A young man around 10 years old was sitting cross legged on the bed, his upper body naked and his eyes closed. He had sword like eyebrows and his long, black silky hair tied behind his head loosely while a few locks of hair dropped on his shoulder and back, highlighting his charm even more. Although only 10 years old, his facial features were sharp, with a small pointed nose, clear milk like white and smooth baby skin that even made female jealous. His body exuding a noble, majestic and mysterious aura.
He slowly opened his eyes and muttered in his heart "I finally Awakened my first meridian."
The child name was Gu Cheng. He is not a native of this world but was a person from planet called Jade Star. He was an orphan and a college graduate working in a MNC. He lived a good life but somehow transmigrated to this world 10 years ago in his mother womb. It took him a full two and a half minute to accept this fact.
But he was not sad. Instead he was very happy as it's a dream of all the novels readers to transmigrate in an another world and reach the peak of their life but before he could even celebrate his dream of transmigrating to a fantasy world, something happened, which made him completely speechless and depressed.
A huge amount of information poured into his brain.
He found out that he had accidentally transmigrated into a novel world known as "Great Cultivation World".
Gu Cheng had read this novel countless times in his previous life and was extremely familiar with the characters and plot inside.
Among them, Gu Cheng, the only son of First Peak Master of Gu Family, Gu Lintian, was a key antagonist in the early stages.
He had a clear memory of this character.
It was this character who, because of jealousy and envy in the early stages, offended the protagonist in the novel, which led to his death. After being killed, the protagonist also took his treasures, allowing the protagonist to benefit.
This was the starting of the main storyline of the novel "Great Cultivation World."
As for the subsequent plot, it was too cliché. The Gu family constantly chased after the protagonist, sending heads and warmth to the protagonist.
The final dog-blooded plot was that the protagonist developed and grew all the way, collecting a harem along the way, and counterattacked decisively, pushing the Gu family into a crystal-clear ending.
The novel "Great Cultivation" has a total of thirteen main storylines, each with completely different endings.
But the beginning of each storyline is incredibly consistent, which is the protagonist killing Gu Cheng to start the plot!
He tried to find a method to avoid it but didn't found any.
At last, Gu Cheng had no choice and was forced to execute his Plan B.
In the novel, Gu Cheng is a cultivation evildoer. A genius among geniuses, with extremely strong comprehension.
With his cultivation talent and strong background, he didn't necessarily have to be afraid of son of fortune.
But this is not the only thing that he depend upon, to fight against son of fortune. Instead, he have one more thing.
Among the information poured in his brain, their was two more important piece of information.
First, Gu Cheng was born with Golden Pupil.
It is an extremely rare innate ability a person is born with. In the history of Flame God Heaven the number of people born with Golden Pupil are no more than two digits. And as long as they don't die prematurely, every person who had the Golden pupil is destined to become a supreme powerhouse.
Second, Every person is born with Eight Great Meridian. They have to awaken these meridian before they can start cultivating. This is also the first stage of cultivation. Only after awakening eight great meridian, is considered to be true beginning of cultivation.
However, Gu Cheng was born with Nine Great Meridian, one more than normal people. Only one among billions of people is born with it. Due to this, that person cultivation speed and talent will be much more powerful compared to others.
In the original novel, Gu Cheng didn't had these two things. But he didn't care much about it and just took it as a compensation from God for not giving him a system or other Golden Finger.
After sorting out his thoughts, Gu Cheng got up, wore his clothes and came out of his room. He has his own palace in the Gu Family and his room is on second floor.
After coming out of his palace, Gu Cheng welcomed his brand new day.
"Brother Gu." Two crisp voices rang out like silver bells.
Outside the door, there were twins standing and waiting.
They were arranged by his mother to take care of his daily life.
The older sister was named Yan Ruyu, and the younger sister was named Yan Ruo. From his perspective in his previous life, these two could definitely be considered as peerless beauties, captivating and stunning. The so called top beautiful actress or Miss Universe from his previous life didn't even had one-tenth of their beauty. Even in the current fantasy world, they were undoubtedly extraordinary beauty which can cause downfall of nation.
