In the world of the heavens, there are an elite few in history who transcend the word "genius." They rise through the ranks of cultivation with unparalleled speed, perform feats that defy common sense on a regular basis, and generally educate all who cross their path on just what it means for the difference between two cultivators to be as the difference between heaven and earth.

This…is NOT their story.

Xu Zuhui has never been considered a genius, or particularly talented, though no one would call him a failure either—no small feat in the cutthroat world of VRMMOs, the dominant form of entertainment on a dying Earth. Indeed, he is one of the lucky few to escape the terrible, ruined real world by uploading to a persistent virtual world based on the world of Cultivation.

But though his new body and new life comes with substantial perks, he will soon discover there are substantial risks as well. He’s far from the only strong talent in this new world, and few such people are happy to welcome more into their ranks. In what was supposed to be a virtual world, Xu Zuhui will soon find that the stakes he’s fighting for are very real…and he’ll have to become very strong indeed to survive the events the real hero of this world will inevitably drag him into.

Cultivating As A Side Character

I put a message in the chat in case Qiang Jun wanted to see this too, and asked Chen Huan to go find Gao Rong to invite him too if he wasn't here already, and at Chen Huan's prompting for anyone else, I thought of Du Wuhan too. An hour later, he let me know that Gao Rong had turned out to have already long been in the Competition Hall, and Du Wuhan hadn't been too hard to find, so now he was here too.

I wonder if he and Dong Fangyi would also follow me as far as the Higher Divine Heaven? I might have to actually defeat Fangyi first, though. And find a way to overcome that technique of Wuhan's. Well, I believe I have a starting point for overcoming the technique...
