Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation Author: 3000Waters123

Summary:

"It is said that spiritual practice is about cultivating the mind, and cultivating the mind is even more difficult than ascending to heaven. So how can one reach the heavenly principles that everyone has in their heart?"

When the cultivation of immortality meets the cultivation of martial spirit, and when the primordial spirit transforms into a martial spirit, is it more reliable to specialize in the spiritual aspect of the martial spirit cultivation method, or is it more comprehensive to combine yin and yang to achieve both 'life' and 'nature'?

……

Qian Shui: "Six routes attacking simultaneously! A pincer movement unfolds from three sides! A blitzkrieg against the Star Luo Empire!"

Qian Renxue: "I understand the logic, but could you please stop saying these things at times like this?"

The most important thing in being together is harmony, and the same goes for soul swapping.

……

A reclusive otaku from Blue Star transmigrates into Douluo Continent, dreaming of going with the flow, but encounters the fiercely independent Qian Renxue. Feeling sorry for her, he has no choice but to step onto the stage and embark on the path to invincibility.

Arriving in Douluo Continent ten years ahead of the main storyline, one seems to understand everything, but is it really that simple?

Chapter 1 An Ordinary Time Travel

"I don't usually time travel. If I do, it has to be something like Cover the Sky! Investiture of the Gods is out of the question, Creation of the Heavens is okay, but going head-to-head with the Six Sages is just too crazy."

Qian Shui lay on the bed, his fingers moving swiftly and deliberately. As someone who enjoys reading novels, he was naturally interested in time-travel themes, and it was inevitable that he would join some book groups to discuss them.

Just like how some anime groups never discuss the anime itself, and some game groups never discuss the game, novel groups almost never discuss the novel. After a while, who remembers why they joined the group in the first place? There's nothing we can do; perhaps only Jianzheng remains consistent.

"It's difficult. The timing of your time travel is crucial. If it's later in the story, nothing will help. So, it's best to travel early, when you have time to develop. Unless you have a system~"

"If there's a system, who can't use it? That's an old trick."

"You don't want it? I do! It's not that easy. Spending decades learning to speak, learn to write, go to school? Don't be ridiculous!"

"It's so boring, it's all the same old thing, I've seen it all before, and most of them have been cut up."

"You're so great! You're so aloof..."

As the screen flickered, Qian Shui's consciousness grew increasingly blurred; in short, he was about to die.

"But xxx has a cold!"

Fortunately, he still had the chance to clear the hard drive, and ultimately, thinking that the opinions of the all-knowing group members might be useful, he started a group discussion.

Qian Shui thought he would probably die in the hospital, but death seemed to care. When he felt feverish, he had a premonition that he probably couldn't escape, so he decisively cleared all his browsing history and hard drive storage!

Finally, the pain all over her body subsided. After a brief flashback, Qian Shui's last thought was—"Unlike that butler... Anyway, no one's cutting the film..."

People die too quickly, so there's not much time for the philosophy of life that laments the passing of time; at least, that's how it is for Qian Shui.

Although there are no typical patterns in the Tongliao universe storyline, an unexpected event still occurred as expected... However, unexpected events are not in line with the theme of Qianshui's life. His nature as a social being makes him accustomed to seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages to the extreme, except for this time.

……

When consciousness returned, Qian Shui knew that the melodramatic time travel had occurred.

Although his uneventful life of over twenty years had always been incredibly boring, he didn't actually want to transmigrate. At least after understanding what the concept of productivity in the industrial age meant, he no longer wanted to.

'A stranger, an unfamiliar ceiling, and a vague sense of touch—perfect!'

Even though I studied many masterpieces by experts, such as "The Atomic Bomb from Beginner to Expert," because of my hobby, and even though I gave up the idea of ​​being a super-skilled time traveler, I was still very excited after actually transmigrating!

"This is time travel!"

With the basic principle of seeking excitement... well, since we're here, let's make the best of it, Qian Shui changed her mindset to avoid her keyboard warrior nature coming out and getting herself into an argument, which would be too embarrassing.

After concentrating and getting a general idea of ​​my situation, I opened my eyes. Based on my experience of being single for over twenty years, I must have been born at least some time ago, definitely not a newborn.

'My vision is very blurry; it's probably because my optic nerve isn't fully developed yet...' he encouraged himself, analyzing his current state, since his brain nerves weren't fully developed either.

'Sigh~ Soul transmigration, and as a baby no less. The start is alright, at least I won't be caught up in the weird paradox of who's using whose body~ I just don't know what world it is. If it's purely ancient times, then it's tragic...'

Just as Qian Shui's thoughts were wandering, someone walked over.

"Another newcomer?"

"Yes, the nearby branch temple was found in the grove of trees by the roadside."

"Another abandonment?"

"Yes."

……

The appearance of two female voices silenced Qian Shui's excited heart. "A disastrous start!" The people in front of her were definitely not her parents. As her perspective shifted, Qian Shui saw some of her surroundings more clearly and also gained a general understanding of her situation.

The language barrier! Qian Shui, who couldn't understand a thing, was filled with despair. At the very least, she couldn't escape learning a foreign language!

The two people in front of them were a middle-aged woman, who should be of a higher status, and a relatively young person.

