“There’s no particular sense of urgency. I just feel that I really ought to hurry up and focus on cultivation,” Lin Xiao sighed.
“But why did Yigao break through to the Nascent Soul stage so quickly? I spent nearly a year in secluded cultivation before I managed it!”
System:
[Host need not feel discouraged. The host made a conventional breakthrough at the time, whereas Sun Yigao experienced sudden enlightenment, which is why his breakthrough was so fast.]
Sudden enlightenment?
Lin Xiao looked toward Sun Yigao.
“Was it the same kind of sudden enlightenment Fuzi experienced before?” he asked inwardly.
System: [Yes.]
So that was how it was.
He had never expected Yigao to experience sudden enlightenment as well.
Time passed slowly.
As the bolts of tribulation lightning struck down, they were absorbed and weakened by the mountain-protecting formation. They were then transformed into thin currents of electricity that struck directly at the crown of Sun Yigao’s head.
Yet to him, it was no more than a tickle. Not even a single strand of his hair was singed.
Sun Yigao sat there with his robes fluttering in the wind, spiritual energy swirling around him. He seemed almost ethereal, as though he had transcended the mortal world.
At some point, the spiritual energy approaching his body began to transform silently into primordial energy.
After a long while, the surging spiritual energy that had been rushing toward Sun Yigao suddenly came to a halt.
Immediately afterward, with him at the center, waves of primordial energy silently rippled outward in every direction!
The disciples of the Lingxian Sect felt the dense primordial energy nourishing them in return. Although it differed from the spiritual energy they cultivated, it nevertheless stirred the cultivation methods within their bodies, making them eager to act.
As though summoned by their cultivation methods, they all sat down on the spot and began cultivating with their eyes closed.
Lin Xiao was no exception.
Such an excellent cultivation opportunity was something he could not afford to miss now that he had resolved to work hard at cultivation.
If anyone had seen the scene inside the Lingxian Sect at that moment, they would probably have sighed and said, “The people of this sect are truly diligent cultivators!”
Time passed second by second.
Only after the thunderclouds in the sky dispersed and rays of sunlight began spilling through the dark clouds did the people of the Lingxian Sect, who had been immersed in cultivation, slowly awaken.
[Ding—Congratulations! Sect disciple Sun Yigao independently attained enlightenment and generated a branch cultivation method from the Original Essence Heart Sutra: the Original Essence Heart Sutra: Benevolent Heart Chapter. He has also received an infusion of heaven and earth’s spiritual energy and successfully formed his Nascent Soul. The reward has been delivered to the private inventory. Host, please take note and make suitable arrangements.]
[Ding—Congratulations! Sect disciple Sun Yigao has, through his own enlightenment, successfully comprehended his Daoist title, “Lingqing.”]
Lin Xiao had not even opened his eyes when the System’s notifications rang in his mind.
It really was sudden enlightenment!
And he had even received an infusion of heaven and earth’s spiritual energy!
That was how Sun Yigao had been able to leap directly from the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm to the Nascent Soul stage.
If he had cultivated step by step, it would probably have taken him a very long time to form his Nascent Soul after reaching the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
Lin Xiao was delighted. The Lingxian Sect now had another Nascent Soul cultivator.
With that, the sect’s overall strength had risen another level.
That was already more than respectable in the mortal world!
After all, in the mortal world, any sect with even one Nascent Soul cultivator was considered powerful enough to uphold its reputation.
Many sects did not even possess a Nascent Soul cultivator and had only Golden Core cultivators.
Moreover, Sun Yigao had successfully comprehended his Daoist title during this breakthrough!
What had Senior Liao said before?
Once a cultivator gained a Daoist title, it was like having an additional guiding lamp on the path of cultivation. In the future, any bottlenecks they encountered would become easier to understand and overcome!
Lingqing.
Daoist Lingqing, Venerable Lingqing, Heavenly Venerable Lingqing.
Lin Xiao silently repeated the name in his heart. It really was a wonderful Daoist title!
