To his immense disappointment, the afterlife turned out to be an empty void devoid of anything. Fortunately, he somehow slipped through the cracks and found himself reincarnated as a child named Shen Jian in a world of cultivation.

Of course, living in such a world and NOT becoming a cultivator was simply unacceptable.

He didn't want to become any amazingly famous, controversial main character or anything though. He really didn't mind being an ordinary cultivator.

Considering that his story began with a transmigration though, maybe he should have known that he wouldn't be so ordinary.

Note: This work uses eastern-themed names and concepts purely because they fit in with the theme of cultivation. It does not dive deep into or try very hard to imitate eastern culture. As such, you may find random bits of western culture mixed in sporadically.

This work will be cross-posted on Webnovel, ScribbleHub and RoyalRoad under the same name.
