Chapter 1

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Absurd! This is just way too absurd! The noble clan leader of one of the five largest family clans in the Clear Jade Dynasty actually fought with someone else in the academy out of jealousy. He was knocked out in a fight over a woman! How can he make us wait for him here for ten hours? This is just too absurd.” In the Ren family’s massive conference hall, the third elder Ren Hanlin, who was rather short and stout and somewhat bald, was too enraged to remain seated when he heard the news. He stood up and paced back and forth in the conference hall.

His gaze repeatedly shifted towards the family head seat situated at the center of the conference hall and towered over them. The day was passing and the sky was turning dark, yet the seat remained vacant. The absurd family head still remained nowhere to be seen.

“Bam!” The fourth elder Ren Wenxu, who had a horse-like long face, bulged his eyes wide open in anger. “This is becoming more and more outrageous! Look at how he is treating the Elder Conference Day! He should have been back yesterday to prepare for it. But it turned out that he was fighting with someone in the academy instead. If word was to leak out, this would be the greatest joke ever.”

While the duo was expressing their frustrations, the youngster at the furthest end of the conference hall remained there silently instead, as though he was long accustomed to the whole situation.

It was only when those two elders of the Ren family mentioned the family head would a helpless, disdainful smile creep up his face. Is it true that when one is at the pinnacle of power, he is bound to suffer a fall? After twenty years of unprecedented glory under the management of the previous family head, is the Ren family really about to dwindle because it fell into the hands of this good-for-nothing family head? he thought to himself.

Although he was not a member of the Ren family, an uneasy feeling always evoked in his heart when those thoughts came into his mind. In the past year when Wan Hong represented the Sixth Elder in the elder meetings, those instances appeared so often that he was starting to become indifferent to the occurrences.

After the two vented their anger, their gaze collectively turned to the elderly man seated right next to the family head seat. He had a long beard and a grim expression was plastered on his face. That elderly man was no other than Ren Junyang, the current moderator of the elder meetings.

Ren Junyang was here all day too, yet all that awaited him was the news that the current family head of the prestigious Ren family fought in jealousy over a woman and had been knocked out by the opponent.

“Send an apothecary over immediately to find out exactly what happened. Dispatch the personal guards over too. If the family leader is fine and conscious, bring him back here immediately, without any delay. The elder meeting today must go on. We must also add some other agendas to the meeting.” Ren Junyang held a grim face, his beard almost swinging in the air due to the surging breaths bottled up inside him.

If he had not forcefully suppressed his anger, or if he did not have decades of experience appeasing his inner spirit, he would have blurted, “It would be great if he died. Nail him here as long as he is still alive.”

What was the Ren family? It was one of the five biggest founding family clans of the Clear Jade Dynasty. After thousands of years of successions, it was at the peak of its glory. No one expected such a thing to occur. The noble family head of the Ren family had actually…

“That’s right. It seems like we are pampering him too much. He must be back a day in advance for the future Elder Conference Days,” Ren Hanlin said while nodding repeatedly.

Ren Wenxu had a solemn look on his horse-like face. “Not only that, but we should also compress his daily expenses and the family head’s special cash advances even further. I’ll see how he can continue monkeying about without money. He is simply embarrassing the Ren family thoroughly,” he said.

“Haiz!” Wan Hong let out a secret sigh internally. He lifted the teacup and took a sip. Is it really true that after a generation of heroes follows a generation of wimps? Since the Ren family is at the pinnacle of power, is it really bound to suffer a fall? If this situation persists, the various disagreements will definitely erupt in the future, he thought to himself.

Sixth Lord, you did not participate in the Elder Conference Day so as to find some peace and quiet. Yet, you sent me here to suffer a living death. This is even more tormenting than a fatal injury suffered from battling in war. This is equivalent to watching the Ren family dwindle right before my very eyes. This feeling is really…

With the command given by the Second Elder, someone immediately jumped onto a horse and rushed out of the Ren family abode towards the Jade Imperial Academy, one of the top two academies in the Clear Jade Dynasty. It was also widely known as the academy which housed the good-for-nothings in the Clear Jade Dynasty.

“I’ve transmigrated. F*ck! Does this count as a double-transmigration?” Ren Jie touched his throbbing forehead. It had a swell the size of a chicken egg and felt as though he had grown a horn.

But that was no horn. It was a swell developed from a hard blow by an ironwood stool made from the sturdy hornbeam tree. It was at that moment when Ren Jie discovered he had unexpectedly transmigrated. Some information that did not belong to him continuously loaded in his mind.

