Could He Really Be a Cultivation Genius?

The year Lü Yuan entered Mingyang City's No. 1 Technical Elementary School, his potential for immortal cultivation was far from promising.

In this world of Golden Core attainment and capitalist cultivation, if he failed to get into junior high after his "six years of compulsory cultivation education," the best future he could hope for was a lifetime of backbreaking labor, paying off loans until he died.

Lü Yuan had thought he was destined to end up working on a factory assembly line.

Until he discovered...

He had actually transmigrated into two worlds at once!

.

That year, the Lü Yuan in the ancient cultivation world was eight years old. Fleeing a famine, he had collapsed beneath a withered tree by the roadside and was about to starve to death.

An immortal passing by gave him a flatbread. Choking back sobs, Lü Yuan said he could never repay such immense kindness. The immortal said:

"Eat slowly."

Having fled the famine at such a tender age and suffered endless abuse along the way, Lü Yuan burst into tears at those words.

The immortal gently stroked his head, tucked a copy of The Treatise on the Five Luminaries Bestowed upon My Son by the Sovereign of the State into his arms, and said softly:

"Form your Dao Embryo. I'll come for you in three hundred years."

It was after this that he made contact with his other self in the world of capitalist cultivation.

Three years of Embryonic Breathing, five years of Qi Refinement, establishing an Immortal Foundation in high school, opening the Purple Palace in college. By the time he finished his master's degree, the bottleneck of Purple Contemplation was nothing to him. After earning his doctorate, even the rank of Great Perfected One of the Five Arts was no more an obstacle than a blank sheet of paper.

Then he entered the corporate world and climbed the ranks. When the Lü Yuans of both worlds attained their spiritual fruition across two spacetime realms at once, everyone looked back and realized that they were both still only in their twenties...
