- Chapter 1 - Just as My Wife Left, the System Arrived
“Wu Hao, I’m sorry. I’ve remembered the memories I lost. I still have a deep grudge that remains unresolved, so please forgive me for leaving. I promise you, I’ll settle the past grievances as soon as possible and come back to find you. Until then, promise me you’ll live well with our son.”
These were the parting words his wife had said, looking at him with a hint of reluctance in her eyes before she resolutely turned and left. Wu Hao’s face showed a trace of helplessness, but he didn’t stop her because with his current cultivation, he couldn’t anyway.
Just after his wife left, a synthetic mechanical voice suddenly echoed in Wu Hao’s mind.
[Ding, the Bloodline Investment System has found its host.]
[Ding, the Bloodline Investment System has bound to the host.]
“System, I thought I would never have a cheat, but it turns out I do!”
After confirming multiple times that he had indeed bound to the system, Wu Hao nearly burst into tears. Wu Hao was not a native of this world; yes, he was a transmigrator.
Originally, Wu Hao came from a place called Earth, so he naturally knew about the existence of cheats. As for why he transmigrated here, it was because when he was helping an elderly lady run a red light, he got hit by a runaway truck.
However, at the crucial moment, Wu Hao managed to push the old lady away, sacrificing himself and getting smashed.
When Wu Hao opened his eyes again, he found himself in this mystical world capable of cultivating immortality. After gaining some understanding, he learned the world was called the Xuantian Realm, where powerful beings lived for as long as the heavens themselves, with the ability to create overwhelming strength.
As someone originally from Earth, Wu Hao naturally craved a system and the path to immortality. But just as he prepared to embrace the system, he realized that a long time had passed without any system coming to him.
Thinking about it, Wu Hao suspected his cheat might be something else. He conducted numerous experiments, including dripping blood on an ancient ring he wore on his index finger to see if it triggered anything. The outcome, unfortunately, was that due to a mistake, he lost too much blood and fell unconscious.
After waking, Wu Hao stopped risking his life absurdly; if he had no cheat, then maybe his talent was remarkable.
With that thought, Wu Hao randomly joined a sect to test his talent, only to discover he was merely an average lower-grade spiritual root.
Unsurprisingly, after spending ten years in that sect, Wu Hao narrowly managed to break through from a mortal to the peak of the Qi Refinement stage.
Then, Wu Hao failed the sect assessment and was kicked out. Afterward, he found an incredibly beautiful fairy in the mountains who seemed to have lost her memory. Using sweet talk, Wu Hao successfully tricked her into becoming his wife. Five years after their marriage, she finally bore him a child. Unexpectedly, once Su Qiaoran gave birth, she remembered her lost memories and, muttering something about revenge, turned and left.
However, before leaving, she did give Wu Hao some cultivation resources, asking him to train well, promising she’d come back to find him.
The memory ended there.
Wu Hao quickly understood the use of the system. As the name implies, Wu Hao could invest in his descendants. The more outstanding their spiritual roots were, the more feedback Wu Hao would receive. Lower-grade spiritual roots give tenfold feedback, middle-grade a hundredfold, upper-grade a thousandfold, and Supreme Spirit Stones ten thousandfold. If his descendants possessed the legendary fate of being the Child of Destiny, that feedback could reach a terrifying millionfold.
Reading through the system’s functions, Wu Hao couldn’t help but get excited. In other words, the more descendants he had, the higher his realm would rise. If one of them turned out to be the Child of Destiny, he might only need to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage, and with a millionfold feedback, he could become a god instantly.
“System, what about the newbie gift pack?” Wu Hao suddenly remembered and quickly asked. He knew from Tomato Novels that all traverser systems came with a newbie gift pack. Surely his wouldn’t be an exception.
But Wu Hao’s worry was evidently unnecessary.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for opening the newbie gift pack, receiving 100,000 Supreme Spirit Stones and the Divine-Level Cultivation Technique Heavenly Emperor’s Myriad Dao Sutra.]
