2 The Man from the Celestial World

Among the many high hills in Zenith Heaven, the red hill wasn't one of the tallest.

But because of its countless red maple trees, this red hill was one of the scenic spots for the disciples to spend some of their leisure time around.

However, the red hill was never really popular before the legendary genius arrived. In comparison with the surrounding glorious hills, the red hill looked relatively pale.

Ever since the legendary genius moved in, the red hill suddenly became one of the most glamorous spots in the sect. Everyone wished to see the Son of Qilin with their own eyes, but only a few of them had their wish come true.

But, every single one of those who had seen the Son of Qilin in person all spoke very highly of him.

There were even rumors floating around that Senior Sister Zi Yun had a crush on the Son of Qilin. No one really knew if these rumors were true as they didn't dare to talk too much gossip about their Eldest-Senior-Brother-To-Be.

At this time.

A figure clad in white slowly appeared.

Fiery maple leaves were flying and swirling behind the young man, this scene was an absolute feast for the eyes.

A gorgeous young man wearing a long embroidered gown slowly walked out. He was about six feet tall, looking extremely handsome and graceful.

The young man looked just like a celestial deity walking out from a painting.

He was so extraordinary, not just in terms of his appearance, but also in the unspeakable aura he possessed.

Everything around him suddenly appeared dull. The young man had a magical charm that could immediately attract everyone's eyes.

The scene of the fiery maple leaves scattering in the air suddenly became colorless and dry because of the young man's presence.

All of the people who were watching were stunned.

Upon staring at the young man, the new disciples stopped thinking.

He was extremely like a deity.

It was mainly because of the otherworldly aura he emanated and his pair of eyes that were as deep as the starry sky.

Standing under a red maple tree, the peerless young man had a gourd-shaped drinking vessel made of jade in his hand; this gave him quite a classic, scholarly temperament.

The disciples all remained silent with a blank expression on their faces. When they finally came back to their senses, a poem's line spontaneously occurred to them—

The man should only live in the heavenly world; but somehow, he fell into this mundane world.

Perhaps the young man was indeed an immortal who was only here in this world to take a tour.

Earlier, they were deeply shocked by the magnificent scene they saw.

However, the young man's presence amazed them all and even made them share the same feelings:

Only such a magnificent phenomenon could match the young man's demeanor.

At this moment, a profound silence prevailed. No one said a single word nor made any noise.

They were just looking at the young immortal who somehow got dismissed by the heavens.

Standing at the top of the red hill under the maple tree, Lu Changsheng stared into the distance.

His aura was so extraordinary that even being in a daze made the look on his face rather significant, as if he was contemplating the ultimate essence of Dao. What was more was that there were flows of light circulating around him, chasing the balance between Yin and Yang.

However, Lu Changsheng was the only one who knew the truth; this was merely a fake impression.

The truth was, all of these were in fact, fake impressions.

Three years ago, he was merely an ordinary salesman who struggled to make a living everyday. However, he suddenly transmigrated during a rainy night by accident.

He came to this boundless cultivation world.

He thought that he would start as a big loser like how most web novels unfolded. However, to his great surprise, he was endowed with an incredibly gorgeous appearance with a celestial aura. His charm value reached the highest peak.

He could even maintain this heavenly demeanor even if he didn't speak a single word, looking too profound to be understood by an ordinary human being.

Lu Changsheng thought that he was going to have a brilliant and wonderful life in this world because only a legendary genius deserved this face.

The beginning of the story did unfold itself just as Lu Changsheng expected.

The first day he came to this world of cultivation, he ran into a group of mysterious men calling themselves Sect Masters and Senior Elders.

All of them wanted him to be their student.

After witnessing the fierce fight between the eight men, he finally decided to become a disciple of Zenith Heaven and came to the sect.

His cultivation now started, and this was without a doubt, a very good beginning for him. However, tragedy soon followed.

He started cultivating as soon as he arrived. His master, the Sect Master of Zenith Heaven, was so generous that Lu Changsheng was directly given the sect's top cultivation technique, he was even taught by the Sect Master in person.

However, what he never expected was that he had a really hard time understanding the technique.

His master gave him countless precious herbs to help him refine his body, laying a solid foundation for cultivation. Therefore, he still managed to break the record in Zenith Heaven.

Lu Changsheng spent three years finishing the Qi Refining stage, he was now a Qi Refining cultivator.

In the world of cultivation, there were eleven major stages: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Gold Core, Nascent Formation, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Soul Splitting, Fusion, Tribulation Transcendence, and Mahayana. Each of these major stages could be further divided into four levels: Preliminary, Middle, Advanced, and Complete.

Lu Changsheng had just reached the Preliminary level of the Qi Refining stage.

However, what really stunned him was the magnificent natural phenomenon induced by his breakthrough.

Lu Changsheng almost started wondering if he just made a huge achievement by accident without knowing. However, after giving it a second thought, he knew that it was impossible.

Until now, Lu Changsheng finally realized that he was just an ordinary young man, he was neither an idiot nor a genius.

Even though he was the slowest in Zenith Heaven, he was definitely above average in the world of cultivation.

The only cheat code he had was his typical main character face, demeanor, and aura.

Indeed…

Based on his careful study of himself in the past three years, Lu Changsheng found that no matter what he did, extraordinary things would naturally happen.

Taking what just happened for example, making such a breakthrough to the Qi Refining stage wasn't a big deal, but an extremely magnificent natural phenomenon was induced.

However, it was merely an illusion, a bluff, a stunt, it was of no real use.

Also, every time Lu Changsheng made a breakthrough, he would then learn a new passive skill.

The passive skill he just acquired was the flow of Qi circulating around him.

As long as he started thinking, the flowing Qi of Yin and Yang would circulate around him and form a Taiji diagram.

In the eyes of those who knew nothing about this secret, it seemed like Lu Changsheng was contemplating the Dao.

In the world of cultivation, to enter the state of contemplating Dao was extremely hard. Even the greatest sages and wise-men might only manage to enter the stage once or twice in their lives.

However, because of his demeanor, it seemed like he could enter the stage anytime he wanted.

But the truth was, he was actually thinking about what he should have for dinner.

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh once again.

He didn't know what to say.

This world of cultivation believed in the law of the jungle.

Even though Lu Changsheng had a face that only a protagonist should have in a novel, he actually had no talent at all. Would he be able to survive in this cruel world?

Maybe he should find a lady to rely on…

While thinking this, he took a glance at the ladies at the foot of the red hill.

This quick glance of his made all the women's hearts beat fast.

Lu Changsheng sighed again.

Lifting his jade gourd, Lu Changsheng took a sip at it before walking back to his place.

He was extremely worried.

He had no idea what he should do now.

While he was thinking this, he saw a man standing in front of his place.

It wasn't just a random passerby.

The man just outside his place was Lu Changsheng's master.

Perfected Qing Yun.