Moreover, both of them had extraordinary cultivation talent. At the age of fifteen, they had already reached the 1st stage Martial Master Realm.
Actual combat power is enough to kill a 3rd stage Martial Master Realm cultivator, beauty and strength are equally important.
In this world cultivation can be divided into three types - Internal and Soul cultivation.
Internal cultivation - refers to cultivation of Qi energy, by forming a dantian. At higher level people can shatter mountain with a palm and cut rivers. This is the most common method of cultivation that most cultivators choose.
The Internal cultivation is divided into 11 stages - Meridian awakening Realm, Qi Nourishing, Martial Master, Martial Grandmaster, Spirit Opening, Heaven Gate Realm, Alpha-Origin Realm, Core Formation, Heavenly Sun Realm, Nascent Soul and Law-Domain Realm.
Each level is further divided into 9 stages except Meridian awakening Realm.
Soul cultivation - The soul is always a mysterious part of a human and the hardest cultivation method. But still many people practice it especially people who want to become an alchemist blacksmith etc as these profession require strong soul power.
There are 2 ways to strengthen the Soul.
1. Train and wait for qi cultivation of the master to rise and the Soul will follow suit and strengthen as well. However, this method is rather slow and there is an upper limit to how strong the Soul will grow. Most of the Independent cultivators and low level forces can only use this method as they don't have a suitable cultivation techniques to cultivate their soul.
2. Practice a Soul Cultivation Art. But such techniques are very rare in this world and only a couple of the powerful factions possess them. Independent cultivators and ordinary forces cannot even come into their contact.
Actually there is also a third way to strengthen the soul. That is to use various rare soul-nourishing items like pills, rare herbs or some heavenly and earth treasures. But these things are also not easy to find. And whenever these things appear in auction or somewhere else. A fierce competition will start between all the forces and won't even hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to buy them. Only people who are lucky enough could encounter them.
The Yan sister are not a member of Gu Family. When Gu Cheng was only 1 year old, his mother had to go out for some important work. On her way back, she encountered something. When she passed by a village, she saw that all the houses in the village were destroyed and was set on fire. All the villagers had been killed and their corpse were scattered around. On the outskirts of the village, she saw two, four or five years old girls surrounded by a group of people. From the clothes they were wearing, she identified that they were demonic cultivators who do all evil things.
To cultivate demonic Martial arts they destroyed a whole village.
When she saw the two girls, she felt very pitiful for them. Thus she killed all the demonic cultivators to avenge the villagers and saved the two sisters. As the parents of those two girls were also killed by demonic cultivators and had nowhere to go, she decided to take them back with her to the Gu Family.
After bringing them back, she did not send them to become a worker in the Gu Family. Instead she kept them with her and treated both of them like her own daughters. Later when the two sisters met Gu Cheng they became very fond of him and asked his mother that they wanted to become his maids. His mother tried to persuade them but they insisted on becoming his maids and spoke that this is the only way they can repay her life saving grace.
In the end, his mother had no choice but to agree with them. Later, both of them showed a strong talent for cultivation which even alarmed the top elders of the Family. His mother along with many other elders again tried to persuade them but they still didn't back down.
Gu Cheng knows that although their status is of maids but no one dare to underestimate them. Firstly, because everyone in the Gu Family knows that Gu Cheng father and mother, both are very fond of them and treat them as their own daughters.
And secondly, because their talent is so high that even in the Gu Family, their are not many people in the younger generation who can match them. As long as they want, they can change their status from maids to a core member of Gu Family anytime.
Gu Cheng also knows that in the original novel, it was described that the two sisters were very loyal to Gu Family and even more loyal to him. After living with Gu Cheng for decades and seeing him growing up in front of their eyes, he didn't know when and how but he became the most important person in their life. It can be said that if his mother had a life saving grace on them, then the reason why they continue to live and practice so hard to cultivate and become strong is because of him.
In the novel, all the protagonist tried to make them join their camp and betray the Gu Family but they never achieved any result.
After Gu Cheng death, both sister became very angry and hated those protagonists and tried to kill them. They both became powerful villains in the later stages of the novel. Many times protagonists fell into their trap and almost died. It was only because of the dog author that everytime the protagonist was able to survive.