At that point, Ren Jie felt as if his head was about to explode. That was because the information that gushed into his head was messy and chaotic. Exactly. Absolutely ridiculous, chaotic and useless information.

Pursuing girls, squandering money, fighting, gambling…

F*ck, what the hell was that!

This guy is also called Ren Jie. What were all his actions for?

Ren Jie was downright upset. It was not only because of the unicorn-like swell on his head but more so because of the transmigration. He used to think that the transmigrations in novels and films that he saw, where the protagonist experienced a unique adventure in the alternate universe, were very satisfying and enjoyable. Now that he was the one in that position, he was very, very upset.

Not mentioning the immense pain in his head, he also discovered that there were no abnormalities with his body. He did not gain any benefits and had to leave the Earth which had a technological civilization he was familiar with. From the massive and chaotic memory he had absorbed, he realized that he was in a completely different universe from the Earth.

The swell on his head, the information transmitted, the unsettling feelings he experienced after the transmigration; all these factors gave him a headache.

“F*ck!” Ren Jie punched the wall in anger. That resulted in his hand trembling the very next second. Although the wall quivered as well, the pain that shot through him still made him grimace.

What the f*ck was that? I am just an ordinary student who was reinstalling my laptop operating system. All I did was to borrow portable hard disks that stored abundant pornographic materials from male students in the nearby faculties to copy. All of a sudden, my surroundings turned pitch black and I was here in this unfamiliar universe.

“Argh… It hurts!” The bulging swell on his head hurt, but the messy and chaotic information that gushed into his mind made his head hurt even more. The pain was too much for Ren Jie to handle. He shut his eyes swiftly, hoping that he could enter his mind to control the pain at the back of his mind.

“Boom…” All of a sudden, Ren Jie felt that his consciousness left his body in a split second. No, it did not leave his body, but rather, it went into his mind.

For a split second, it felt as though his mind had exploded. The next moment, balls of lights kept amalgamating and assembling.

This is…? Ren Jie looked in awe at the changing lights before his eyes.

From a minute fraction of the chaotic memory that he barely absorbed, Ren Jie discovered that he had entered his mind through his divine sense. Cultivators possessed divine sense once they had reached a certain threshold in their cultivation.

Slowly, those lights began to cluster and amalgamate…

What is that? Looking at the object the amalgamated lights formed, Ren Jie was completely stunned.

Laptop. Yes, that’s the laptop that I was installing the operating system for before I transmigrated; the one which was copying the huge volumes of pornography.

Is this a joke or a dream? It’s depressing enough not being given any form of divine tools or magical treasures after I transmigrated. Yet, somehow, I’m made to bring this laptop over and what’s more, it exists in this light-like state in my mind. This is simply too ridiculous.

A person with a pockmarked face is not called a pockmarked face, but instead a pit-man. This is a deception1!

Moreover, from the chaotic memory of the original owner of the body, I know that this is definitely not the Earth in my memory. Furthermore, what use is there for a laptop with a bare metal server?

Looking at the laptop which resembled a photon computer from science fiction films, it took Ren Jie some time to calm his agitated emotions. There was nothing he could do other than to regain his composure. The situation had already evolved into this phase.

Ren Jie discovered that the divine sense was much more miraculous than his eyes. With a flicker of his thoughts, his divine sense had closed in on the laptop to observe it. He found out that other than the original material of the laptop that had transformed into balls of lights, nothing else about the laptop had changed. While Ren Jie was deliberating how he was to operate and control this thing in his mind, his divine sense twitched and the “My Computer” feature on the display had opened in the very next moment.

“F*ck, this is incredible.” Ren Jie himself had a shock too. After that, his divine sense manipulated the laptop again and a hidden folder popped open. It contained the classic tapes that he had painstakingly chosen.

However, at that moment, Ren Jie felt an urge to tear up. He did not have the mood to watch these classics at all.

Ren Jie had transmigrated and the laptop had followed by disassembling and integrating into his mind. It existed similar to the form of a photon computer. In the end, other than the newly transferred clips, the computer almost had a bare metal server. Although he was still uncertain about the situation outside, Ren Jie figured from the snippets that gushed into his brain that the situation was not good for him. That was because the last memory of the original owner of the body showed that he was beaten to death by a blow on the head using a stool.

“Huh?” Suddenly, Ren Jie looked at the bottom right corner of the laptop that was formed completely from the special lights in his mind in shock. Wireless… wireless… signal! There was actually a wireless signal. Although the signal was weak, he was certain that it existed.

