Dou Qi continent, Northwest Continent,
Jia Ma Empire, Wutan City
Xiao Family,
"Hey, I didn't expect to really cross like many online novel travelers. I have always wanted this, but everything feels unreal to me."
A four-year-old boy stared at the bronze mirror in front of him. The reflection that stared back showed a soft, round face with innocent eyes. But inside that small frame, his mind was far from innocent.
He pinched his cheeks hard.
"Ow!" The pain made him wince. "This really isn't a dream!"
The unfamiliar surroundings, the ancient décor, and the faint scent of herbs in the air all felt too real. After doing various actions to ensure this wasn't a dream, he could finally accept he was crossing to another world.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar stream of memories surged into his mind like a bursting dam. His small body trembled slightly, and his breathing turned uneven.
"Wait... this world…" His eyes widened in realization.
Isn't it the Dou Qi Continent?
That story of the fighting spirit turning into a horse ahem, it's Dou Qi transforming into wings. the novel called Battle Through the Heavens! It has famous quote like '30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young man".
As a hardcore otaku and someone familiar with novels, Xiao Feng was far too familiar with this place.
This was a world ruled by Dou Qi, where strength determined everything. A world where mountains could be shattered with a wave of the hand, seas could be boiled, and even space could be torn apart by peak experts.
The combat power of this world is quite high, and there is even a Great Ruler world above this world.
In this world, cultivation was divided into ten realms:
Dou Zhi Qi,
Dou Zhe,
Dou Shi,
Da Dou Shi,
Dou Ling,
Dou Wang—those who could condense Dou Qi wings and soar through the skies,
Dou Huang,
Dou Zong—those who could initially control space and stand upon the void,
Dou Zun—masters who could freely manipulate space and create spatial channels,
Dou Sheng—beings whose every gesture could collapse space itself,
and finally…
Dou Di
Each realm was further divided into nine minor stages, except for the legendary Dou Di. That realm had vanished from history. For tens of thousands of years, no one on the continent truly knew what lay beyond it.
"I actually landed in such a high level world."
Xiao Feng's voice trembled slightly and a sense of excitement welled up in his heart.
As he completely absorbed his memories, Xiao Feng understood his new identity. He was Xiao Feng, the grandson of the Xiao Family's Second Elder.
"Xiao Feng… so I'm part of Xiao Yan's family, the protagonist of this world?"
This kind of coincidence made his excited heart return to calm and for a brief moment, panic crept in. This world wasn't exactly kind to bystanders.
There was the Soul Heavenly Emperor who refined half of the world to become Dou Di, and there were countless villains who did evil in this world.
In a world without law or order, the strong can prey on the weak, and you don't know when you will die under the attack of a passing by strong man.
Although he felt lucky and happy to be able to cross, it was too bad to cross into such a dangerous world.
Just as Xiao Feng was thinking, an electronic voice sounded in his mind
[ Host detected ]
[ Ding! The Chaos System of Heaven has been bound! ]
[ Ding! Get the Novice Gift package. ]
Xiao Feng froze.
"A system?!"
With a system in his hand, he can have the world.
This sentence was common in most Chinese transmigration novel.
But Xiao Feng didn't feel too excited
Most brain dead Chinese protagonist's think that getting a system with transmigration is normal but he didn't think so.
He knew about novels in which the protagonist is cheated on by the system, and in the end, he became a fruit to be harvested by the system. Some systems even make the protagonist work like a coolie.
There are also being like Main God, Reincarnation Paradise, etc. Those are really heavy weight capitalist.who force 007. They can send you to the sky in one click.
It's a literal send.
Your soul will be scattered too.
Just thinking about those things made his mind freeze.
This wasn't paranoia, it was a survival instinct. Blind trust in a system could be a death sentence.
When he read Chinese novels, Xiao Feng never understood why protagonist's would follow the system, treat it as normal and, listen to it's every command.
[ Ding! Does the host want to open the novice package? ]
When he saw the message, Xiao Feng thought them laughed out loud.
From the looks of it, he couldn't do anything to this system as he didn't have any strength. Since that's the case then let's not worry about this matter for now. We can figure things out once we becomes stronger.
[ Ding! Does the host want to open the novice package? ]
The message flashed on the system interface once again.
Xiao Feng nodded: "Open the novice gift package."
[ Ding! The Novice gift package has been opened. ]
[ Innate Holy Eucharist Dao Fetus, Chaos Devouring Art, Chaos Body Refining Art(Volume 1) ]
"What the hell?"
After seeing the rewards, Xiao Feng couldn't help but be stunned.
[ Innate Holy Eucharist Dao Fetus: A supreme physique equal to the Chaos Body. Unmatched in cultivation speed, comprehension, and affinity with the Dao. Originating from the Covering the Sky world, this physique was once favored even by the heavens. ]
[ Chaos Devouring Art: It can absorb any type of energy and transform it for the host's cultivation( whether it is strange fire, poison, thunder, etc., even time and space energy can also be absorbed ). It is an exercise of Holy Grade according to the Great Ruler world.
Note: As the host's Cultivation progresses, its level will automatically increase until it reaches perfection. ]
[ Chaos Body Refining Art (Volume 1): A combination of Alchemy, Spirit Runes, Formations, Traditional Indian Medicine, Traditional Chinese medicine, etc, all solely focusing on refining the body. This technique is divided into 100 levels. The first 100 correspond to the cultivation system of this world. Any substance can be used for body refinement; Heavenly fire, thunder, space, five elements, karma, and more
Note: There are follow-up volumes that the host can get through special sign-in, mission reward, or mall.]