However, the ending of those two sisters is also very tragic. After getting defeated, the protagonists destroyed their Dantian and crippled them. All those protagonists wanted to take advantage of their beauty and wanted to forcefully rape them but the two sisters decisively choose to commit suicide by jumping of the clif. Even till the end, their hatred for the protagonist did not diminish and also cursed him before committing suicide.
Although they also have tragic ending, It is enough to show their horror. Even protagonists have to take a step back when seeing them.
Apart from his parents and family members, the two sister's are the only people who loved Gu Cheng and cared for him from the bottom of their hearts. That's why Gu Cheng also treat them sincerely like his own family members. He also vowed that he will try his best to protect his loved ones. If somebody wants to harm them then he kill will everyone who come.
"Good Morning" Gu Cheng smiled and said, "Opening my eyes and seeing beautiful women, truly refreshing."
"Yes," the two of them replied and felt very sweet in their heart.
"Brother Gu, are you going to the cultivation chamber to practice today." Yan Ruyu asked playfully.
Gu Cheng shook his head.
"It's not suitable for cultivation today, but for enjoying the mountains and rivers. Let's go. We are going to Gu Sacred City. " Gu Cheng replied.
"Ok" the two replied.
Gu Cheng walked out of the his Palace, and a magnificent jade carriage, emitting dazzling light, was already waiting at the entrance of the palace.
Pulling this golden carriage was a big eagle. It was complete white in colour with black strip all over its body. It is called Iron Feathered Eagle because its feather are as strong as iron and is known for their speed, stamina and defence.
The Iron Feathered Eagle had the cultivation base of Martial Master stage.
"Let's set off," Gu Cheng leaped up and walked in calmly. Yan Ruyu and Yan Ruo followed behind him and entered the carriage.
Inside the carriage, was filled with Jade decoration and all type of top quality material. The wood used to make the furniture inside the carriage came from an old Mahogany tree which has the effect to calm mind and body.
Sitting in the carriage, Gu Cheng looked at the vast land and mountains, where many disciples were flying on their swords, hurriedly coming and going, giving him a sense of being in a Perfected Being VR cultivation game.
Speaking of which, the Gu Family is not an ordinary Family and could be considered a top force in Flame God Heaven.
The world where Gu Cheng had transmigrated is called Flame God Heaven. The entire Flame God Heaven was boundless and vast, divided by many powerful forces. It is at least 10 times more bigger than his previous world.
Throughout the Flame God Heaven, there are tens of thousands of Kingdom, thousands of Dynasties and hundreds of empire. There are also many powerful sect and clans.
In Flame God Heaven the sect are divided into 9 grade, with 9th grade being the lowest and weakest whereas 1st grade sect being the strongest. The Clans are also divided into three level - Golden, Silver and Bronze level.
But these are only strong in the eyes of common people.
Their are forces more powerful than them and they are the true ruler of Flame God Heaven.
Above 1st grade sect is Super Sect. Above Super Sect is Ancient Sect and above Ancient Sect is Holy Land. Holy Land is also one of the most powerful and strongest force in the Flame God Heaven.
Similarly, Above Golden Clan are Noble Houses which are at the same level as a Super Sect. Above Noble Houses are Ancient Clan on par with Ancient Sect and the topmost are Imperial Clan equivalent to a Holy land.
Flame God Heaven only have one super continent called Flame God Continent. The Flame God Heaven is mainly divided into five regions - East, West, North, South and Central Region.
The Gu Family, resided in Nine Nether Mountain Range, situated in the North-Western part of Northern Region.
Thirty thousand years ago, the ancestor of Gu Family, Gu Dao made a breakthrough and reached Law Domain Realm. After that the Gu Family status and strength began to increase at an incredibly fast speed and soon became one of the Imperial Clan.
But as the saying goes "Good time does not last long."
Six thousand years later after the ancestor of Gu Family breakthrough the Law Domain Realm, for some unknown reason a huge war started. All the top forces including the Gu Family participated in it. Countless Old monsters who have cultivated for tens of thousands of years also appeared and participated in the war.
