REBORN AS BAN SHENG!!!

---

**Dou Qi Continent**

**North-western Region**

Within a vast cave dwelling in the Magic beast Mountain Range, a man dressed in black sat cross-legged.

Under the moonlight shining from outside the cave, his smooth, fair face revealed a cold expression with sharply defined features. His deep, dark eyes shimmered with a captivating light, and his entire being exuded an aura of regal dominance. At this moment, he seemed to be in a state of deep meditation, blending seamlessly with his surroundings.

After a long time.

He slowly opened his eyes, looked around in confusion, and spoke in a voice that seemed unfamiliar to him: "Where is this place..."

As his words fell, he scanned the area with a puzzled expression, as if trying to see the entire valley.

"I remember I was still in bed, staying up late reading a novel. But what's going on now?"

Thinking of this, he hurriedly lowered his head to inspect his body.

To his astonishment, he discovered that the clothes he was wearing were no longer the white shirt and black casual shorts he wore last night, but a long black robe embroidered with strange patterns, resembling ancient Chinese attire.

"What the... What's going on? Damn! Could it be that I died from staying up too late reading novels, and then got transmigrated to ancient times?"

Faced with this situation, he couldn't help but panic.

He was genuinely afraid that he had been transmigrated to some undesirable place, like an ancient palace, a royal court, a beggar's den outside the palace, or worse, some assassin's organization.

"Ahh! So painful, my head hurts!"

He winced , clutching his head with a pained expression on his face. Large beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead.

In the next moment, he felt a dizzying wave in his mind, as a flood of memories surged into his brain.

...

He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally processed these fragments of unknown memories and understood his current situation, he murmured,

"I see. So, I actually died from staying up late reading a book, but ended up really transmigrating "

Yes, he had transmigrated—into the Dou Qi Continent, a world from a popular novel series on Earth! And he had even become a powerhouse at the 'half-Saint' rank!

" Haha, this is amazing! "

"I actually transmigrated into a half-saint. This is like a every novel reader dream, something you'd never expect!"

However...

"I need to Keep it down. I'm a half -saint now, I need to watch my tone."

As if remembering something, Xie Tianxiao pretended to cough a few times, stifling his laughter and putting on a calm demeanour, though he was inwardly thrilled.

That's right, this man in black was no longer a native of the Dou Qi Continent, but a transmigrator from Earth.

In his previous life, his name was Xie Tianxiao, an ordinary person who had just graduated from college and was working in a grueling 9–5 job.

He had just completed an extra task assigned by his boss and planned to stay up late that night reading a novel to relax. Unexpectedly, he died and ended up transmigrating in the world of battle through the heaven.

The body he transmigrated into was formerly named Xie Xiao, who had decided to call himself as "Xiao Sheng" (Saint Xiao). The only difference in their names was a single character, yet this person is half-Saint-level powerhouse on the Dou Qi Continent!

Having read the original novel, Xie Tianxiao was well aware of the significance of the 'half-Saint' rank on this continent!

In an era where Dou Di had vanished, Dou Sheng had withdrawn from the world, and Dou Zun could dominate, a half-Saint was among the strongest—virtually a legendary figure.

As long as he didn't court death by provoking the few ancient families, he could definitely do anything across the continent.

"Unfortunately, the previous owner seemed to be a cultivation fanatic and didn't establish his own power."

"After breaking through to Dou Zun, he either secluded himself for cultivation or roamed various places, destroying small and medium-sized forces, and seizing treasures from the weak."

Xie Tianxiao slowly recalled the various memories of xie xiao that now belonged to him.

The most absurd part was that his predecessor had managed to reach the peak of the Nine- changes Dou Zun realm purely by relying on his own efforts and a series of fortuitous encounters.

He had even acquired Yin-Yang twin Flame, a heavenly flame coveted by countless alchemists across the world!

Decades ago, in an unknown ruins in the Northwestern Region, he had struck a good fortune.

He had obtained half a drop of Dou Sheng's blood essence and some high-level cultivation techniques and pills, which allowed him to break through the peak of Nine-changes Dou Zun and become a beginner half-Saint!

What an incredibly fortunate individual he was, it is like a true protagonist's destiny!

"What a guy, he even dared to rob top-tier forces in Central State!"

Because of his Half-saint level, his Yin-Yang twin Flame had become somewhat redundant.

He then thought of acquiring a higher-ranked heavenly flame. After searching for several years without success, he headed to Central continent.

There were only two forces in Central continent that has rumored to possess heavenly flames: the Pill Tower, which owned the ninth-ranked Three Thousand Burning Flame, and the Burning Flame Valley, which owned the twelfth-ranked Nine Dragons lighting Flame.

Naturally, he chose the easier target. The Pill Tower, being a top-tier force on par with the Soul Hall in Central continent and the holy land for alchemists, was likely to have both Half-saint and Dou Sheng powerhouses.

Since he couldn't afford to offend the Pill Tower, he snuck into Burning Flame Valley, a place only guarded by Dou Zun experts, to steal the Nine Dragons lighting Flame.

But just as he entered the valley, he was terrified by the sudden emergence of Dou Sheng's aura, prompting him to immediately tear through space and flee.

After countless unsuccessful searches, his strength had already reached the peak of initial Half-saint, so he reluctantly gave up his search for different heavenly flames and returned to the Northwestern Region to undergo a life-or-death breakthrough.

As fate would have it, just as he was advancing to intermediate level Half-saint, the soul of xie xiao died and Xie Tianxiao somehow transmigrated in his body.

Moreover, Xie Tianxiao's soul fused with the previous owner's body in a miraculous way, allowing him to break through to an intermidiatelevel Half-saint!

"Hmm, this is good too. Being alone with no ties to major powers makes it easier for me to act without any problems." Xie Tianxiao thought with satisfaction.

"Still, I thought after transmigrating into the Half-saint, I would become a middle-aged man or an old geezer."

"Unexpectedly, merging of my soul caused the appearance of this hundred-plus-year-old body to transform back into what I looked like in my twenties on earth!"

In short.

It's amazing!

"Hmm, though I don't know why this happened, since I've fused with this body and transmigrated to the Dou Qi Continent!"

"I can't stop at Half-saint. After all, I'm going to become a Dou Di!"

Xie Tianxiao's eyes burned with determination as he declared his lofty ambition.

"Becoming a Dou Di? If I can cultivate, why not?"

This was not an exaggeration or a reckless statement. Having read the original novel, Xie Tianxiao knew exactly where the opportunities to become a Dou Sheng or Dou Di lay.

So, Xie Tianxiao is extremely determined in his goal to become a Dou Di!

"So, this is the power of a Half-saint."

Xie Tianxiao slowly clenched his fist, feeling the energy coursing through him.

"What a powerful feeling. Even though I'm not yet familiar with controlling this strength, I can sense that just a slight leak of energy from my body could easily cause the entire mountain outside to collapse!"