The three novice rewards were like 5 star legendary golden pulls. They dazzled Xiao Feng's eyes. For a moment, the fear of the transmigration disappeared a lot and Xiao Feng clenched his fist as his confidence surged.
Knock-knock
Just as Xiao Feng was about to inquire about the system and get the rewards, a knock on the door disturbed his thoughts.
"Xiao Feng, it's time wake up or you will be late for breakfast." A girl's cheerful voice came from outside.
The door creaked open, revealing a girl slightly older than him. Xiao Feng's memories told him her identity: Xiao Yu, his cousin and the granddaughter of the Grand Elder. Her relationship with him was very close. They often played together and she also doted on him, treating him like a younger brother.
"Morning Yu Jie?" Xiao Feng yawned lazily, "Is it already time for breakfast?"
Last night, he did not fall asleep due to the excitement of time travel. Now that he was reminded by Xiao Yu, he started feeling sleepy.
"Little rascal, don't fall asleep on me? The sun is on your head wash up quickly!" Xiao Yu said in slightly annoyed yet helpless tone.
There was reason why she came to wake up Xiao Feng daily.
"Ah, where is the sun on my head!?"
Xiao Feng looked at the sun which had just risen in the east and was speechless by Xiao Yu's words.
Were all women like this? Back in his past life, his mother was just like Xiao Yu. She would say it was 8 AM when it was actually 6 AM and forcefully pull him up from bed for school. It was so annoying.
"Are you talking back to your sister?" Xiao Yu pinched his cheek roughly.
"Ah, Sister Xiao Yu! Let go!"
The cool sensation of a young girl's palm holding his cheek caused Xiao Feng to feel lost for a second. As a virgin of two lifetimes, his face turned slightly red. Feeling embarrassed, he struggled to break free but it was no use.
As a 5-star Dou Zhi Qi, Xiao Yu was far stronger than his untrained self. So despite his struggle, Xiao Feng couldn't escape the fate of being pinched.
"Hmph, now you know how to beg for mercy," Xiao Yu let go of his cheeks.
Xiao Feng rubbed his slightly red face and looked at her with resentful eyes. This was first time, he has harassed by a girl younger than himself. He swore, he would get it back someday.
Xiao Yu found his puffed up cheeks very cute and poked it.
Facing this older sister with extraordinary strength, Xiao Feng had no capital to resist. He could only be played like a doll once again.
After playing for a while, Xiao Yu finally remembered the serious business.
Together, they walked to the dining room, where a large table awaited, filled with members of the Xiao Family.
Unlike the how everyone in ordinary family would get together to eat in his past life, the Xiao family was slightly different. The Xiao family was hundreds of times bigger than ordinary family in his past life with thousands of members at the very least.
It's dining system naturally couldn't be family oriented with everyone getting together for a meal everyday otherwise one dining hall wouldn't be enough to hold them.
Children below the age of five were taken care of by maids or by their elders and their meals were arranged separately by the family as their young body needed nourishment, both for a healthy growth and to strengthen their body for future practice.
As for those above 5, I am sorry but Xiao Feng didn't know about their situation.
Xiao Feng observed his surroundings and silently took his seat
His eyes fell on a young boy seated at the head of the table. The boy's posture was straight, eyes sharp and he possessed am innate arrogance that seemed to look down on everyone.
Isn't this Xiao Yan? Why is he looking at everyone with such chunnibyou look as if he is the only one in the world.
Xiao Feng shook his head. He couldn't understand his thoughts.
Xiao Yan's life wasn't easy, and he worked hard to get to where he did in the original work. But on his way to rise, he was very irresponsible. He broke the hearts of too many girls.
As the saying goes, if you don't want them, then why provoke them?
When he was a child, he was also a lecher who would sneak into Gu Xun'er's room and had thoughts about her, a little loli.
Xiao Yan was also a time traveler, and according to the original work, he was a middle-aged man when he time traveler. If he molested a loli in his previous life, he would be sent to jail directly.
"What a waste. If you don't want them, I'll take them." Xiao Feng thought to himself.
He wasn't interested in Xiao Yan, and he didn't want to pay attention to him. Anyway, they were cousin in name, and he wasn't cruel enough to judge the current Xiao Yan for his actions in the original work.
After all, none of those things have happened yet.
Plus, his arrival was destined to change many things.
As Xiao Feng was thinking, the dinner was also served.
But looking at his bowl filled with purple stew like a poison, emitting medicinal fragrance, Xiao Feng felt he could see a skull rising in the middle of the stew.
Although there were also few more dishes served together, Xiao Feng felt he had lost his appetite because they were similar to the purple stew. All were medicinal food.
It was only then that he remembered that in order to nourish their body and lay down the foundation, the young children weren't allowed to eat meat and could only eat magical herbs that were mild in nature and could strengthen their body and foundation for future cultivation.
Looking at the bubbling purple stew. Xiao Feng hesitated again and again. He was really afraid of being poisoned. Was this really not dark cuisine.
If I don't go to hell, who will? With a determination of death, Xiao Feng took a spoonful of stew but he only touched it lightly with his tongue.
"Hmm~"
"Delicious~"
Xiao Feng opened his eyes in surprise. He never thought that dish that liked like a dark dish could be so delicious. He instantly forgot his restraint and are in big mouthfuls.
