Shedding the Mortal Shell

In his past life, he was a mighty Tribulation Transcender who shook the cultivation world. While attempting to ascend, he was betrayed and ambushed by his closest fellow disciples. His Dao body shattered, and his soul unexpectedly traveled back to Earth, possessing the body of an eighteen-year-old high school student named Lin Zhou, who shares his name. The original owner of the body came from an ordinary family, with parents working away from home year-round. Bullied at school, he was timid and insecure. Reborn as Lin Zhou, he carries the memories of countless ancient cultivations. His mind is calm and resolute, his actions decisive and ruthless. On the surface, he appears to be an ordinary youth, but beneath his eyes lies a millennium of vicissitudes. While hiding his cultivation, he seeks to make up for past regrets and protect those around him. At the same time, in a modern city where spiritual energy is scarce, he searches for spiritual materials, repairs his soul, and strives to return to his peak, uncovering the truth behind the betrayal all those years ago. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Shedding the Mortal Shell — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
