In a daze, Yang Qing slowly opened his eyes. The unfamiliar surroundings made him freeze on the spot.

Had he drunk too much last night and not fully woken up yet?

Fine! Yang Qing closed his eyes again. If he was not awake, he would keep sleeping!

"Since you're awake, why keep pretending to sleep?"

Hearing that voice, Yang Qing jolted awake. Who was speaking?

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, he vigorously rubbed his eyes. This was not his home either!

"Where am I?"

Yang Qing looked utterly confused. He had merely drunk too much last night. How had he woken up with no idea where he was?

"This is Sacred Cliff!"

The voice from earlier sounded again. Yang Qing looked up and saw an old man.

The old man's hair and beard were completely white. His body was thin and withered, his face haggard, and he looked as though his days were numbered.

"What kind of place is Sacred Cliff? How did I get here?"

Yang Qing was baffled. After carefully examining his surroundings, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He was actually on a mountain. He clearly remembered that there were no great mountains near his home.

Moreover, this mountain was not only towering into the clouds, but also peculiar. Its entire body was black, dark as ink.

Vaguely, he sensed an inexplicable aura that sent chills down his spine.

Where on earth had he come to?

"Long ago, a Great Accomplishment Saint Body cut off part of Undying Mountain's body, and thus Sacred Cliff came to exist in this world!"

The old man gazed into the distance, where an endless range of black mountains stretched across the horizon. That was Undying Mountain.

Those glorious years were not so distant. Recalling the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's feat, his weathered face filled with emotion.

At that instant, his previously hunched body suddenly became exceptionally straight, like a spear poised to pierce the heavens.

Yang Qing did not notice any of this. He was completely stunned, his mouth hanging open for a long while.

Sacred Cliff? Undying Mountain? Great Accomplishment Saint Body?

Putting those things together could mean only one thing: he had transmigrated!

Transmigrating into the world of Shrouding the Heavens would have been one thing, but he was currently on the incomparably dangerous Sacred Cliff!

What kind of place was Sacred Cliff? The old man had already explained it clearly. It was a portion of Undying Mountain cut away by a Great Accomplishment Saint Body.

Undying Mountain was a Forbidden Zone of Life. Even a mere portion of it likely contained terrifying power.

With his scrawny arms and legs, one careless move might cost him his life.

Furthermore, Sacred Cliff lay close to Undying Mountain, a Forbidden Zone of Life. If a Supreme Being so much as sneezed, he would be reduced to ashes.

He did not want to die. At a time like this, who could save him?

Thinking of this, he could not help looking at the old man. Perhaps this was his only hope.

"Senior, it's too dangerous here. We should leave quickly!" Yang Qing said.

Forget it! He would treat a dead horse as if it were alive. The old man before him was his only hope of survival!

The old man came back to his senses. Seeing Yang Qing's miserable expression, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Cough, cough! This old man is nearly dead and can barely walk. How could I take you away?"

The old man coughed. His face first turned red, then deathly pale, without a trace of vitality.

Yang Qing hurried over to support the old man. He was truly afraid the old man would fail to catch his breath.

"Senior, you are clearly a peerless expert. Please don't joke around with this junior!"

Yang Qing helped the old man sit down and gently patted his back, his face full of flattery.

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

The old man turned to Yang Qing. A flicker of curiosity passed through his eyes, and the smile on his face grew brighter.

"Senior's face is filled with stories. How could you possibly be an ordinary person?" Yang Qing said.

He was no fool. If the old man were truly ordinary, how could he have appeared in a place like Sacred Cliff?

He had carefully observed the old man just now. At first glance, he looked like a very ordinary old man.

Yet the marks carved by time into his face were as though cut by knives and axes, filled with endless vicissitudes.

"You're quite clever, kid, but unfortunately, I cannot leave Sacred Cliff for now!" The old man shook his head with a smile.

He glanced once more at Undying Mountain. It was not that he deliberately wished to make things difficult for this boy; he truly had a reason he could not leave.

Yang Qing was about to speak when an inexplicable voice suddenly rang out in his mind, leaving him rooted to the spot.

"Randomly selecting Character Template!"

"Selected character: Huo Linfei! Loading Character Template!"

"Ding! Character Template successfully loaded!"

Yang Qing was overjoyed. Sure enough, heaven never left one without a way out. His transmigrator's benefit had arrived.

The next moment, countless pieces of information flooded into his mind, giving him a detailed understanding of the Character Template.

"Loading a Character Template grants me that character's talents?" Yang Qing thought to himself.

According to the information in his mind, every Character Template had been carefully selected. All were based on protagonists from the Myriad Worlds.

Protagonists generally did not have poor talent, so loading any Character Template would allow him to soar immediately.

The Character Template he had randomly loaded was Huo Linfei. Wasn't he the male protagonist of Super Beast Armed?

With a thought, the Character Template appeared in his mind. It was extremely simple, even crude.

Character Template: Huo Linfei Cultivation Talent: Inconceivable cultivation speed! Description: His cultivation speed far surpasses others. He encounters no bottlenecks in cultivation and can advance by leaps and bounds all the way. Character Declaration: Give me six days, and I will stand shoulder to shoulder with the sages of old. Give me seven days, and I will crush everything! Combat Talent: Extraordinary combat instincts! Description: He can improve at incredible speed in battle, adjusting himself through instinct to reach his optimal combat state. Character Declaration: The same move—no one can use it a second time before me!

Yang Qing smiled as he read. It did not matter that the Character Template was simple, as long as it was powerful enough.

Without question, among all protagonist templates, if Huo Linfei claimed second place, absolutely no one would dare claim first.

After all, Huo Linfei was someone who could crush a multiverse in seven days!

He needed nothing else. Inconceivable cultivation speed combined with extraordinary combat instincts was enough to crush any other talent.

Watching Yang Qing grin foolishly the entire time, the old man could not help feeling speechless. Could this child have been frightened stupid?

Forget it! Young people really could not take a joke. He had hoped Yang Qing would inherit his legacy; it would not do if the boy had truly been scared witless!

Yang Qing slowly came back to his senses and immediately went to the old man's side. "Senior, can you teach me cultivation?"

He had thought it through. Although he had loaded a Character Template, he was alone and without connections in this world.

No matter how good his talent was, he still needed someone to teach him. Besides himself, only the old man before him remained on Sacred Cliff.

"Become my disciple!" The old man nodded and said.

He had always acted as he pleased. Although this boy was somewhat strange, he was indeed suited to inherit his legacy.

After all, Yang Qing possessed the same physique as him!
