to the Seven Mysteries Sect to become a disciple of Doctor Mo,
and began cultivating the basic wood-based Five Elements technique, the Everlasting Spring Technique. Then, I unexpectedly found the Heavenly Bottle.” “At fourteen, due to my poor spiritual root talent, my cultivation only progressed to the third level, Qi Refining level three, before stagnating. By chance, I befriended Li Feiyu and, by some strange twist of fate, discovered the secret of the bottle’s plant-growth-accelerating properties, secretly concocting elixirs to speed up my cultivation…”
“At sixteen, I reached Qi Refining level six. I obtained the Luo Yan Step and the Blinking Sword Technique from Li Feiyu to enhance my martial arts strength. I attempted to confront Doctor Mo, but he countered with even greater martial arts prowess, and then attempted to possess my body…”
“Fortunately, in the possession battle, my protagonist, Han Li, unexpectedly won…”
“Hiss…”
“I am now Han Li, and this body is ten years old. In other words, this is where everything began!”
What should I do?
What should I do next?
He had inexplicably transmigrated into a book and been reborn, and had been in this world of mortal cultivation for ten years.
He didn’t know how he had transmigrated, why he had transmigrated, or how to return.
Worse still, he hadn’t yet found the Celestial Treasure, the Heavenly Bottle. He hadn’t obtained the Longevity Technique from Mo Juren to embark on the path of immortality. He hadn’t acquired the formulas for the Yellow Dragon Pill and Golden Marrow Pill, these important and precious mortal medicines.
Crucially, he still had a large family to support in the Han family of Wuligou, burdened by
ties that could potentially affect his emotions and leave him with inner demons.
Furthermore, the body-snatching plot orchestrated by Mo Juren and Yu Zitong was a major threat.
His situation was far from pleasant,
fraught with hidden dangers.
“What should I do next?”
Should he cautiously follow the original timeline, or take a more proactive approach and make some changes?
Before he could think further, he felt a cold current flowing into his right wrist.
This startled him, who had just completed the memory fusion, and his body jolted awake.
Opening his eyes, he saw a withered old man.
His heart trembled at the sight of this old man,
and his breath caught in his throat:
“Mo…Old Mo!” Mo
Juren, the “Mo” of Mo Juren, the “Ju” of Mo Juren, the “Ren” of Mo Juren.
Who was Mo Juren?
He was the first mentor of the protagonist in his book. He
was also the one who helped the protagonist quickly establish a “heart for immortality” on his path to growth.
He was one of the most colorful characters in his writing.
He was the most influential person throughout the protagonist’s growth!
Without a doubt!
Although his name contained the character “Ren” meaning “benevolence,” his actions had nothing to do with the “Ren” in “benevolence and righteousness.”
This person, though just a mortal human without spiritual roots, destined to be unable to cultivate immortality, possessed a level of cunning in his early schemes and an unwavering dedication to the path of immortality far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators. Give this person a chance, and he might just be able to carve out a future on the long path of cultivation.
Unfortunately,
the lack of spiritual roots is a fatal flaw.
And now, he will replace Han Li, the protagonist of his own book, to directly face this early minor boss,
challenging this first hurdle.
If he can overcome it, he will barely qualify to set foot in the world of cultivation.
If you can’t get through this, you’ll surely die a horrible death.
“Sigh…”
“How did I end up transmigrating into a character from my own book?”
And right before I’m about to face Mo Juren’s initial and most difficult moment?
This is a bit dangerous.
Let Wang Yu (the author) immerse herself in the protagonist’s world and experience it for herself!
