Volume One: Xuanyuan Continent

Chapter 1: Transmigration Means Becoming a Super Big Shot!

Henry Grant looked at himself in the mirror before him—around twenty years old, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, a radiant gaze, a tall and upright figure, dressed in a dark robe trimmed with golden threads, adorned with ancient patterns.

If this appearance were on Earth, he would definitely be a top-tier superstar.

Unfortunately, there was no going back!

At this moment, Henry Grant’s mind was a complete mess, countless memories clashing in his head. Only after a long while did he finally sort them out.

He was no longer on Earth, but in a place called Xuanyuan Continent.

And his current identity was none other than the number one figure of the righteous path on Xuanyuan Continent, the Supreme Leader of the Taichu Sect—one of the top ten righteous sects—who happened to also be named Henry Grant.

“Transmigration means becoming a super big shot?” Henry Grant was a bit unused to this. Other transmigrators lose their parents, have their whole families wiped out, or at the very least get rejected from marriage and humiliated, then shout, “Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, never look down on a poor youth.”

Only then do they rise step by step, eventually becoming a giant in their own right!

But now, he had just transmigrated and was already the number one leader of the righteous path.

And from the memories, the original owner hadn’t suffered any great tragedies either, being born into the royal family of the Daxia Empire, the orthodox rulers of Xuanyuan Continent.

Though from a distant branch, he had shown extraordinary talent in cultivation from a young age, later leaving the royal family to join the Taichu Sect.

Not long after, he stood out, was taken in by the previous sect master as his last disciple, and then swept all before him. At just twenty-eight, he had already perfected the Thirty-Six Pre-Daos Stages, and after a year of seclusion, upon emerging, he was one of the few Dao Realm giants left on Xuanyuan Continent.

In the history of the Taichu Sect, only the founding ancestor had ever reached the Dao Realm; none of the other sect leaders throughout the ages had entered this rank. Such cultivation speed was truly astonishing.

Originally just an ordinary person, he had now become one of the top figures in the world. How could he not panic? Moreover, only he knew that all this glory was just on the surface—his body was actually a complete mess.

It all started a year ago, when the old sect master, while patrolling the border between Daxia and the Demon Domain, was ambushed and killed by the Nine-Lives Cat Demon King, one of the top ten demon kings of the Demon Domain. Not even his bones were left.

The world was shocked.

Both the old sect master of the Taichu Sect and the Nine-Lives Cat Demon King were supreme experts who had perfected the Thirty-Six Pre-Daos Stages, second only to the few Dao Realm masters.

The so-called Thirty-Six Pre-Daos Stages refer to the nine Postnatal stages, nine Innate stages, nine Mortal Shedding stages, and nine Transcendence stages before the Dao Realm, collectively called the Thirty-Six Pre-Daos Stages.

Anyone who could reach the peak of the Thirty-Six Pre-Daos Stages was, without exception, a major figure—such as the leaders of the top ten righteous sects, the heads of the seven demonic sects, the ten demon kings of the Demon Domain, the ten wolf kings of the North, and so on.

Above that, there were only the few Dao Realm existences in the world.

In this situation, the original owner, as the chief disciple, was urgently pushed to the position of sect leader. However, he and the old sect master were as close as father and son, and in front of everyone, he declared that unless he could capture the Nine-Lives Cat Demon King and use his head to honor the old sect master, he would not succeed to the position.

He then went into seclusion for a year, breaking through from the peak of the Transcendence Stage to the Dao Realm in one go.

After entering the Dao Realm, the first thing he did was charge into the Demon Domain to capture the Nine-Lives Cat Demon King. Who would have thought the Demon Domain was already prepared? Not only were all ten demon kings gathered, but more importantly, the Demon Lord—who rarely appeared—also showed up.

In such a situation, the original owner was almost driven to a dead end. Later, by taking a secret medicine—the Seven-Day Death Pill—he managed to seriously injure the Demon Lord, capture the Nine-Lives Cat Demon King, and fight his way out.

After taking the Seven-Day Death Pill, one’s vitality and combat power would remain at their peak for seven days, but after seven days, death was certain—even a celestial being could not save them.

It was under these circumstances that the original owner died in the main hall of the Taichu Sect.

Afterwards, Henry Grant took over his body, inheriting a huge mess.

It was like an ordinary person suddenly taking over a top Fortune 500 company, but with countless debts—utterly at a loss.

The injuries from the battle with the Demon Lord and the aftereffects of the Seven-Day Death Pill tormented him constantly. If not for the Dao Realm’s incredible vitality, he would probably already be dead.

But even so, who knows how long it will take to recover!