Perhaps the baby's emotions were hard to control. Qian Shui seemed about to cry when she thought about the disastrous beginning, but she didn't actually cry.

"Let's call him Qianshui."

The middle-aged woman was silent for a while, perhaps because Qian Shui looked like he was about to cry, and then she gave him a name.

"Yes."

The younger woman responded, and the two left.

'A medieval orphanage!'

Through the simple yet openwork crib, Qianshui saw his many neighbors, as well as what could be identified as a church dome and stained glass.

'Oh no! I haven't studied European history much!'

People have interests. Qian Shui prefers her own country's history, and she has long forgotten world history because of her personal preferences.

His natural inclination to lie down and take a nap whenever he encountered difficulties, coupled with the baby's drowsiness, caused him to drift off to sleep...

……

Qian Shui's assessment of medieval Europe is generally accurate; at least churches and temples existed, and these buildings also had hidden mezzanines and secret passageways, especially in the Middle Ages, and even among nobles, who often used them as tombs.

Just as beneath the grand and solemn Douluo Palace, the Pope's private chambers within the Papal Palace are naturally no different from those of the Middle Ages, equally dark.

The Papal Palace is majestic and radiant, and the statues of angels in front of it are tall and awe-inspiring, inspiring reverence in passersby, even those who are not believers.

And this place is the Spirit Hall!

The truth about this world is now clear: this is the Douluo Continent!

Meanwhile, something else was happening at the Spirit Hall.

The weather was not kind that day, as if it were lamenting and weeping! But this was the most joyous moment for the family, because a descendant who would carry glory and hope was born!

This is also the most painful, humiliating, and darkest moment for a woman!

Entering the Papal Palace, passing through the devout halls, one enters the Papal Chamber. The environment here is pitch black, and the perpetually dark, sunless areas are particularly cold and damp.

Here lies a woman, the saintess of this temple, the possessor of twin martial souls, the direct descendant of the Pope, but...

She had just given birth, and the smell of blood mixed with amniotic fluid was sharp and pungent. Her eyes were lifeless, and she showed no intention of moving to another place. As a mother, she showed even less concern for her newborn child!

Her experience is the shadow under the sun, her tragedy is the tumor of this world, but her offspring are the strongest talents in the history of the angel race.

Darkness is called darkness precisely because people, though born as humans, repeatedly cross the line of morality and ethics, and thus the abyss descends. Perhaps some people have such strong will and character that they can break free of their shackles on their own.

But Bibi Dong couldn't do it.

After all, this is a world where the law of the jungle reigns supreme, where strength is the foundation and the strong prevail! And no one has stipulated that the strong must have virtue!

In a cold and heartless world, with a chilling and tragic past, and the pain of being powerless to change her situation, she finally chose not to climb toward the light, utterly alone!

Because it is precisely this so-called light that has created her current situation! That's all.

Thus, after going in the opposite direction, the 'Rakshasa' descended.

……

"A sheer cliff, towering a thousand feet high, defying snow and frost—a thousand feet of snow! It couldn't be more fitting!"

"The name given by my father is indeed fitting!"

Qian Daoliu was very happy. Perhaps it was because the Angel Martial Soul was too powerful, and the bloodline of the Angel Clan was thin. Both Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji could be said to have had a child late in life.

Qian Daoliu was an upright man throughout his life. Even though the birth of his granddaughter brought him joy, Qian Xunji's current actions are truly despicable.

As the representative of the angels on earth, Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, should rightfully make a judgment! But kinship is a powerful force to protect each other.

"Your actions have betrayed the will of the ancestral gods! The glory of the angel race will be disgraced as a result! If it weren't for you, I would have killed you!"

"Father!"

"Enough! I don't want to hear your explanation! For Xiaoxue's sake!"

A person like Qian Xunji has no bottom line. Faced with his powerful father, he can only bow his head.

"Let's make it up to her a little more..."

"Yes."

Chapter 2 Daily Life in Childhood

It's been two years since Qian Shui arrived in this world, and she hasn't dwelled too much on why she's still named Qian Shui, just like on Earth. More importantly—no cell phone, no computer! No games, no sugary drinks! No washing machine, no refrigerator! Forget about chatting and joking with friends!

Without the support of modern industrial products, even the most hopeless and complacent humans on Earth would scoff, "Oh, this is Qian Shui, isn't it? Just time-traveling and it's already this trash!?"

Life is not worth living! Living is painful! And there's no tissue to wipe my snotty nose!

Two-year-old Qianshui was not only numb, but also bored to death! However, with his mature mind, it was impossible for him to go back to the childhood routine of climbing trees, poking in the dirt, and catching grasshoppers!

So he can only do three things: eat, drink, relieve himself, sleep, run and exercise, and read and recognize words!

Moreover, even traveling the world can't change a person's biological clock! Damn it, I can't sleep at night and wake up early during the day! Except for when I was a newborn and was particularly sleepy.

Time is like water in a sponge; if you don't squeeze it, it's gone!

But once you no longer have to worry about survival, the vast amount of free time will force you to do other things; it's like the saying "too much of a good thing." Even in the information age after industrialization, short videos are always a breeze—information access is just too convenient!

However, Douluo Continent is set in a feudal era! Therefore, studying, which Qian Shui hates the most, has become his only form of entertainment!
