Chapter 1 - Secretly Cultivating to the Great Emperor Level
Xuantian Holy Land, Xuantian Peak.
A man with white hair and dressed in black robes lay on a rocking chair, basking in the sun and drinking the precious and priceless Clear Spirit Wine.
The man’s features were exquisite, and his physique was slender, making him a rare handsome man.
He murmured to himself, “Having cultivated to the Great Emperor level, there should be no one in this world who is my match. It’s time to truly enjoy life.”
The man’s name was Jun Jiuxiao, a transmigrator.
Due to his exceptional talent, he was taken in as the personal disciple of the Holy Lord of Xuantian Holy Land, Jun Wuqi, since he was a child.
Though called the eldest disciple, Jun Wuqi actually had only one disciple.
Jun Wuqi treated Jun Jiuxiao like his own son and directly established him as the Holy Son of Xuantian Holy Land.
When Jun Jiuxiao transmigrated to this world, he was a ten-year-old orphan. Although his parents were deceased, he had no golden finger, no old grandpa in a ring guiding him, and no system.
Jun Jiuxiao had an invincible master and did not bear the surnames Ye, Xiao, Su, or Lin, so he was destined not to become the protagonist. Instead, his path looked like a villain.
To avoid becoming a stepping stone on the protagonist’s path of leveling up, Jun Jiuxiao cultivated diligently and kept a low profile, reaching the Great Emperor realm in a hundred years, becoming invincible in the Endless Continent.
The Endless Continent hadn’t seen an Emperor-level expert for millions of years, let alone a Great Emperor.
Now, Jun Jiuxiao was the strongest in this world, able to walk unchallenged.
When Jun Jiuxiao first arrived in this world, he was afraid of becoming a stepping stone for the protagonist, so he cultivated day and night. Thinking back now, it brought tears to his eyes.
Jun Jiuxiao’s talent was unparalleled. He succeeded in Qi Condensation in just fifteen minutes and reached Qi Gathering in one day, astonishing his master, Jun Wuqi.
Jun Wuqi, also a rare genius in the Endless Continent, took a day to condense Qi and a month to gather Qi.
Jun Wuqi had never seen a talent like Jun Jiuxiao who condensed Qi in fifteen minutes and gathered Qi in one day. He sighed, saying his disciple Jun Jiuxiao had the potential to become a Great Emperor.
Jun Jiuxiao was frightened by this potential.
After all, in the novels of his previous world, those with the potential to become a Great Emperor were usually stepping stones on the protagonist’s path, dying quickly and miserably.
Jun Jiuxiao hurriedly stopped his master, Jun Wuqi, saying it was just luck and he didn’t deserve the evaluation of having Great Emperor potential.
Jun Wuqi was even more satisfied with Jun Jiuxiao, seeing him as a genius with great talent who was also humble and hardworking.
He immediately established Jun Jiuxiao as the Holy Son of Xuantian Holy Land, opened all sect archives to him, and provided resources to his cave residence like flowing water.
With his extraordinary cultivation talent and tireless efforts, Jun Jiuxiao reached the Blood Tempering stage in a month, the Organ Refining stage in three months, and the Nascent Soul stage in a year.
While other disciples who entered the Holy Land at the same time were still in the Blood Tempering stage, Jun Jiuxiao had already reached the Void Heaven stage.
Jun Jiuxiao, afraid that his master would again say he had the potential to become a Great Emperor, didn’t even tell his master, Jun Wuqi, about his realm, keeping it to himself.
After fifty years of cultivation, he surpassed his master, Jun Wuqi, entering the Quasi-Emperor realm, and after a hundred years, he achieved the Great Emperor realm, becoming invincible in the Endless Continent.
However, to stay low-key, Jun Jiuxiao disguised himself as being in the early stage of the Self-Severing realm, just slightly higher than the talented disciples of the Holy Land.
After all, the cultivation world was full of deception and murder for treasures. It was wise to keep some cards up his sleeve. Jun Jiuxiao decided to keep one, two, three… seven realms as his hidden cards.
Thinking this, he took another sip of Clear Spirit Wine. It tasted really good, and he planned to send a few pots to his master later.
((Realms: Qi Condensation, Qi Gathering, Blood Tempering, Organ Refining, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Void Dao, Self-Severing, Void Heaven, Venerable, Holy King, Immortal King, Quasi-Emperor, Emperor, Great Emperor.