At that point, Ren Jie felt as though he was struck by currents of lightning. What’s that!

Did God make me transmigrate while allowing me to source the Internet and connect to Earth?

This place is no technological civilization. How am I going to connect!

Ren Jie’s divine sense twitched and a web-page opened immediately. He could key in any website and open it just with his divine sense. However, the result that followed left Ren Jie utterly disappointed. There was no reaction.

Following that, Ren Jie tried experimenting with all sorts of communication tools, Internet audio, and verbal calls, as well as chatting tools. The result did not change.

“Haiz!”

At that moment, Ren Jie felt bitter. It seemed like the state of the laptop had coincided with the state it was in before the transmigration. The signal displayed was some random wireless connection near his dormitory. At that point, Ren Jie’s brain continued adding and absorbing new memories. Although the process was slow, that made him realize presently that this place was definitely not the Earth. It was also not a place with a technological civilization. Hence, it was certainly impossible for Wi-Fi signals to be present.

The joy from the previous discovery was merely a flash in the pan. That ignited a strong sense of disappointment and bewilderment in Ren Jie. He used to find watching others enter a completely new universe in novels and films interesting and enjoyable. But when it came to him, feelings such as unfamiliarity, bewilderment and uneasiness about the unknown were too overwhelming that it made him unaccustomed for a while.

When Ren Jie wanted the divine sense to leave the mind temporarily and return to his body, his “divine sense” stopped abruptly. After that, he shot a deadly “stare” at the display; even though he did not control his body, but only his divine sense, the experience was about the same.

That was because Ren Jie suddenly discovered that there was an additional thing on the display—a video player application. Ren Jie was certain that the operating system that he installed was the simplest version. He had used that version for years and was clear about the basic interface. Additionally, he was a hundred percent certain that he definitely did not install anything else.

“Open!” Ren Jie’s divine sense twitched. He manipulated the laptop and opened the video pop-out window.

“Boom…” At that split second, it felt as though he was watching a holographic display. Ren Jie felt that his divine sense was tugged by a mysterious force. The next moment, he felt as though he was already situated in a peculiar space.

It was a vast and mountainous space. He could vaguely see a few people far away from where he was.

People?

No. Ren Jie felt as though blood from his entire body was gushing upwards to his brain. It was because with a glance, he shockingly found that one of the “people” far away had eighteen hands and twenty-four heads. That “person’s” body was showered completely in golden lights.

Oh my god, how are they considered people?

There was also a yellow-skinned person standing on a lotus stand. A halo shone behind his head, similar to that of a rising sun.

Other than those two guys, there were three more people in front of them. The burliest of the trio had holy energy revolving around him, making it appear as though the Heaven and Earth were surrounding him. He held a bead in his hand.

Beside him were two equally remarkable figures. Ren Jie’s head felt as if it was to explode the moment he saw them. Even the new body that he received after the transmigration was about to burst apart from the blood that was gushing from his entire body to his head.

That was because he was extremely familiar with the rest of them. When he saw the Elder sitting on the green cattle beside the one holding the bead, Ren Jie felt that his brain was really about to stop functioning.

He did not manage to react initially, but when he saw the Elder sitting on the green cattle, his mind was immediately clear. That’s the… the Supreme… Venerable… Lord…

He was the originator of elemental forces; the beginning of Heaven and Earth; the ancestor of nothingness and existence; the incarnation of Daoism (the incarnation of rules and nomological laws of nature). Living above the thirty-three skies, he was the true founder of Daoism; the third of the Paragon Three Pure Ones; he was also known as “The Heavenly Lord of the Dao and its Virtue”, “Old Lord of the Muddled Elements”, “The Heavenly Venerate of Existence”, “The Great Thearch of Supreme Purity”…

Eighteen hands and twenty-four heads. Isn’t that precisely Daoist Zhun Ti, one of the two Cult Leaders of the West?

Although Ren Jie was not as familiar with them as he was with the Supreme Venerable Lord, he had at the very least heard of them before from novels and legends. Meanwhile, the yellow-skinned person should be Daoist Jie In, the other half of the two Cult Leaders of the West.

That meant that the person holding the bead at the center, who was even more dignified than the Supreme Venerable Lord, was the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning. The object he was holding in his hand should be the Muddled Elements Bead…

Needless to say, the last person was the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure…

The Jade Pure Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning; the Upper Pure Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure; the Supreme Pure Heavenly Lord of the Dao and its Virtue; Daoist Jie In and Daoist Zhun Ti, the two Cult Leaders of the West—they constituted the Five Saints.