[Supreme Spirit Stone: The best cultivation resource before becoming immortal.]
[Heavenly Emperor’s Myriad Dao Sutra: After cultivation, it allows one to stand invincible in the same realm; surpassing levels to fight is child’s play. It can be cultivated to the legendary realm. Note: Only the host can cultivate it.]
Seeing the contents of the newbie gift pack, Wu Hao couldn’t help but gasp in awe. Then he looked at the innocent baby in his arms, blinking wide-eyed up at him. Wu Hao’s face couldn’t hide a look of expectation.
“Ru Long, it seems your father’s path to power relies on you.”
Wu Rulong: “Goo goo ga ga.”
Wu Rulong was the baby boy born to him and his wife, Su Qiaoran. However, he couldn’t begin cultivating just yet. They needed to wait until he turned eight years old, when his meridians would be sufficiently nurtured and able to endure spiritual energy, allowing him to start cultivation.
This meant Wu Hao would have to wait eight more years to embark on his path to invincibility. After all, relying on his inferior spiritual roots, he might never break through to the Foundation Establishment stage if he cultivated till death. Inferior spiritual roots merely qualify one for cultivation, but they offer little advantage over ordinary people; the cultivation speed remains extremely slow. Reaching Foundation Establishment within a lifetime would already be considered quite remarkable.
Although possessing a Divine-Level Cultivation Technique is beneficial, if one’s aptitude remains subpar, it still hampers progress. Enhancements to talent would be necessary later on.
Soon, eight years flew by for Wu Hao, who was filled with anticipation. The baby boy he once held had grown into a cute and charming young child. Although he wasn’t as handsome as Wu Hao, he was still much more attractive than most.
Today marked the day Wu Rulong could begin his cultivation journey, signaling that Wu Hao could now ‘activate his cheat.’
In the courtyard, Wu Hao looked at Wu Rulong, who stood straight and serious before him. With a serious expression, he asked, “Son, today is the day you begin your cultivation. Are you ready?”
“Father, I am ready!” Wu Rulong shouted loudly. Wu Hao nodded in satisfaction before continuing, “In that case, I will personally guide you as you start your cultivation.”
Wu Hao’s previous cultivation technique was merely of the Yellow Grade, which had a very low ceiling. Although countless techniques in the world could lead to immortality, the grade of the technique directly influenced one’s combat power and the amount of spiritual energy one could harness.
No one knew Su Qiaoran’s origins, but she left Wu Hao with enough resources to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage and a Heaven Grade cultivation technique.
Because the Heavenly Emperor’s Myriad Dao Sutra couldn’t be used by Rulong, Wu Hao had no choice but to reluctantly teach him the Heaven Grade technique left by Su Qiaoran. At worst, he could help him improve it later when he became stronger.
As for Wu Hao himself, after obtaining the Heavenly Emperor’s Myriad Dao Sutra, he decisively switched techniques, abandoning his previous cultivation to start anew. Since cultivation at the Qi Refining Stage progresses quickly, and Wu Hao wanted a solid foundation, he went through the process again to reinforce it, even in the Qi Refining Stage.
Thanks to his previous cultivation experience, Wu Hao was able to reach the peak of the Qi Refining Stage again in just eight years — two years faster than when he was in the sect.

P.S. Regarding some settings in this book, feedback won’t yield better items, only those multiplied by a certain factor. If readers desire better items through feedback, additional settings could be added in the future. The author’s decisions will be based on reader feedback, so feel free to comment here. The author promises to take every reader’s opinion seriously and is deeply grateful.
P.S. The author believes it is necessary to explain the matter of abandoning one’s cultivation and retraining in other techniques. Since the protagonist is pursuing ultimate power, abandoning cultivation and starting anew is undoubtedly the best course. Moreover, the current stage isn’t particularly powerful; it’s just the Qi Refining Stage, so for the protagonist, abandoning cultivation and retraining is not a big deal.
