Fan Xin transmigrates from Earth into the Wukun World, only to find himself in a rather troublesome situation. An ancient Dharma has somehow become bound to him, drawing Fan Xin into a tangled web of karma. He must either cultivate his own uniqueness to keep up, or risk becoming expendable. Fortunately, the cosmos is vast. The Wukun World is only one among countless, each with its own cultivation civilization and Heavenly Dao Will. As Fan Xin travels between them, each becomes a new chessboard, bringing its own opportunities, challenges, gains, and losses. There are countless paths toward the highest realms. Fan Xin intends to see how far his travels can take him. After all, the path of ascension has never belonged to those who were content to walk behind others. What to Expect -World-hopping xianxia across different worlds, civilizations, and Heavenly Dao Wills. -A wide variety of cultivation systems, including some rather uncommon ones. -Cumulative foundation sublimation from principles and insights gained during explorations. -Very light LitRPG elements. Occasional stat screens with limited scope and functionality. -MC's acquired and inherent identities, the enemies tied to them, and the bigger picture gradually unfold. Update Schedule October: 1 chapter daily. November onward: Regular weekly updates, with the schedule announced before the November launch.