The reason why Ren Jie was so stunned was due to the fact that he had a unique premonition that this was not some movie, television film or some ordinary imagery. That was because he could experience an indescribable feeling which made him finally understand what presence was. The presence he felt was ten million, no, a billion times stronger than the emotions of an ordinary soldier when he suddenly found the general he idolized was standing beside him.

If that was a mere film, Ren Jie believed that the film would scare most people out of their wits if it was made into a horror movie. That feeling was authentic and unable to be forged…

Although he was using his divine sense, Ren Jie found that he was unable to move at all. Although they were far away, their presence still made him lose control over his body.

What are they talking about?

After he recovered from the shock, Ren Jie eventually found that he was able to see their mouths moving clearly even though they were a great distance away. They seem to be discussing something…

Ren Jie was not able to hear their voices. However, through observing their movements, Ren Jie felt that distant and immeasurable something which helped his divine sense realm to transform continuously. Time was short, but it appeared painstakingly slow in that sphere. Although Ren Jie could not hear a thing, that mere feeling made him undergo a process similar to spiritual apes and monkeys studying human actions. His cultivation realm had experienced some kind of change.

These changes made Ren Jie even more eager to hear exactly what they were saying…

At that moment, Ren Jie finally understood a saying—if I were to understand the nomological laws in the morning, I would be willing to die at sunset. At that moment, he had an urge to risk everything to hear the voices, even if it meant dying immediately.

“Boom!” It was only a split second when Ren Jie was trying his best to hear the voices of the Five Saints that the view before him changed suddenly. He found that he was “staring” at the laptop which transformed into a photon computer. The video pop-out window that was opened previously had disappeared.

Ren Jie immediately manipulated his divine sense to open that video pop-out window, but to no avail.

This is weird. Did I lose control over the laptop?

Ren Jie’s divine sense twitched. The next moment, without any pause or the need to load, an artistic film of a man and a woman performing the most primitive human reproduction act in a simple location had started…

This is way too clear and realistic.

In a brief moment, there were sounds too. The impact of the video was stronger than that of a live, genuine performance. Ren Jie was shocked too. He used his divine sense to turn down the volume hurriedly.

It’s nice having sounds, but why can’t I toggle this window? However, Ren Jie accidentally discovered that his divine sense was many times stronger than it was before. With him as the pivot, the area covered had expanded multiple times.

Ren Jie’s head had never been clearer than it was now. Furthermore, the oblivion and terror present before had greatly subsided.

The feeling that he experienced was too pleasurable. It felt as though he was immersed within. The feeling was beyond alluring. It was akin to an epiphany and total realization. That distracted him from thoroughly enjoying that unique primitive human reproduction artistic film.

That’s it?

At this point, Ren Jie suddenly realized that the wireless signal at the bottom right corner was gone.

Did the signal have any link to the video? How do I make the signal reappear? How do I reconnect to that video…

While Ren Jie was pondering about that, he felt a stream of special energy suddenly gushing from his body to form pure energy that integrated into the signal in no time. Ren Jie could vaguely see the signal starting to change.

Splendid! Ren Jie jumped in joy in his heart. His divine sense twitched to manipulate the video pop-out window immediately.

There was finally a reaction. The window opened directly to display the same scenarios and images as before. Ren Jie experienced that wonderful feeling again.

“Swish!” Merely a few seconds later, Ren Jie found that the images were compressing again. He could clearly feel that the energy that gushed out from his body had been thoroughly depleted by the video. He finally understood the saying “A cup of water is insufficient to douse a burning cart of firewood”.

“Master… A master is here…” At that moment, Ren Jie suddenly heard people shouting outside.

Master? Did something happen? Did they find out that the person within this body is not the original Ren Jie? Or are they planning to do something else? Hearing the voices, uneasiness grew within Ren Jie. His divine sense immediately returned to his body and he shot his eyes open.

Everything was fine before he opened his eyes. Ren Jie had just exited the state with the Five Saints discussing Dao. His divine sense was still in that wonderful realm. At that point in time, he was thoroughly shocked when he opened his eyes abruptly and sat up.

The reason was that he saw a young nude beauty rushing in from outside very clearly. She was not in the very least covered. Even though she appeared to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, her body was perfectly developed. The focal point was how beautiful her body was. The places that should be big were big, and the places that should be small were small.

At that moment, Ren Jie was astounded by what he saw. Am I… am I still in a dream? Or am I imagining realistic three-dimensional classical films in my brain?

Otherwise, why would there be a beautiful girl entering naked? Dream… this must be a dream.
