Silence.

The entire Hall of Instruction plaza suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the enormous incense burner floating in mid-air.

Each face was filled with disbelief.

"Am I... am I seeing things?"

A disciple rubbed his eyes vigorously, his voice trembling.

"The incense burner... is flying?"

"How is that possible! That incense burner weighs at least a thousand pounds!"

"Who did it? Was it Elder Sun who hasn't left yet?"

The disciples erupted into chaos, looking around in all directions, trying to find the "peerless master."

Elder Sun, who had just disappeared, reappeared on the stone platform.

He too was staring at the incense burner in shock, his eyes filled with astonishment.

With his cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Refining, lifting a stone the size of a fist was his limit.

To make a thousand-pound bronze furnace fly, not even a Foundation Establishment stage elder could necessarily do it!

This would require at least the terrifying cultivation of the Golden Elixir stage to possess such divine power!

"May I ask which senior uncle is present? Disciple Sun Cheng apologizes for not welcoming you properly, and begs your pardon!"

Elder Sun respectfully bowed toward the void.

In his mind, it must be some Golden Elixir stage elder of the sect, whimsically showing their divine presence.

However, the surroundings remained silent, with no response from anyone.

The enormous incense burner swayed twice in the air, then with a "thud," it crashed heavily back to the ground.

Dust rose up in a cloud.

As if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.

Elder Sun stood frozen, his expression shifting unpredictably.

Meanwhile, the instigator, Lin Changsheng, had already slipped away quietly amidst the crowd's shock.

He walked away, secretly laughing to himself.

These natives really haven't seen the world.

A simple mind power trick scared them like this.

However, this also made him more cautious.

Even a Qi Refining stage elder could see that the power behind this was extraordinary.

If he were truly exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Keep a low profile, keeping a low profile is the way."

Lin Changsheng reminded himself again.

He decided that he would never show off recklessly again.

If one day he messed up and got caught as a monster, that would not be fun.

***

Returning to his small courtyard, Lin Changsheng continued to study the cultivation system of this world.

He needed more information.

Fortunately, as an Outer Sect disciple, he could go to the first floor of the Scripture Library and read some basic texts for free.

Without hesitation, Lin Changsheng set off for the Scripture Library.

***

The Scripture Library was an ancient nine-story pagoda, guarded by two Inner Sect disciples at the entrance.

Lin Changsheng showed his Identification Wood Plate and smoothly entered the first floor.

The space was vast, with rows of bookshelves.

The shelves were filled with various books and jade slips.

"Geography of the Tianyuan Continent," "Monster Beast Encyclopedia," "Identification of Spirit Herbs," "Sect Discipline"...

Most were miscellaneous studies.

Lin Changsheng didn't mind; he was like a sponge, frantically absorbing all the knowledge about this world.

He found a corner, picked up a book titled "Comprehensive Guide to Cultivation," and began reading with great interest.

This book detailed the various realms of cultivation.

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Elixir, Elemental Infant, Divine Transformation...

Each major realm was divided into early, middle, late, and peak stages.

The book mentioned that Foundation Establishment cultivators had a lifespan of two hundred years, could perform Sword Kinesis Flight, and were considered land immortals.

Golden Elixir cultivators had a lifespan of five hundred years, with an indestructible Golden Elixir and the ability to regenerate from a drop of blood, already transcendent.

Elemental Infant cultivators had a lifespan of a thousand years, could have their Elemental Infant leave the body, and roam thousands of miles, serving as the pillars of major sects.

As for Divine Transformation...

The book only had a few words recorded.

"Almighty Beings of Divine Transformation, their spirit merges with heaven and earth, and their words manifest reality. They are legendary figures. Their signature divine ability is teleportation, capable of taking a person's head from a thousand miles away."

Reading this, Lin Changsheng's hand holding the book paused slightly.

He blinked and read that line again carefully.

"Almighty Being of Divine Transformation... signature divine ability... teleportation?"

His expression became exceptionally vivid.

If he remembered correctly, he could teleport.

And using it was as simple as eating or drinking.

Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "pawread dot com"

According to the book, didn't that mean he was already equivalent to an Almighty Being of Divine Transformation in this world?

The thought startled Lin Changsheng himself.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

He couldn't even perform a single Qi Refining stage spell; how could he be an Almighty Being of Divine Transformation?

His teleportation must be different from a cultivator's teleportation.

Yes, that must be it.

His teleportation was a superpower, a talent.

While a cultivator's teleportation was a divine ability cultivated through immense mana expenditure.

There was a fundamental difference between the two.

Lin Changsheng comforted himself with this thought.

But he couldn't help it; his heart was racing a bit.

He closed the book and picked up another one, "General Principles of Spells."

He wanted to see what other abilities he had that overlapped with top-tier cultivators.

The book recorded that there were many types of flight techniques.

There was Sword Kinesis Flight for Foundation Establishment stage, magical artifact flight for Golden Elixir stage, and physical body flight for Elemental Infant stage.

But without exception, all required the aid of spiritual power or magical artifacts.

Someone like him, who could float and fly without relying on anything, was unheard of in the book.

The book even asserted that traversing the void with the physical body without external aid was a method only legendary immortals possessed.

Lin Changsheng's eye twitched again.

He felt that his understanding of this world had a slight discrepancy.

He seemed to be... much more formidable than he imagined?

The abilities he possessed in this world seemed to correspond to extremely high cultivation realms.

Mind power could be seen as the external release of Divine Sense, mastered only by Almighty Beings of the Elemental Infant stage.

Super healing was comparable to the Golden Elixir stage's regeneration from a drop of blood.

Teleportation was the hallmark of Almighty Beings of Divine Transformation.

Flight was the posture of an immortal.

"Hiss..."

Lin Changsheng took a sharp breath, feeling a bit of a toothache.

He always thought he was just a transmigrator with a little cheat.

Now it seemed, he hadn't just brought a cheat.

He had brought the entire GM control panel with him!

His current mood was very complicated.

He felt like laughing, but also a bit scared.

He wanted to laugh because he possessed such powerful strength, and eternal life seemed within reach.

He was scared because he had foolishly shown off a trick at the Hall of Instruction earlier, almost exposing himself.

If those old monsters found out that a "first level of Qi Refining" new disciple could move a thousand-pound bronze furnace...

He probably wouldn't live to see the next day's sun.

"Calm, I must stay calm."

Lin Changsheng put down the book, took several deep breaths, and forced himself to calm down.

He reaffirmed his belief.

Hide!

He must hide to the extreme!

Until he figured out the depths of this world, he absolutely couldn't reveal a single anomaly.

He was just an ordinary Outer Sect disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

Yes, just like that.

***

Lin Changsheng spent the entire day in the Scripture Library.

It wasn't until nightfall that he left, still wanting more.

That day, he read many books and gained a more comprehensive understanding of this world.

He finally understood what his superpowers meant in this world.

It was a dimensional strike.

An utterly unreasonable crushing force.

As he walked down the mountain path back to his residence, his heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of security.

From today on, he would experience this magnificent Xianxia world as an ordinary person.

To see the majestic landscapes, to witness the myriad aspects of life.

And perhaps, to cultivate for longevity.

This feeling, it seemed... not bad at all?