Blood flowed like rivers and the sky was dyed red. Countless forces,sects, and clans perished. Hundreds of Millions of cultivators died.
The ancestor of Gu Family also participated in the war. But he got severely injured and died not long after. Along with him many powerful members of Gu Family who also participated in the war also died.
With the death of so many powerful members, the Gu Family strength declined a lot along with their status.
As a top force, Gu Family naturally had many powerful enemies. After the Family strength declined, to not be targeted by enemies forces they had no choice but to go into hiding.
Finally, after hundreds of years the war ended and people of Flame God Heaven welcomed peace. But the Gu Family still did not came out and kept hidden, trying to recover the lost vitality of the Family.
It was only after Seven thousands years, another ancestor of Gu Family, Gu Wuwang made a breakthrough and reached Nascent Soul Realm, that Gu Family again appeared in outside world.
But even so, they were still far from their peak time. Although their was an ancestor at Nascent Soul Realm, their status still declined and now could only be regarded as a Noble House.
But it is in the eyes of those top forces. For majority of forces in the Flame Heaven World, the Gu Family is still a behemoth that they cannot afford to offend.
Even the forces of same level as Gu Family do not dare to offend them easily because although their strength has declined, they were once an Imperial Clan and the foundation of an Imperial Clan is still there.
Currently, their are Twelve Noble Houses in Flame God Heaven and among them, the strength of Gu Family can be ranked in top Five.
After Gu Cheng left the Nine Nether Mountain where Gu Family resides, his carriage flew high into the air, soaring high above the clouds. Soon the carriage came outside the Gu City.
The Gu Family controls an area of radius of 500,00 miles around the Nine Nether Mountain Range. Even the closest city is tens of thousand of miles away from Nine Nether Mountain Range. That's why fifteen thousand years ago, Gu Family established a city at the foot of Nine Nether Mountain Range and named it Gu Sacred City.
After tens of thousands of years, it has become one of the biggest and most populated city with a population of around thirty million people.
Most of the shops in the city belongs to Gu Family. Various big hotels, restaurants and inn also belong to the Gu Family. Gu Sacred City is one of the most stable source of income of Gu Family.
Soon, Gu Cheng carriage came outside the city. After it entered the city, it did not cause any commotion because nobody knew his identity. He also deliberately bought a low end carriage so that it does not attract unwanted attention.
It's not that he hate getting attention and want to keep a low profile. Instead, the reason that he did this is because today he only wanted to enjoy. If his entry is too flashy, then he will directly become centre of attention and won't be able to enjoy his day.
After he entered the city, they handed the carriage to a city guard and left on foot.
Although Gu Cheng wanted to keep a low profile but the three of them because of their attractive appearance still attracted a lot of attention. People walking on street will always look at them, secretly point their fingers on them and whisper something to their partners or friends. However, it didn't bother Gu Cheng and his party too much.
While walking around the market, Gu Cheng bought a lot of stuff including some 1st and 2nd grade herbs, some books about Alchemy, Array and weapon refining and many more.
Alchemy, Array Master and Weapon refiner are divided into 10 grades. With 1st Grade being the lowest and 10th Grade being the highest.
Similarly, Pills, Weapon and Array are also divided into 10 Grades. with 1st Grade being the lowest and 10th Grade being the highest.
The reason why he bought these things is to read and learn.
Gu Cheng is not only a genius a cultivation but also has a very high comprehension and learning ability. In Flame God Heaven, only at the age of 10 can a person start practicing because before that, the meridians in a person body are very weak and fragile.
Gu Cheng knew that only by becoming strong could he protect himself. That's why after learning that he could only start practicing at the age of 10, he decided to learn other things for the time being which will be helpful to him in the future. From the past 10 years,he has been practicing Alchemy, Weapon Refining, Arrays and many other things.
Even in the novel, the author described that Gu Cheng was so talented that he only spent half of his time cultivating while the other half he spent on learning other things and even then, the speed at which his cultivation level increased could not be matched by many geniuses of top powerful forces.
Only the protagonist could keep up with his cultivation speed or surpass him with the help of his Golden Finger.
