Beginning

"Go master Zheng beat him up" A person said.

"Yeah punish him" Another person said.

"Zhou you fool did you think that you could beat me? me the strongest person here? your a fool for thinking that you could beat me" Zheng said.

Meanwhile the person in question was thinking to himself.

'Huh? Where the hell am I?' Zhou asked.

'And why are there people surrounding me? and why are they wearing clothes from ancient china?' Zhou asked.

"Zhou today is the day you suffer" Zheng said.

"Who are you?" Zhou asked.

"You have to be kidding me. are you saying this to get out of this situation?" Zheng asked.

"I honestly don't know what's going on" Zhou said.

"I will not play this game of yours. are you ready to die?" Zheng asked.

"Wait what? we're fighting to the death?" Zhou asked.

"Well yeah obviously" Zheng said.

"Wait a minute I have to do something" Zhou said.

"Wait you can't just quit come back" Zheng said.

Before Zheng could notice Zhou already left.

"Wha where did he go?" Zheng asked.

"I don't know" A person said.

"What do you mean you don't know? he was right there?" Zheng asked.

"¯\_(ツ)_/¯" A person expressed.

"Damn you Zhou!!!!!!!" Zheng screamed.

Meanwhile Zhou was standing there amused even though he was confused.

'Thankfully I learned disguising in school' Zhou said.

'Now back to the main topic. where am I?' Zhou asked.

First thing that Zhou did was leave the scene and looked for a building resembling a inn.

Zhou entered the doors and was met with a room full of your typical Chinese cultivation characters.

The loud person

The beauty sitting alone

The young master trying to court the beauty

The mysterious old man

And finally the shady group of people

"Hey how can I help you today?" the inn manager asked.

"Umm how much does it cost to stay here for one night?" Zhou asked.

"That would be 10 copper coins" the inn manager said.

[Note: for those who are confused about the currency system here it is:

1 Copper = 1 Copper

1 Silver = 100 copper

1 gold = 100 silver

1 diamond = 100 gold

1 platinum = 100 diamond

1 golden platinum = 100 platinum

1 Lesser Spiritual stone = 100 golden platinum

1 Superior Spiritual stone = 100 lesser spiritual stone

1 Supreme Spiritual stone = 100 superior spiritual stone]

Now back to the story:

Zhou then reached out to his pocket and handed the manager 10 copper coins.

"Here's your keys" the inn manager said.

"Thanks, also how much is breakfast?" Zhou asked.

"That would be 5 copper coins" the inn manager said.

"Ok thanks" Zhou said.

Zhou then went to his room which he navigated using the number on the keys he was given.

When Zhou opened the door he was greeted by a simple room with a bed a desk and a chair which was sufficient.

Zhou then approached the bed and then jumped on it.

Zhou was then hit with the feeling of comfort and slept almost immediately.

*Time skip a few hours*

In the middle of the night Zhou suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain and caused him to wake up but the pain was too strong so Zhou then picked up a pillow and slammed his head into in and screamed from the top of his lungs.

*Ahhh!!!!*

After a few minutes of enduring the pain he then relaxed for a bit and cleared his mind before he then felt memories from who knows where entering his mind.

'So that's why that Zheng guy was so mad at me' Zhou said.

So basically Zhou was a prodigy at learning and compression that is like he could learn techniques and master it in a few moves that was how monstrous Zhou's talent was.

The problem was he had the weakest core or to put it at that he was a cripple in cultivation that is basically he could not cultivate.

But more on that later Zhou was born into a prestigious family and when his "Parents" discovered of his heaven defying talent.

So he was treated as the most powerful of his generation in his family.

But there was one kid who despised Zhou it was his cousin Zheng who was previously the strongest kid.

But when everyone discovered that Zhou has the worst core he was bullied and trashed for it.

And Zheng got the last laugh since he was once again the strongest of the bunch so he could enjoy the benefits given.

But what the others didn't know is that Zhou's core was so powerful it caused every strand of essence gained from cultivation to basically provide nourishment to it self.

And on one faithful day Zhou's core was finally unleashed which created a phenomenon to happen in the sky like it was telling the people something.

But that kind of thing happens every year so they ignored it.

But the cost of activating the core was all his life essence to be absorb which fortunately it happened to merge with Zhou's soul. (They have the same name)

Oh also Zhou learned that ha was living in a world of cultivation which he guessed from the start since it was the typical Chinese cultivation novel opening.

But since he knew that it was a cultivation world he started get nervous but eventually calmed down but still a little nervous.

Also I forgot to mention there are different worlds for the three levels of cultivation which are the following:

Human (Body, Spirit, Bones)

Earth (Elements, Pet beasts, cool powers)

Heaven (Gods, Soul, Overpowered shit)

And every world is a hundred times the world before it so here's the comparison:

Human realm: 100 Earths

Earth realm: 100 Human realms

Heaven realm: 100 Earth realms

So yeah it will be a long story I hope. (I hope I didn't jinx it)

'Okay let's think of a plan' Zhou thought.

Zhou then thought of every common trope like the mysterious and large sect that has a hidden secret.

He also read of a story of the mc buying something from a scammer that turned out to be the most powerful book ever.

Then he thought of adventuring into the forest and end up in a dragons den with all the dragons guarding the den and treasures everywhere and the most important thing is the dragon egg which turns out to be the strongest type of dragon.
