A journey through immortal realms begins with a phantom tale.

Luo Cheng returned to Earth and found that it had undergone tremendous changes.

The cultivation techniques and alien technology he left behind not only gave rise to a group of cultivators on Earth, but also greatly improved the technological level of the entire planet. In Luo Cheng's view, the most obvious change was that the sky was bluer and the air was fresher.

Nowadays, it's very convenient for Luo Cheng to return to Blue Star. After finishing his work, he'll come to Blue Star for a vacation.

Luo Cheng had become fascinated with fishing at some point. He remembered that there was a large lake in his hometown of Qingjiang, but he rarely went back after leaving to study elsewhere—after all, he had no relatives left in his hometown.

Luo Cheng, who suddenly felt like going back to Qingjiang to fish, didn't go directly back to his hometown, but instead bought a high-speed rail ticket in Jiangcheng.

How fast will high-speed rail be a thousand years from now? Luo Cheng remembers that a thousand years ago, it took four hours to travel from Jiangcheng to his hometown county; now it only takes twenty minutes. With the current technology on Earth, high-speed rail could be made even faster, but it's unnecessary—suitability is key!

Upon arriving in Xinxiang County, Luo Cheng wanted to try the bus, but discovered there was a light rail line directly connecting to Qingjiang. Of course, if he didn't want to take the light rail, he could also take a taxi.

A thousand years have passed, and ground-based cars have been phased out. Today, there are two types of vehicles: low-altitude flying cars and high-altitude flying cars. Low-altitude flying cars hover at a height of no more than two meters, while high-altitude flying cars can fly up to tens of thousands of meters in the air.

Luo Cheng wanted to experience a flying car, so he chose the low-altitude flying car. This type of car requires a relatively flat road surface, so every once in a while, drones will trim the weeds to ensure normal operation.

National highways and rural roads built a thousand years ago have been phased out. Cement and asphalt roads are too expensive to maintain.

Nowadays, low-altitude flying vehicles do not have high requirements for the road surface. They can fly two meters above the ground and only need to trim weeds and shrubs to meet their driving needs.

Of course, cities and towns still have paved roads, some are cement roads, some are asphalt roads, and some are smooth glazed surfaces and soft pedestrian surfaces.

After Luo Cheng got into the car, the car started and hovered in the air, two meters off the ground.

"Sir, are you from out of town?" The driver was a very pretty young woman, about twenty-five years old.

"You've guessed wrong," Luo Cheng said. "I'm not from out of town; I'm going back to my hometown."

"Ah!" The female driver was very surprised. No matter how you looked at it, Luo Cheng didn't seem like a local.

The girl was very talkative. In fact, she had been observing Luo Cheng ever since he got on the bus. She had never seen such a handsome man, especially with that indescribable yet captivating aura. Unbeknownst to her, Luo Cheng, as a cultivator and the Lord of the Primordial Realm, naturally possessed an extraordinary presence.

The scenery along the way was beautiful.

Do you know how many people are still living in Qingjiang?

"Probably more than ten thousand people. Many have moved to big cities to live now, leaving behind mostly elderly people."

"Um!"

"Actually, I prefer life here. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is lovely, and the pace of life is not fast."

"Do you have a high income?"

If someone else asked, the girl wouldn't bother answering. But handsome guys always have some privileges: "My income isn't high, only five thousand a month, barely enough to eat."

"What are your plans for the future?"

"I've never thought about it!" the girl thought. She wished she could date him. Of course, she only wanted to date, not marry—on Earth a thousand years later, the institution of marriage was practically defunct. However, the powerful and wealthy still valued marriage, as they could gain more benefits through alliances.

Luo Cheng said, "Cultivating immortality is no longer a legend, and extraterrestrial migration has begun on Earth. Don't you have any thoughts on these two things?"

"Forget it, I have absolutely no interest in cultivating immortality. As for immigrating, I might visit another planet if I have the chance."

Before they knew it, they had arrived at their destination. The girl felt a little reluctant to leave—she had never seen such a handsome man before.

The girl got off the bus with Luo Cheng and said shyly, "Handsome, can I have your contact information?"

"I haven't used my phone in a long time!" In the girl's eyes, Luo Cheng had rejected her.

Seeing the girl's disappointment, Luo Cheng said, "Meeting is fate. I'll give you two choices: one is to cultivate immortality, the other is worldly power."

"Huh?" The girl thought she'd met an idiot. But then she thought, he doesn't seem stupid at all. If he were a little stupid, it wouldn't be so bad.

From a girl's perspective, if this handsome guy is a little silly, she can trick him into becoming her boyfriend.

"Of course I want to cultivate immortality!"

"As you wish!"

"Hey, big brother, you're not really going to give me a cultivation technique, are you? That stuff is useless. Cultivating immortality requires not only talent but also a lot of resources."

"That's true," Luo Cheng said with a smile. "But I can provide all of these things you mentioned."

