Chapter 1: Transmigration

"Hiss, my headaches and hurts…"

Lin Dong struggled to open his somewhat heavy eyes. Once he had done that, he felt a tidal wave of intense pain coming straight to his head, causing him to hold his head and let out a painful groan and moan.

Ten minutes later…

"Where am I? What exactly is this place?"

As the pain dissipated, Lin Dong slowly sat up from his laid-down position. He looked around the ancient room which he was in for quite some time while his brain froze as he digested what happened.

"I… my name is Lin Dong and I used to live on the planet Earth. I…seem to…have transmigrated…and become a Lin Dong here, wherever here is." Just when he was about to dig deeper into this world's Lin Dong's memories…

BANG

The door to the ancient room was knocked open by a round creature no person. A childish and anxious cry came from the person.

"Lin Dong, Lin Dong, your father is dying!!"

"Bullshit, your father is the one who is dying!" Lin Dong subconsciously raised his head to retort back to the slightly fat and round look-alike ball of a seven or eight-year-old child who barged in.

Lin Dong's mind subconsciously provided the young child's name, Lin Changqiang who was his fifth uncle's son and his childhood playmate with whom he has great relations. It was then his thought process slightly stagnated as his grandfather only had one son who was his father. Where did he get this fifth uncle from? But before he was able to think further about this discovery, he was pulled off the bed and dragged outside by Lin Chang Gun. The playmate mumbled the following words as he dragged him out:

"Really, Uncle Lin Xiao has returned from the clan competition in Dayan County. He lost the competition, also was seriously injured by a single move, and potentially could lose his life. Father told me to hurry up and call you over…There is no time to waste. You should come with me!"

And just like that, a dumfounded Lin Dong was pulled by an anxious Lin Changqiang all the way to a spacious and simple room that was crowded with one somber-faced clan member after another.

They were clustered in front of a collapsed martial-looking young man whose face was pale, eyes tightly closed, and a little bit of severity visible between his eyebrows that clearly showed he was still suffering from heavy injuries.

After arriving here, Lin Changqiang, who had been acting unusually lively on the way, did not dare to be reckless when pulling Lin Dong to cower in a corner of the room while pointing to said collapsed man and quietly stating, "Here, now you see that I was telling the truth…your father is right there looking to have almost lost his life."

Lin Dong, who did not yet get time to dig deeper into his memories, stared at the collapsed man, the beautiful woman who is guarding said man, and the old man in a brocade shirt with a somewhat majestic form in a lost manner.

The beautiful woman asked her father-in-law and patriarch of their Lin family with a shocked face as she held back her grief, "Father, what the hell is going on with Xiao-Ge? He is a Heavenly Yuan powerhouse. Didn't you all go together to the inner clan of Dayan County to participate in the clan competition?"

The majestic old man's face was gloomy, his pursed lips dry and cracked, and his voice rather hoarse as he explained to everyone, "When Old Xiao was participating in the first competition, he met a genius youngster named Lin Langtian from the inner clan and was defeated by him in one move. That Lin Langtian not only crushed Xiao-san but also struck extremely viciously using his rampant Yuan Power to destroy Xiao-san's body to what you see here.

Old Third's body is now bruised up with serious injuries and his meridians are blocked to the point that not only has his cultivation fallen from the Heavenly Yuan realm back to the Earthly Yuan realm, but also, he will not be able to advance an inch for the rest of his life."

Brother Xiao's wife stunned by her father-in-law's words muttered, "That means that Xiao-Ge has become a crippled person?", like a lost soul. How could things have developed to such a state? Her husband was the first of the five brothers to break through the Ninth level of Body Tempering and enter the Earth Yuan realm, and in just four years' time he had broken through to the realm of Heavenly Yuan becoming the second Heavenly Yuan expert after the Lin family patriarch, Lin Zhentian.

Lin Zhentian would always reveal an extremely satisfied smile thinking about his third son's cultivation speed.

When the clan competition came, as it does once every ten years, she still remembers Lin Xiao confidently and proudly telling her that "A Yan, I will definitely enter the top ten of the clan meeting so that our Qing Yang Town Lin family can go back to the inner clan." At the time he was so proud of himself, but now he has become a crippled person who would not be able to advance or progress further for the rest of his life. Liu Yan, who knows her husband's character, knows that when he wakes up, he will feel tormented and deep remorse for what he has fallen into now.

The majestic old man gives an explanation after a period of silence, "Crippled, not so much. With the Lin family around Xiao-san will not be treated as such. Don't worry, he will wake up tomorrow, and take good care of him." The old man started to leave not wanting to stay any longer after stating this piece.

After all, his best son fell into such a state and his hope of returning to the inner clan was dashed. He was overwhelmed and unable to accept it.

As this was going on, the light in Lin Dong's eyes grew brighter and brighter all the while muttering excitedly "Lin family, Lin Xiao, Lin clan, Lin Langtian…I know, this is the Tian Xuan Continent, and I am currently in the Qing Yang Town of the Great Yan Dynasty…"

BOOM

Before he could finish this thought, he saw blackness cover his eyes and dense memories hit like a tidal wave from the depths of his mind in a frenzy, and fainted. This world's Lin Dong's memories began to fuse with him entirely.

Lin Changqiang who was by Lin Dong's side was the first to notice and catch him all the while shouting loudly in panic "Lin Dong, Lin Dong, what happened to you? Father, look guys, Lin Dong has fainted because he was overwhelmed with grief!!!"

Lin Zhentian, who had reached the door of the room, stopped in his tracks and looked towards the fainted Lin Dong, and let out a long sigh, "Alas, Xiao-san has given birth to a good son, fuu, you guys take care of Dong'er." While shaking his head, he left with a sad face as he cannot show a weak side in the clan ever.

Dong'er's mother. Liu Yan's eyes were filled with tears as she guarded her husband and watched her son fall unconscious once again. She had no idea what she should do. On one hand, her husband was seriously injured and unconscious, her son has fainted due to being overwhelmed with grief, and her daughter was too young to become aware of this news yet. She, a weak woman, does not know how to resist this or what she should even do to help her family overcome this issue.

Several women from the other four houses immediately comforted her, "Liu Yan, it is okay, he just temporarily passed out. Come on Long Gun help Dong'er up quickly…"

….

In an unknown place, changes quietly arose, and the wheel of history began to slowly turn, heading in an unknown direction.

In that year, Lin Dong was eight years old, and Lin Xiao was twenty-six.
