Transmigrated to Another World

"Hmm... Where am I?" The young man raised his head and surveyed the unfamiliar surroundings.

Intense pain surged from every part of his body.

"Hiss..." The pull of getting up made him suck in a sharp breath.

Lowering his head, he examined himself and found unfamiliar clothes.

Seeing his bloodstained garments, the young man's eyes were filled with confusion.

Before he could react, a burst of pain struck his head.

The violent agony nearly sent him on his way.

"Pant, pant..." Who knew how long it took before the young man finally recovered.

In a daze, countless memories came flooding forth.

"What a bloody cliché. I actually ran into something like transmigration."

"Could this be Heaven's reward for my eagerness to save someone?" The young man did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Hiss."

He accidentally touched his wound again, making him draw in another sharp breath.

Looking down at his blood-soaked clothes, helplessness flashed through his eyes.

"Your name was Lu Nan too? Fine, that saves me the trouble of changing my name."

Muttering to himself, Lu Nan quickly checked his injuries. After a long while, he finally let out a long breath.

He collapsed back onto the ground and stared up at the azure sky.

Having inherited the young man's memories, he knew this was a world of cultivation.

The strong could live forever; they could pluck stars and seize the moon; they could found sects and become patriarchs.

"What a truly magical world!!"

After sorting through the young man's memories, Lu Nan could not help sighing.

Then he abruptly sat upright. "Since Heaven has allowed me, Lu Nan, to live another life and come to this wondrous world—

Then I, Lu Nan, must fight for that everlasting life and stand among that tiny handful at the very peak."

Enduring the pain throughout his body, he forced himself to move.

He rose to his feet and looked east.

"The first step is to pass the entrance test and join the Azure Lotus Sword Sect!"

He turned back to survey the desolate surroundings, his gaze sweeping over the corpses lying every which way around him.

His eyes flickered, and then he limped eastward.

"When I have learned enough, I will settle this debt!!" The murmur was almost inaudible.

"I've finally arrived!!!!" Tears shimmered in Lu Nan's eyes as he looked at the bustling market before him.

After crawling out from among the dead, Lu Nan had kept heading east.

He had been cautious every step of the way, living in constant fear.

Fortunately, his luck was not bad. Though there had been a few twists and turns along the way, he had still arrived safely at the foot of Azure Lotus Sword Sect.

The market before him had been established in reliance on Azure Lotus Sword Sect, so whenever the Sword Sect recruited disciples—

Azure Lotus Market was always incomparably lively, gathering youths of suitable age from tens of thousands of miles around.

Quite a few had even traveled countless miles just to join Azure Lotus Sword Sect.

Looking up at the mountain peaks soaring into the clouds, information about Azure Lotus Sword Sect surfaced in Lu Nan's mind.

Azure Lotus Sword Sect recruited disciples based solely on talent, without regard for anything else.

That was also why the original owner had traveled countless miles to take the entrance test.

Thinking of the original owner's family circumstances, Lu Nan could not help sighing. "Fine! Being alone is pretty good. When one person is full, the whole family goes hungry no more!!"

"I just hope this body's talent isn't too bad!!!" He withdrew his gaze and glanced over the streams of passersby.

He rubbed his cheeks and swiftly blended into the crowd.

For now, filling his stomach was what mattered most...

"Boss, do you still need any help here?"

Inside a rather impressive restaurant, Lu Nan looked at the Middle-aged Man behind the counter with a face full of ingratiating smiles.

"You're here to take Azure Lotus Sword Sect's entrance test??" Hearing this, the Middle-aged Man raised his head and looked Lu Nan up and down with a smile.

Fortunately, the original owner was not bad-looking; he was merely undernourished.

But Lu Nan was a man of standards. Even when he could not afford food, he still kept himself neat and clean.

"Yes! Yes!!"

Looking at handsome Lu Nan, the Middle-aged Man thought of forming a good connection with him.

The smile on his face deepened a few degrees.

"Young man, you came at the right time. My restaurant needs a handyman. Would you be willing??"

Lu Nan was overjoyed. "Willing! I'm willing!!"

Then he said somewhat embarrassedly, "The Sword Sect test..."

"Haha! The Sword Sect test begins in seven days. I won't pay you wages during that time—

But I'll provide food and lodging. Once the Sword Sect test begins—

Whether you stay or leave is up to you. How about it??" The Middle-aged Man asked with a smile.

"Yes! Yes!!!" Lu Nan hurriedly nodded.

"Come with me!!" As he spoke, the Middle-aged Man stepped out from behind the counter and headed toward the restaurant's back kitchen.

Lu Nan hurriedly followed...

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

Early that morning, the entirety of Azure Lotus Market was already bustling with voices.

Having opened the doors early, Lu Nan watched the crowds continuously stream toward the market square.

Anticipation flashed through his eyes as well, but he did not join them.

Instead, he attended to his own duties. "Little Lu, why haven't you gone yet??" A voice suddenly came from behind him.

Lu Nan quickly turned around. "Shopkeeper Mo, I thought I should let you know."

"Go on! This is a major matter!!" A faint smile appeared on Shopkeeper Mo's face.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Mo. Then I'll head over first!!" Lu Nan said quickly, tossed aside the rag in his hand, and ran toward the market square.

By the time he reached the edge of the square, it was already packed wall to wall with people.

There were young men and women taking the test, and parents whose faces were filled with expectation.

Everyone gathered around the edge of the square, staring fervently at the empty, spacious plaza.

Lu Nan too looked around with anticipation, quietly waiting for the cultivators of Azure Lotus Sword Sect to arrive.

"What sort of entrance will they make?

Sword Sect! Sword Sect! Could they perhaps fly on swords?"

As he murmured, the crowd around him suddenly became exceedingly noisy.

Lu Nan instinctively looked up, and in the next moment, his pupils abruptly shrank.

"They really are flying on swords????"

A group of ethereal, handsome men and beautiful women descended from the sky, each riding a Flying Sword that shimmered with flowing light.

Before long, all of them landed in the center of the square. Then a man and a woman stepped out from the group.

Sweeping his gaze over the surroundings, the man among them said coldly, "Silence! Today is the once-every-three-years Entrance Ceremony of Azure Lotus Sword Sect."

"Azure Lotus Sword Sect accepts disciples based solely on talent, without regard for anything else."

"Anyone present under the age of eighteen may participate in the test."

After sweeping his gaze around once more, he loudly announced, "I hereby declare the entrance test officially begun. All those of suitable age, proceed to the Test Stele in an orderly manner!"

With a wave of his hand, he released a simple, unadorned stone stele, which stood in the center of the grounds.

Then everyone began lining up and stepping forward in an orderly fashion.

The man also returned to the woman's side, while those behind them began their work.

"Zhao Qingnian, Mid-grade Spiritual Root. Qualified!"

"Niu Da, No Spiritual Root. Unqualified!"

"Ye Shuang, High-grade Spiritual Root. Qualified!"

"Su Wan, High-grade Spiritual Root. Qualified!"

"Su Wu, Low-grade Spiritual Root. Qualified!"

"Zhao Er, Inferior Spiritual Root. Unqualified!!"

"Lu Nan, Low-grade Spiritual Root. Qualified!!!"

Upon hearing that he had qualified, Lu Nan finally let out the breath he had been holding.

Though it was only a Low-grade Spiritual Root, at least he had the talent to cultivate.
