Lin Ge

In the back mountains of the Lin Clan in Green Sun Town, there lay a secluded bamboo forest. Deep within this forest stood a small cottage, and in the grove behind it, a youth stood perfectly straight, as still as a mountain.

A gentle breeze brushed past, causing the bamboo leaves to rustle. The youth held a sword in one hand, his eyes closed, his expression remarkably calm.

Suddenly, a bamboo leaf slipped from its stalk, dancing gracefully through the air along with the breeze, looking utterly carefree.

Just as the leaf was about to touch the ground, the youth's closed eyes snapped open, a flash of sharp light erupting within them. The iron sword in his hand was drawn in a blur, slicing lightly toward the leaf, which was instantly severed into two halves.

A leaf falls without a trace; to be able to accurately capture the trajectory of a leaf amidst a noisy environment through keen senses alone—this was something few could achieve.

The youth's gaze fell upon the two halves of the leaf, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

His name was Lin Ge, a transmigrator. Unlike his predecessors, he had been born through a full nine-month pregnancy.

In his previous life, he was a shut-in, obsessed with novels and manga, constantly fantasizing about how he would act if he ever obtained world-shaking power.

Later, while on his way to buy a novel, he was struck by a speeding truck due to his own carelessness and died on the spot.

Like many transmigrator predecessors, he had also received his own golden finger: an auxiliary system.

This system had no shop, no martial arts manuals; all it possessed was a panel that allowed him to understand his own status.

Naturally, it was only after seeing his own panel that Lin Ge understood just how terrifying his physique was.

If there were no accidents, he would be the strongest in this world, capable of suppressing an entire era!

Thinking of this, Lin Ge felt incredibly excited.

All the conditions were prepared; he was just waiting to become the master of this world!

As a transmigrator, as a shut-in who had read countless manga and novels, he naturally had his own ambitions: to be like the Heaven Emperor, ruling over the ages alone! To be like the Ye Heaven Emperor, sweeping away all enemies!

Of course, the prerequisite for all this was to understand what kind of world this was and whether he could cultivate to become a great practitioner capable of turning clouds and rain with a flip of his hand.

Time passed in a hurry, and after nine months, Lin Ge successfully arrived in this world.

Lin Ge's arrival did not produce any strange phenomena; in fact, it was fraught with danger, as the mother he had never met died in childbirth because of him. This led to his father's resentment, leaving him to live alone from a very young age.

Lin Ge had experienced over a decade of solitary life in his previous world, so he felt no discomfort at all; in fact, he was quite content, even though he was still a toddler under one year old.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Ge finally learned what world he was in.

He had transmigrated into the world of Martial Universe, and he happened to be in the same clan as the protagonist, Lin Dong.

This was good news, as Lin Ge was very familiar with this world and its future trajectory.

He had read all three trilogies written by Tian Can Tu Dou—Battle Through the Heavens, Martial Universe, The Great Ruler, and the prequel Yuan Zun—and he could recite the major events within them at the drop of a hat.

As a transmigrator, once he confirmed this was a world he knew, his ambition swelled even further.

Whether it was Lin Dong or Xiao Yan, they both eventually stopped at the Ruler realm and became guardians of the Three Thousand Worlds.

But what Lin Ge wanted was to surpass the Ruler realm and become the strongest in the Three Thousand Great Worlds!

Of course, all of this was still very far off; what he needed to consider now was how he should cultivate.

In the world of Tu Dou, almost everyone's combat was based on heaven and earth energy like Dou Qi or Yuan Power; very few people specifically cultivated a certain weapon.

This was true for everyone, whether it was Lin Dong or Xiao Yan.

And Lin Ge, after careful consideration, made his decision.

He chose to be a sword cultivator!

If heaven did not give birth to me, Li Chungang, the path of the sword would be as long as an eternal night.

This was the phrase that appeared in Lin Ge's mind after he chose the path of the sword.

This sentence was arrogant, but it was also domineering, and Lin Ge loved it.

In this world, he, Lin Ge, would change this phrase starting today.

"If heaven did not give birth to me, Lin Ge, the path of the sword would be as long as an eternal night!"

For a chuunibyou patient, there was no such thing as not daring to dream; the only fear was dreaming without any way to realize it.

But now it was different. Having come to this world, Lin Ge felt that with his Peerless Supreme Body, anything was achievable—it was only a matter of whether he wanted to do it or not.

"Next, it is time to take action!"

A look of determination appeared in Lin Ge's eyes. He understood that no powerhouse was created just by thinking; it required arduous cultivation and the will to fight for it.

As a transmigrator, although Lin Ge had never practiced the path of the sword, he could conjure countless methods of sword cultivation in his mind, yet he chose the most primitive approach.

He would start by practicing the most basic sword techniques.

Everything is difficult at the start, and this is especially true for swordsmanship.

To become a great master of the sword, one must first have an extremely solid foundation, so the first thing Lin Ge had to do was lay that foundation.

For a normal sword cultivator, practicing a move a hundred times makes it familiar, a thousand times makes it proficient, ten thousand times makes it masterful, and a hundred thousand times can lead to the realm of perfection. But what about a million times? Ten million times?

What would happen then?

No one knew, and no one could possibly know.

Because no one would be crazy enough to practice for such a long time.

But Lin Ge wanted to do just that. He wanted to do what others could not, and what others dared not even imagine.

At first, he was very confident, feeling that he would be able to persevere.

However, after a few months, he found it somewhat unbearable, but upon seeing his sword mastery proficiency slowly increasing on the panel, he gained a bit more perseverance to carry on.

Time passed in this dull and tedious cultivation for three years; during these three years, he practiced only the basics and nothing else, eventually reaching a brand new height—the legendary supreme realm: Unity of Man and Sword!

Having successfully reached the realm of Unity of Man and Sword, Lin Ge began to cultivate Yuan Power; after all, compared to others, he was a long time behind.

Regarding the cultivation of Yuan Power, Lin Ge did not intend to follow the rules; he wanted to take a shortcut.

The marvelous uses of the Peerless Supreme Body for the current Lin Ge were threefold.

The first was that his cultivation speed far surpassed that of others.

The second was that his comprehension was unparalleled, possessing an innate and extremely strong advantage.

The third was the ability to consume pills, spirit herbs, and other items that could strengthen his body and rapidly boost his strength without any side effects.

Therefore, aside from the necessary six hours of daily cultivation, he spent the rest of his time secretly studying and practicing alchemy, intending to become an alchemist.

In the world of Martial Universe, alchemists did not exist, which provided him with the perfect opportunity.

Relying on his memories, he slowly explored and accumulated bit by bit, spending a year until he finally succeeded in refining several types of pills capable of enhancing physical strength!

Relying on these pills, combined with the powerful talent of the Peerless Supreme Body, Lin Ge's realm rose rapidly; in less than three years, he broke through the Tempering Body stage and successfully reached the Earth Origin Realm.

At this moment, he had already become the strongest among the younger generation of the Lin Clan!

Yet, no one knew of any of this, and even the name Lin Ge was rarely known within the Lin Clan.