[A Daoist title that sounds good and is useful too. Does the host really not want one for himself?] The System appeared at just the right moment.
“I know, I know. I’ll hurry up and cultivate and comprehend one. Sys, stop urging me.” When it came to cultivation, his System was even more anxious than he was. It was definitely the number one example of that.
Hearing this, the System fell silent.
Lin Xiao was satisfied.
Remembering the reward mentioned in the notification, he hurriedly opened his private inventory to inspect it.
When Fuzi had broken through previously, the System had given him a three-piece Kitchen God set. Fuzi had said that the set was incredibly useful and would automatically improve along with his cultivation.
He wondered what kind of treasure the System would give Yigao this time.
When he opened the inventory, he found another three-piece set.
A brush, a book, and a jade seal.
The brush was made of bamboo. The bamboo forming its shaft was a fresh, verdant green, straight and vigorous.
At first glance, the book seemed completely ordinary. But after Lin Xiao used his appraisal function, he discovered that it was actually a blank book!
The specifics of how to use it were probably known only to Sun Yigao himself.
As for the jade seal, it was as white as fresh snow and pure and translucent. The two characters “Lingqing” were carved into it.
Although Sun Yigao had successfully broken through, he still needed to stabilize his cultivation realm. Thus, he remained seated before the Mind-Calming Mirror in meditation, without making a move.
However, since the nourishment from the primordial energy had ended, many of the disciples who had awakened returned happily to their own duties after hearing that he had successfully broken through.
Only Lin Xiao and the others, who had grown up in the same village and were the same age as Sun Yigao, remained nearby, waiting for him to awaken so they could congratulate him.
They thought that if Sun Yigao opened his eyes after stabilizing his cultivation and found no one around, he would probably feel rather lonely.
They naturally could not let their brother awaken to such a cold and empty scene!
Therefore, when Sun Yigao finished stabilizing his cultivation and opened his eyes, he saw a circle of heads surrounding him.
From eight-year-old Jiang Chengtian to Mo Que, a group of men and women gathered around him and offered their congratulations.
“Congratulations, Yigao!”
“Not bad, brother! You’ve actually reached the Nascent Soul stage!”
“You’re so amazing that you make the rest of us look useless!”
“Brother Yigao, can you tell me about your breakthrough?”
“Yes, yes!”
…
Sun Yigao listened to them chattering away, one after another, and found it especially amusing.
He smiled brightly and said, “Thank you all for welcoming me out of seclusion.”
Though technically, this had been an unexpectedly sudden outdoor retreat.
“There’s also a personal piece of good news I’d like to share with everyone. I’ve comprehended my Daoist title.”
“What? You actually comprehended that supposedly incredibly difficult Daoist title!” Liu Yunan exclaimed in shock.
“What is it? What is it?” Jiang Youfu asked curiously.
The others chimed in one after another. “Come on, Yigao, tell us! What’s your Daoist title?”
“My Daoist title is ‘Lingqing,’” Sun Yigao said.
Lin Ying sighed in admiration. “It sounds so nice! I want a Daoist title that sounds that good too!”
Everyone nodded in unison.
From now on, when he dealt with outsiders, others would address Sun Yigao as Venerable Lingqing. Just imagining it sounded incredibly imposing!
Lin Xiao, however, asked, “By the way, Yigao, did you generate a new cultivation method branch like Fuzi did last time?”
Sun Yigao nodded and drew a seven-colored orb of light from his dantian.
“This is the cultivation-method branch I comprehended—the Benevolent Heart Chapter.”
After the seven-colored orb was drawn out, the radiance surrounding it gradually faded, revealing the cultivation method hidden within.
“Wow—just like Fuzi, you actually comprehended a branch of the cultivation method! You generated an entire cultivation method within your own body!”
“That’s incredible!”
“This is truly wonderful news!”
“We absolutely have to celebrate! Everyone, come to the Spirit Dining Hall. I’ll cook for all of you!” Fuzi declared grandly.
Everyone cheered and surrounded Sun Yigao like stars around the moon as they headed toward the Spirit Dining Hall.

e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
