Immortal World, Ancient Sanctuary.
Inside the vast forest filled with lush vegetations and mythical beasts, a young man was sneaking around.
The young man wore a worn-out cloak to hide his figures.
"It's time"
The young man murmured.
He took out a talisman and threw it into the air.
The talisman shined and a small crack was formed behind it.
He rushed inside in no time.
What lies behind it was a treasure trove. There are countless weapons, elixirs, alchemy ingredients, metals and ores, talismans, spirit stones and even cultivation techniques. Everything was at least on Immortal-grade.
No sane man would look away from such wealth. However, there was no greed in the young man's eyes. It was as if he was not interested in any of these.
The young man kept walking around and only stopped once he saw a black stone with some ancient symbols engraved on it.
"Found it!"
The young man exclaimed.
"With this World Concealing Stone, I can finally leave this damn Immortal World! Hahaha!"
He laughed loudly.
"Now that my goal has been completed, let's run away before the old man found out"
The young man rushed out as fast as he could. He activated a talisman to completely erase his trace.
"Xiaoxiao, come!"
A white tiger leaped from behind a tree. The moment it saw the young man's face, it's body began to transform and a pair of wings appeared on it's back.
The young man rides the tiger and left
"Brother, have you succeed?"
The white tiger asked.
"Of course! Who do you think I am?"
"Great! With these we can finally ran away!"
Bai Xiaoxiao said in excited voice.
"Our dream will finally come true"
The young main said emotionally. There were tears on the edge of his eyes.
Both of them flew into the horizon happily. Little did they know, two people were spying them from the mountain peak.
"What do you think? Should I catch them?"
Immortal Emperor Bai Hu, said with a frown on his face.
"Forget it. Just let them do as they please. We have been trying for the last ten thousand years but both of them are still the same"
Immortal Emperor Gu Tianyu, replied.
"Isn't it your fault? I told you back then it was too soon for them, and yet you still sent them to participate in such bloody wars. Now, see how they have become. They got sick of fighting and don't even try to improve their cultivation anymore. Moreover, they have been trying to run away from this world"
"You can't blame me on that! You also said that a tiger must have experience hardships from young age and sent Xiaoxiao!"
The two old man continued to argue while looking at the back of the young man and the white tiger.
Although they were already far away, the two old man can catch them instantly.
"Let's stop. Even if we argue, nothing will change. Both of us are too prideful to admit our mistakes, after all"
"Alright"
Immortal Emperor Gu Tianyu nodded.
"I'm quite disappointed though"
Immortal Emperor Bai Hu shook his head.
"Why?"
"I told Elder Wei to secretly give the Immortal Shadow Cloak and the treasure key to them, hoping they would at least stole half if not everything. And yet, that brat Xian'er only stole the World Concealing Stone! Truly a shame!"
Immortal Emperor Bai Hu gritted his teeth.
"That just means Xian'er moral is righteous"
"To hell with being righteous! It won't put food in your table. No matter which world they're going, they still needs money to survive. Not to mention cultivating needs a lot of resources. I will beat his ass if he let my daughter suffer!"
"They should be fine. To my knowledge, they have been planning to run away for the last three thousand years. And I know that both of them have been doing a lot of task and made a lot of money. They even asked for allowances from the elders. If my guess is not wrong, they have more treasures than the treasury you put in a hurry"
Immortal Emperor Gu Tianyu said.
"How did you know?"
Immortal Emperor Bai Hu was surprised.
"Unlike you who had been in seclusion for the past millenials, I've been busy with my job as the lord of this place"
"Are you saying I'm not doing my job as the lord of this place?"
"I'm glad you know your own place"
The two of them began to argue once again.
...
Mortal World, Desolate Continent.
A space crack was formed above the sky for an instant before it disappeared.
The figures of a young man and a white tiger were seen flying in the sky.
"We succeed. We finally run away from that cursed place! Hahaha!"
The young man laughed.
It's been more than ten thousand years since heー
No. Let's rephrase it.
