Chapter 1:

inhalation!

" where am I ?" I notice that I am not in my usual room and I am not in any place I know

I try to get up but fall to the ground due to severe pain in my head

' Damn !! What is happening …'

These are my last thoughts before I lose consciousness on the ground

"Ah~, that hurts." I muster some strength to get up from the ground, but I find memories in my head that I don't have, which makes me wonder.

"...Have you become a transient??" It was the first thought that came to my mind after I got the memories of this body

I sit on the bed and try to process my situation, which makes me exhausted

'I am the young master of a second-rate family. It appears that I am at the beginning realm of Martial Peak where the people of the Yang family were sent out to train a year ago.'

I get an excited smile on my face from all the plans forming in my head as there are only two years left before the story begins

I open the door to my room and head to the main hall, where I see a woman in her thirties with extreme beauty

"Baek Jong Hyuk, why are you here so early??" This beautiful woman looks at me with concern and kindness.

"Auntie, I have thought about marrying into the Lan family and I agree to it." I suppress all my complicated emotions while focusing on my plan.

"What suddenly changed your mind? You were opposed to the marriage only yesterday."

"Actually, I thought about it and decided to stop being childish and think about the family's interests."

I say with complete conviction, which surprises the aunt in front of me and brings a happy smile to her face

"I knew you would change your mind in the end. I'm glad you've matured, my child. You've saved me a lot of headaches."

"Since you willingly agreed, you can choose the reward you want." She patted my shoulder happily while

"You know, you remind me of your father. He was always stubborn, but he would make the right decision after he calmed down. Unfortunately, he died early and left me the burden of the clan."

She sighs sadly as she recalls the memories

"Okay, rest now. Don't forget today's training."

I nod as I leave

I open my eyes as I come out of the meditative state, as I notice that my talent is not good at all as I have been training since the age of five but have barely reached the True Item Realm in Stage 2.

"After 10 years from the beginning of the story, Yang Kai will become at the Saint Realm or above, while I, through 20 years of cultivation, have barely reached the True Item Realm as I begin to feel the limits of my talent."

A determined look forms in my eyes

"I wonder if Yang Kai found the black book or not?"

"Well, I guess I'll have to visit the Upper Heaven Pavilion to find out." He got up and headed to the training ground

inhalation

exhalation

"With the speed of your training, it will take you ten years to break through to the Nascent Spirit Realm," Baek Lo says with a smile, causing me to sigh at the severity of my poor talent.

"By the way, some of our people will be deployed to scout for talents in the lower sects. Are you interested?"

Her words capture some of my interest, prompting me to ask a question

"Really? What sects will we be recruiting newbies from?"

"How strange is your interest? After all, there is the Sword Sect, the Red Lotus, the Ice Palace… the Upper Heaven Pavilion..."

Pick up the name you wanted to hear but pretend to ignore it

"Does any name interest you?" she asks curiously

"Not really, but I will let you know if I decide to participate." I get up while cleaning the dust from my clothes

"Okay, but you have to tell me tomorrow, as they will leave in two days for recruitment."

"Okay, I will answer tomorrow." He left the training ground

"Young master, your bath is ready."

My maid called Ani bows respectfully

.

.

"Sigh, being a young master of a second-rate clan is really beautiful."

Relax as I hold some foam in my hand and blow it in the air, looking out at the spacious bathroom

"But this life won't last long. I have to travel around the higher realms and forge my strength."

Float on the water while staring at the ornate ceiling

"That's without talking about all the treasures and opportunities I have to obtain and the techniques I have to create."

Get out of the water grabbing a towel

"But the question now is, after obtaining the Golden Temple, will I lose my cultivation or will I continue?"

Get my clothes ready and head out

"If my memory does not fail me, after Yang Kai possessed the Golden Temple, his cultivation did not decline, but Yang Kai did not exceed Body Refinement, would the same be the case for me?"

"I won't know until I try?"

I'm sitting in the garden while I see my maid bringing a cup of tea

I take a sip as the hot liquid goes down my throat and moves to my stomach. Suddenly a refreshing feeling spreads through my body

"Is this tea different from usual?"

According to the memories of the owner of the body, the tea he drank was normal, although it was one of the finest types of tea in the world, but it had no effect on agriculture.

"The Sect Leader has ordered that resources be focused on you to break through to the Nascent Spirit Realm as quickly as possible."

Take another sip of the delicious tea. Usually, the sect elders would strongly object because this meant that their descendants' share of resources would be severely reduced, which would affect the speed of their growth.

"Didn't the sheikhs object to this decision?" I ask

"They opposed it at first, but the leader promised them that this decision would not last for more than a year and the sect would gain another cultivator in the Nascent Spirit Realm," she answered calmly.

Its intensity reminds me how terrifying Yang Kai's talent was after obtaining the Golden Temple, as he did not even obtain the same amount of resources as me, but his cultivation speed was terrifying.

"Sigh, all these resources but I still have difficulties breaking through to the Nascent Spirit Realm."

"Sir, you are one of the most prominent talents in this era. Even many members of major clans have not achieved what you have achieved." My maid, Annie, encourages me brightly.

I smile and get up to take a tour of the cult. Although I know almost every part of it from my memories, I want to see it with my own eyes.

"Ani, go and get me the list of sects from which we will recruit initiates," he ordered

Annie bows respectfully as she quietly leaves
