Online Cultivation
episode 1

"Brothers! I'm getting the game you want!” The teenager said cheerfully next to the young man lying on the bed. Within his grasp was a huge helmet that looked like a bicycle helmet, but more like science fiction.

The young man's eyes were closed, seemingly asleep, but the girl continued to speak: "Here, let me help you wear it …"

The girl climbed onto a large bed that could fit the entire family of four, and she raised her head, putting the helmet she had prepared on her head.

"Thank you ..." The young man finally spoke in a hoarse voice after he gently put his head back on.

The girl smiled, gently stroking her hair so as not to disturb him. “Sister, although I will be busy with school this week, next week for sure, I will play with you.”

“Un”

“I'll be back later, so until then, have fun!” After those words, he went to touch the button on the side of the helmet and waited for a while before leaving the young man alone.”

It only took a few seconds after the button was pressed for the body of the young man in the real world to fall into a state similar to sleep. He could no longer smell the distinctive scent of his room or feel the weight of the blanket pressing down on his body. Instead, he could feel himself standing up, something he had not experienced for many years.

The world in front of him was mostly black, like a starless night sky, and he could see white numbers hovering above him, slowly counting down.

“I can see I can feel my limbs I'm no longer blind or paralyzed” The young man was crushed in this darkness, became emotional and fell to his knees.

He was born with an incurable disease that left him blind at the age of 7 and paralyzed at the age of 13. He is now 18 years old, and for the past 5 years he will lie on his bed, unable to do anything other than just lie there; he will be able to do nothing; it was a terrifying and unimaginable life that not even someone dared to imagine.

However, for the young man who had spent more than half his life living in this void of light, he could continue to live without despair because of his caring little sister, he said, they support it every day without complaint.

“So this is the world's first VRMMORPG with 100% immersion, yes.”

When he first heard the game from his little sister, he could hardly believe it.

A game that operates within the mind of the individual, the, allow that person to live in another world without needing to move a single limb ” who would believe that such an amazing and advanced technology could exist? Not to mention that this high-tech technology was announced to be quite affordable even for the most common families to enjoy.

It was originally inconceivable, but experiencing it firsthand, the young man could only believe it.

The countdown continued to decline as the young man tried to get used to the feeling of moving his limbs. Although it was difficult at first, even stumbling after every few steps, he gradually became accustomed to his body again.

«Welcome to Cultivate Online!»

The moment the system notification appeared, the black space quickly brightened, becoming a bright white space. And right in front of the young man, a crack appeared out of thin air, looking like a cracked glass window.

Cracks. Cracks. Crack

Cracks grow bigger and bigger – until big enough to fit an adult.

Suddenly, a huge crack broke all over, revealing the darkness behind him, and a beautiful woman with a graceful and graceful body slowly walked out from within the fractured space, which was the only one left behind, it looked like a goddess that had emerged from another world.

"This is …" The young man could only watch in a daze as the beautiful woman who had just walked out of the cracking room started to stare at him from top to bottom with a cold-looking expression on her other face. Wearing an unfamiliar red and gold robe, her figure was lithe and graceful. His facial features are sharp, symmetrical, and unmatched. Overall, she looked like an otherworldly goddess. However, despite all his perfect features, his gaze was not at all friendly.

He looked at her with his golden eyes filled with a feeling of dominance, and his aura emanated with a tyrannical power that the young man could not understand.

"Fantastic, put your hand on top of this." The beauty spoke to him in a cold voice suitable for a ruler, and the young man watched as he took out a crystal ball from thin air.

"okay." Believing that he was an NPC, the young man followed his instructions and placed his hand on the crystal ball without giving it much thought, and words began to appear inside the crystal ball.

Name: ???

Cultivation: None

Legacy: None

Lineage: None

Physique: Physical Purification of Heaven

Physical Strength: 34

Mental Strength: 275

Soul Power: 1,210

Physical Defense: 10

Mental Defense: 1,121

“?!?!” The expression of beauty suddenly changed upon seeing the information in the crystal ball, her clear eyes filled with disbelief.

