Inside Lin Chuan's bedroom, Lin Chuan, who had obtained the cultivation manual, eagerly opened it.
As he read the words within, it was as if the door to a new world was slowly opening before him.
Before this, Lin Chuan knew nothing about matters outside the Great Yan Dynasty, and he had never actively paid attention to them.
Only now did he catch a glimpse.
The place he was currently in was called Qingyun Prefecture, one of the countless prefectures in this world.
In Qingyun Prefecture, the Human Race and the Yao Race coexisted peacefully.
The book explicitly recorded the existence of demons, and the strongest Yao Race force in Qingyun Prefecture was named 'Yunmeng Ancient Forest'.
The strongest Human Race forces were the Three Great Imperial Dynasties; the Great Yan Dynasty, where Lin Chuan resided, was one of them, and the other two Imperial Dynasties were Da Qi and Nanzhao.
“It seems there are quite a few cultivators then.”
“It's just that I was a frog in a well before, and I've never had any contact with cultivators.”
As a Transmigration, Lin Chuan's adaptability was very strong, not to mention he had already dealt with the Yao Race and cultivators in his dreams.
The book also stated that the Yunmeng Ancient Forest had Four Great Vicious Beast Kings—the Golden Winged Tiger King, the Red Ape King, the Three-Headed Snake King, and the Black Flame Sparrow King.
Those who could be crowned with the title of Demon King were extremely powerful.
“How terrifying.”
Lin Chuan sighed with emotion.
Yet, he also felt a sense of anticipation, hoping that one day he could stand on equal footing with the Four Great Demon Kings, or even surpass them.
Having understood the general world view, Lin Chuan then began to study the cultivation Realms described in the book, which consisted of eight levels:
Qi Cultivation Realm, Meridian Opening Realm, Ascension Realm, Mortal Shedding Realm, Divine Soul Realm, Sky Harmony Realm, Saint Realm, and Supreme Realm.
Above the Supreme was a legendary Realm, which the book vaguely mentioned but did not elaborate on.
Lin Chuan carefully read through it, comparing it to himself.
“According to the book, as long as one successfully guides Qi into their Physical Body, they are considered to have touched the threshold of the Qi Cultivation Realm, and then cultivate Qi within their body, allowing it to fuse throughout their entire being.”
“Once the body fully adapts to Spiritual Qi, one can open up twelve Spiritual Veins within the body for cultivation, which is the Meridian Opening Realm.”
After cultivating the Burning Silence Sword Art, Lin Chuan felt no discomfort; instead, he felt like a fish in water.
This proved that he could quickly transcend the Qi Cultivation Realm and step into the Meridian Opening Realm.
“It’s not enough to face the demons.”
Lin Chuan rubbed his forehead.
The Yao Race naturally possessed powerful Physical Bodies; most of the Yao Race were born at a high Realm, and their advantages in Bloodline and Physical Body were incomparable to ordinary Human Race members.
According to the book, the Four Great Vicious Beast Kings of the Yunmeng Ancient Forest were all at the Peak of the Saint Realm.
Only a Supreme could subdue them.
“Can’t be disheartened.”
Lin Chuan cheered himself on.
“With the System, I am the biggest cheat.”
“One day, I can also challenge the Supreme, and even suppress a Supreme.”
Closing the book, Lin Chuan cast aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and prepared to enter the dream Reincarnation again.
He expected that the dream Reincarnation of the wanderer's journey should bring good rewards.
“Lü Ya, wake me up at dawn four days from now, remember that.”
After instructing his maid, Lin Chuan lay on the bed, and as drowsiness set in, he drifted off to sleep.

【"A Chuan, this is the gift I want to give you, do you like it?"】
【The person who fears the Great Liang Emperor even less than your blind close friend is your Princess Consort, Yun Zhiyi.】
【She not only doesn't fear the Great Liang Emperor, but she also wants to help you rebel!】
【"Uncle Lin was loyal and righteous, caring for the common people, unwilling to see them suffer the hardships of war, unwilling to see the Imperial Dynasty in turmoil, and unwilling to draw swords against his former comrades."】
【"When Uncle Lin was alive, I respected him, only learning strategies and not speaking much."】
【"Now that Uncle Lin is gone, there are no more scruples."】
【"Aunt Su's revenge must be taken! The three hundred thousand iron cavalry of Southern Xinjiang should not be a tool for the Great Liang Dynasty to guard its borders! The grievances from your assassination attempts since childhood must also be repaid."】
【"Everything A Chuan wants, he must obtain!"】
【"Even if blood stains the rivers and mountains red, and withered bones pile up into Hell! So what? I don't care what happens to this world; I only want you, A Chuan, to be happy!"】
【Princess Consort Yun Zhiyi looked into your eyes, her gaze so resolute, and she told you her innermost thoughts, word by word.】
【From a shy Xiao Qingmei to a heavenly strategist god.】
【It seemed to happen overnight.】
【You embraced her.】
【You said: “Is this a unique way of confessing for a strategist?”】
【Yun Zhiyi buried her head in your chest and softly said: “If A Chuan says it is, then it is.”】
【That night, you were married.】
【Without anyone's witness, companionship was the longest farewell; you understood each other's feelings, and in the dead of night, you passionately responded to each other's love.】
【The warm days did not last too long.】
【The Da Zhou Dynasty, bordering Southern Xinjiang, attacked; with external threats and internal strife, Southern Xinjiang, without Lin Wuji's presence, was in a precarious situation.】
【The Great Liang court did not send a single soldier to support them.】
【The Great Liang Emperor's objective was clear: to let Southern Xinjiang and Da Zhou fight to the death, and then reap the benefits.】
【Princess Consort Yun Zhiyi took command of the army, revealing her terrifying strategic capabilities to the world for the first time.】
【The treacherous battlefield was swept clean by her.】
【She repelled Da Zhou, and at the same time, dealt a heavy blow to the Great Liang court, shocking the world.】
【The situation reached a stalemate.】
【In the thirty-fifth year of Chang'an, two years had passed since your father, Lin Wuji, passed away.】
【Southern Xinjiang did not weaken because of this; instead, it grew stronger.】
【All of this was due to Yun Zhiyi's plans, truly strategizing within the command tent and winning battles a thousand miles away.】
【In the same year, you heard a piece of news that shocked the Jianghu.】
【Following Old Sword God Li Chengying, another Sword God appeared in the world; he was blind.】
【The Blind Sword God killed with just a draw of his sword.】
【You didn't know the blind man's name, and the blind man didn't know your name.】
【"Could it be him?"】
【You thought of your blind close friend with whom you traveled the Jianghu, that novice swordsman who constantly cursed the dog Emperor and spoke out righteously.】
【The following year, your martial arts cultivation advanced further.】
【A new martial arts ranking for the world was released, and you, as the Prince of Zhennan, were ranked eleventh.】
【With immense power, impressive cultivation, and a Princess Consort who was a heavenly strategist, your life was Perfection, envied by countless people in the world.】
【In the thirty-sixth year of Chang'an, Princess Consort Yun Zhiyi became pregnant with your child.】
【Yun Zhiyi smiled very happily; you hadn't seen such a smile on her face in a long time; she had borne more than you these past years.】
【When she was six months pregnant, you both went to a temple to pray for the unborn child.】
【On the way, you encountered an assassination attempt.】
【The assailants were the third, sixth, and ninth ranked martial artists on the martial arts list.】
【You had two people by your side who were no weaker than the top experts on the list: one was Old Sword God Li Chengying, and the other was Lin Hedan, a personal guard left by your father Lin Wuji.】
【A battle significant enough to shake the world thus began.】