"Are you a cultivator?" the girl realized. "If you are a cultivator, then it makes sense that you are so handsome."

"I am a cultivator!"

"Then I want to cultivate immortality!"

Luo Cheng said, "Alright, I'll help you build your foundation."

With Luo Cheng's cultivation and supernatural abilities, although he could elevate an ordinary person to the Integration Stage, he would still need a corresponding state of mind to support it.

This is like suddenly giving an ordinary person 100 million. They don't know how to spend the money, how to protect their wealth, or how to increase its value.

Luo Cheng flicked out a drop of ethereal water, first washing the girl's body, then using a spiritual pill to help her establish her foundation, and finally imparting to her a cultivation technique. After doing all this, he left behind the words "Cultivate well" and disappeared.

"Wait!" the girl called out, only to find that Luo Cheng had already disappeared.

The girl looked down and saw that her hands were more delicate and beautiful. She immediately got into the car and looked in the mirror, and was immediately stunned—she had really changed! She carefully felt the changes in her body and could sense the flow of energy within her body. She also had a cultivation technique and realm of understanding added to her mind.

"He really is an immortal! It's a pity I didn't get his contact information... Oh dear, what he said is true, immortals don't use cell phones." In a short time, Luo Cheng left a deep impression on her.

"We must find him!"

Soon, she remembered the official announcement: all cultivators need to register and join a cultivation group to be subject to regulation.

"Ugh! Cultivating immortality is so annoying. I should have chosen the path of power. Who exactly is he? If I join the cultivation group, will I be able to meet him?"

Just like Zhang Hongfei before her, two cultivators found her in less than a day.

"Zhou Yan, according to the test, you have become a cultivator and need to join the cultivation group. Please come back with us to register."

"Alright!" Faced with the powerful cultivation group, Zhou Yan had no choice but to agree.

Then she added, "By the way, I have a video camera in my car. Could you help me find someone?"

One of the cultivators said, "Zhou Yan, my name is Zhang Hongfei, and my destiny to become an immortal was also bestowed upon me by the same person as yours."

"Ah!" Zhou Yan exclaimed, both surprised and delighted. "So, you know him? Will I ever see him again?"

Seeing Zhou Yan's expression, Zhang Hongfei poured cold water on her hopes: "Zhou Yan, I know you have feelings for him, but I advise you to give up. You and he are not from the same world. Even if you become immortals, it's impossible."

"who is he?"

"The original owner!"

Boom! Zhou Yan's mind jolted. She finally knew who Luo Cheng was—hundreds of years ago, he suddenly descended upon Blue Star, opened the gate to the primordial realm, and passed down cultivation techniques, giving the world hope of ascending to heaven.

"Heh!" Zhou Yan's heart sank!

Historical records indicate that the original owner of this body held a position equivalent to the ruler of the celestial realm; he was the master of all immortals. Indeed, as Zhang Hongfei said, even if she became an immortal, an insurmountable chasm still separated the two of them.

Zhang Hongfei said, "We are incredibly fortunate to have received this divine blessing from him."

"yes!"

"The cultivation techniques he personally taught are better than those passed down by major cultivation sects and aristocratic families. Judging from your appearance, he must have personally helped you establish your foundation, right? It shouldn't be long before you reach the Nascent Soul stage."

"Hehe!" Zhou Yan chuckled softly, but couldn't feel happy. She felt like fate was playing a cruel joke, giving her hope only to leave her in despair. Zhou Yan thought, "God, you've let me meet someone like the original owner of this body. Who else can move my heart in the future?" She then composed herself and thought to herself, "In this life, I only have a heart that yearns for the Dao."

Zhang Hongfei said, "Seriously speaking, we can be considered fellow disciples. The man next to me is Liu Hong, who also received guidance from the original owner."

Zhou Yan felt a sense of warmth upon hearing this.

Zhang Hongfei continued, "In addition, we have two senior brothers, Ning Zhe and Xiao Feng, but they are no longer on Blue Star."

"Did Senior Brother Ning Zhe and Senior Brother Xiao Feng also receive guidance from the original owner of this body?"

"Senior Brother Ning Zhe was the original owner's personal disciple and has now become an immortal; Senior Brother Xiao Feng was the original owner's Daoist partner's personal disciple and has reached the Nascent Soul stage."

Now, Zhou Yan wasn't so depressed and fearful anymore. She smiled and said, "Then I'll have to rely on my two senior brothers to take care of me from now on."

"Of course!"

This time, the cultivation group only sent Zhang Hongfei and Liu Hong to pick up Zhou Yan after seeing Luo Cheng's image. Everyone couldn't guess the original owner's thoughts, but there was one thing they agreed on: even if she was the original owner's pawn, no one dared to touch her—who knew what the original owner's intention was in placing this pawn?

Luo Cheng paid no attention to Zhou Yan's situation. He had already found a good spot for fishing, cast his bait, and began to fish.