"Heaven Refining Physique!" His hand trembled along with the crystal ball in his grasp. “Not to mention that his Soul Power was at the Spirit Warrior rank even though it was just an ordinary human without cultivating ” No, it was nothing when compared to his physique!”

The beauty had never been this big before, even until her body trembled.

"Is something wrong?" The young man asked her after seeing her silence and excited expression.

He lifted his head to look at her, thinking inwardly: ‘I have to tie her up to join my fax before others find her.’

"Who's your name?" he asked with a serious expression.

"You can call me Yuan."

“Take this token and keep it with you until we meet next time.” The beauty took out a jade medal from thin air and suddenly threw it at her. “I don't have much time left here. Make sure you don't lose the token, I'll see you again. ”

"Huh? Wait, I had a few” Before Yuan could ask her any questions, the beautiful woman walked back to the cracked hole, disappearing along the gap in the air.

“What a weird NPC. What should I do now?" He looked around at the empty place.

«Valuation of characters completed. Teleportation will happen in 10 seconds.»

As the timer reached zero, Yuan's gaze suddenly changed, making him slightly dizzy. As he blinked and opened his eyes, he found himself on some kind of stage where many people wearing the same white robes as him were gathered in a large area.

"This is ... Online Cultivation?" His eyes widened when he saw the mountains hovering in the sky above the clouds and what looked like houses built on these floating mountains.

“Welcome, Man! I am Elder Song, who is responsible for ensuring that before you all leave this place and adventure in this vast world, he said, You will have a goal of what you want to do here that has been set in your mind.” A blue-robed old man suddenly greeted everyone with a thunderous voice, causing everyone there to look up at them.

Elder Song smiled and said: “I'll answer your question later, but first, let me explain to you about this world ” world cultivation.”

“First and foremost, this is the Heavenly Continent, and we are currently at Mount #96. Before you are transported here, everyone is supposed to meet with representatives from our world who give you an evaluation. That is the status of your character; it tells you almost everything about yourself.”

“We will start from the base. In this world, humans and monsters cultivate their bodies and minds with Spirit Qi which allows them to obtain supernatural power. We call people like them Cultivators, and the higher your cultivation achieves, the stronger you are in this world. Legacy and Bloodlines are special features that can be obtained later if you are lucky enough. As for Physiques, everyone here should have them. Whether it is useless or not, this will tell you. ”

Elder Song waved his long sleeves and thousands of talismans flew towards the people there.

“Enable with your mind,” Elder Song said.

The crowd followed his instructions, and a loud cry echoed immediately afterward.

“Said that I have an Earth-ranked Physique! What mean?"

Elder Song looked at the young man who had just spoken and said to him, “There is one in ten thousand chance of someone being born with an Earth-ranked Physique. Congratuations. You are what we call ‘gifted’.”

"Older, how many Physical ranks are there?"

"The Rank for Physiques consists of Mortal, Earth, Heaven, and Divine."

"Older, what does it mean to have a Mortal ranked Physique, and what is the difference between the ranks?"

Elder Song remained silent for a moment, before speaking with a grin, “Having a Mortal Physique means you are only ordinary, but having an Earth Physique means you are talented. The difference is obviously your ” is naturally lower than those who have a better physique than you! The more talented you are, the easier it will be for you as a Cultivator! ”

His words caused many faces to sink, especially those with Mortal Physiques.

"Can our physiques be changed?" Someone suddenly asked.

“Physical can be changed, but the process is long and painful, so most people just accept their fate.”

People heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that their Mortal Physiques could be changed.

"Is there anyone here who possesses a Divine level Physique?" Elder Song's eyes flickered with hope, but when no one answered his question, the light in his eyes dimmed.

‘The chances of someone possessing a Divine Physique is one in a hundred million, a genius above an incomparable genius, he said, so it is not surprising that such a miracle will not appear among a thousand people alone.’ He shook his head inward.

"Older, I have a Heaven-ranked Physique." Someone suddenly said out loud, causing everyone there to take a look.