It's been more than ten thousand years since I, Gu Xianyu have been reincarnated from earth into the Immortal World.
Normally, if you were reincarnated or transmigrated into cultivation world, you either started as a trash and slowly building your life to the peak. Or you started as a genius because of system helps.
As for me? I'm neither of these two. I was reincarnated as the thirteen son of Immortal Emperor.
I don't have any golden finger and my talent was average. After cultivating for ten thousand years in the Immortal World, I'm still only a True Immortal.
Compared to the peerless genius on my generation who reached Immortal Emperor in ten thousand years, I'm just your average Joe.
The Immortal World in reality is far different than the one in the novels where usually there are only some emperors. Just the number of Immortal Emperors on Immortal Rank, there were already more than three thousands. Let alone those who hides in the dark and those who survives from the old era.
It's truly a vast world with high level danger. Normally speaking, Immortal Emperor is the peak existence, however their death rate is also quite high with an Immortal Emperor dying every ten thousand years. The death of an Immortal Emperor means the end for everyone related to them.
Not to mention a True Immortal like me. For me, being born in that world is a curse rather than a blessing. It's like every person on earth have nuclear weapons. No matter how low-key your are, if some people were in conflict and shot nuclear, your life will end along with them.
And the conflict in Immortal World is much more frightening.
I knew this first hand because I have experienced the bloody and cruelsome wars since I was 20.
Sure, the wars helped me unlocked my potential because I have to become strong just to survive.
However, I almost lost my mind as the price. I became a True Immortal at the age of 500 and was one of top 100 on the Immortal Seed Rank.
The wars and race to become stronger is burdening. You cannot stop, because once you stop other people will take over you. The fate of being overtaken is worse than death. People with weak dao heart will choose death over than living a life as a loser or fell into their heart's demon.
If your progress is too slow, then the chance of getting killed is high. Because killing someone in Immortal Seed wars means you absorbed the luck and destiny of that person. These two things were the most important things to reach Immortal Emperor. Even if you quitted, there would still be people hunting you down.
I don't care about winning, losing or rank. Destiny and luck can all go to hell. The reason why I left the battlefield was because I'm tired. No matter how hard I tried, the gap of the so called talents is insurmountable even with the help of precious treasures.
I'm not the only Immortal Emperor's descendant. What I have, other top geniuses also have it. And what I don't have, they still have it.
And so, I came into a simple conclusion. Rather than competing in high-level maps, it's better to go into newbie map and have fun.
Cultivation is not about strength but also the mind. In terms of strength, I have reached the peak of True Immortal countless years ago. However, my mind was flawed because of the wars so I cannot breakthrough to Immortal King.
The same goes for Xiaoxiao. That's why we have been planning to run away from that damned place. My mind always restless whenever I'm there.
After years of preparations, I finally succeed.
Leaving the Immortal World is not easy. You need to the World Concealing Stone to hide and escape from the Heavenly Dao rules. There were only 777 in total according to some records.
Mortal can ascend to the Immortal World, however Immortal cannot descend into the mortal world unless you have Heavenly Dao permission or use the World Concealing Stone.
Of course, if the Heavenly Dao collapsed then the rules would collapse as well.
I'm lucky my old man have one and with years of preparations and some bribes, I finally stole it.
Now then, I finally arrived at the mortal world, so let's act like some sort of hidden last boss.
"Xiaoxiao, should we create a hidden sect or be high-profile and recruit talent from all over the continent?"
I turned my head and asked Xiaoxiao.
I saw a beautiful girl with fairy like apprarance and long straight black hair instead of the slightly chubby white tiger.
"Brother Xianyu, of course it's a hidden sect! What's the point of being high-profile in the mortal world? You want the heavenly dao to hit you with heavenly tribulation?"
Bai Xiaoxiao said.
"I'm just testing you"
I patted her head and laughed.
Although we can't become a boss in Immortal World, we can always become the super last boss in the mortal world.
"Now then, let's find some place with mysterious atmosphere first"