“Hah? The chance of the Heaven Physique's appearance was one in a million. You are a very lucky person, a young genius. What's your name?"

“My name is Shen Ming,” replied the handsome young man.

“Shen Ming? Isn't he the eldest son of Shen Li, CEO of Royal Entertainment?”

Some people there recognized a handsome young man whose face was exactly the same as in real life.

"Have you received anything from the representative who did your evaluation?" Elder Song asked him with interest.

"Yes I do." Shen Ming did not hide that fact and told the truth. "I received this bag from the representative."

“Oho It is a storage bag used to store goods, there may be some things there that can benefit you. However, only cultivators were able to use it. Moreover, if you can meet the person who gave you that gift again, they might even recruit you as a disciple for their Sect.

"Sect? You mean like a guild?”

“Sekte is a place created by one or a group of people with the aim to nurture his students into strong Cultivators ” schools for Cultivators, basically.” Elder Song explained briefly. "That's all? Doesn't anyone else have a Heaven Physique? ”

After a moment of silence, Elder Song shook his head and thought to himself, ‘Sadly once there is only one person out of thousands here who is worth investing in. But even so, I don't know who gave him that storage bag. It would be impolite for me if I stole their target, and I might even offend someone I can't hurt.’

“I have one question for everyone here before I let you go What do you want to achieve in this world? Strength? The status? A fortune? Handsome guy? Pretty lady? Tell me, Man from another world!”

"I want to fly like you!"

"I want power!"

"I want to be famous!"

"I want enough money to make a mountain!"

“I want to go for a walk with beautiful women on both my arms!”

"I want a handsome man to spoil me!"

Elder Song smiled after hearing the will of the masses. “If you want to survive in a world like this, then you must have strength! In this world, the strong rule over the weak! Wealth and fame will naturally come if you are strong! People will flock to you if you are strong! Remember my words, this young ” world looks down on the weak and the lower, only respect the strong! Having power means you have everything!”

"Who do you think has the most power in the world?" Elder Song glanced at the people below with a narrowed gaze, giving their backbones goosebumps.

“Hopeers! We, Cultivators, are the symbol of strength, wealth, fame, and respect ” we are the ruler of this world!”

"Cultivator, is that some kind of class?" People wonder.

"Older, how do I become a Cultivator?"

Elder Song smiled. “Simple only, kok.” He suddenly waved his sleeve, and thousands of glowing balls appeared suddenly and flew towards the people and directly on their foreheads, sinking into their brains.

“I just gave you all the methods to cultivate. Now it is up to you to decide whether you want to cultivate or remain as a human being. ” Elder Song waved his sleeve again, and the four portals appeared not too far away from the group. “Each portal represents a Continent. In this world, we have the Four Great Continents excluding this Heavenly Continent. Once you step inside, it will take you somewhere inside one of these Four Great Continents at random, he said, but even I'm not going to know exactly where you're going to land so it's up to your fate.

«Description: Absorb 1 Qi every second. Can only be activated when sitting in lotus.” position

“Now, scram. I've spent too much of my precious time dealing with you humans. You will learn more about the world as you travel. Even if I use the rest of my longevity, I won't be able to explain to you everything about this world.

With another wave of his sleeves, everyone there started flying towards the portal as if they were being pulled towards them.

“Ahhhh!!”

A cry of shock resounded, and those who entered the portal would soon appear in this vast and unknown world at random.

”

After being thrown into the portal, Yuan felt a little dizzy again, and before he came to his senses, he was already in the middle of the forest.

"Where's this? Is there a map I can use?”

Suddenly, a huge map with four large continents separated by water appeared before him.

"East Continent?" That was the only information he could gather from the map. Everything else went dark.

Yuan tilted his head to look at the clear sky and sighed. “I didn't have time to ask him about my Physique. The old man said that there were only four Physique ranks: Mortal, Earth, Heaven, and Divine, so why doesn't my Physique belong to any of these four ranks? Do I have a special body?”

In his grasp was a talisman with the following words on it:

«Physical Purification Heaven»

«Rank: Heavenly»
