Chapter 2: Hasty Transmigration

Just when Han Zhiyuan felt that he was about to suffocate, he was pulled out by the collar again and was then thrown on the grass like a dead fish. His mind was in a mess and he heard a series of noises coming from the mountain in distance. The constant rumbling sounded like an earthquake and as soon as he turned his head, he saw the old daoist stretching his neck and looking around.

Han Zhiyuan suddenly felt a pain in his butt, "You fake daoist, have you put oil on your hands?"

"You are wronging this old man" The old daoist's eyes widened "You look so gentle and elegant, why are you so rude?"

Han Zhiyuan rolled his eyes and spat out two mouthfuls of stinky water mixed with sand, which was disgusting. 

"Look at what you are wearing with so much colorful patches and you also have eyes that clearly looks like a thief, it can be seen you are not a serious daoist at first glance". Would a good person throw him into a stinky pond?

"I, this old daoist, won't argue with a young man who never seen the world like you" 

After saying that, the old daoist turned his head and continued to look around.

"Peacock King succeeded in transcending the tribulation?" Han Zhiyuan asked while he shook his wet hair.

"It seems to be a failure," The old daoist did not turn his head back, "The four demons are fighting against the powerhouses of several major forces. The Peacock King is not sure whether he is dead or alive, but his magic tools are scattered there. Many Daoist friends have rushed back to try their luck, do you want to go?" 

The old daoist said and suddenly turned around, his small eyes glowed at the mention of magic tools.

Han Zhiyuan's face darkened, sure enough he really wasn't a serious daoist priest, 

"Aren't you afraid of a few big demons tearing you apart?"

"Not afraid, heaven will never be partial, everything depends on fate." The old daoist said nonsense seriously.

Han Zhiyuan's face was black again. It's so obvious that the old man don't have time to take care of a weak chicken like him. It is estimated that even if he go, he will be turned into ashes in seconds. Han Zhiyuan is very self-aware, so... 

The old daoist has already flown away.

Han Zhiyuan: ...

Falling backward, Han Zhiyuan was lying on his back on the green grass with his eyes wide open, staring at the cloudless sky, in a daze... Why did he come to such a ghost place?

Han Zhiyuan was in daze when suddenly, two giant plane-like birds flew above his head, almost fanning him back into the mud pond with one wing, surprising Han Zhiyuan

Nine Heavens Continent, the people who can fly in the sky, the Peacock King who transcended the tribulation, the strange-shaped giant creatures... plus the memory of the original owner that gradually became clear in his mind.

Han Zhiyuan: ...Very good!

"What the hell is this!" Han Zhiyuan cursed in a low voice. When he thought of how he got here, Han Zhiyuan can't help but have a green face, the same as the green grass under him.

As a 26-year-old single dog, Han Zhiyuan is actually not that bad. On the contrary, he has a stable job and a handsome face, especially the refined temperament that exudes from the inside out. Just like his name, it gives people a gentle and refined feeling, but in fact, he is indeed a single dog.

As for the reason, Han Zhiyuan thinks it may be because he is a man with no car and no house, but according to his friend: You are a gentle scum. There were many girls chasing you, but you never pay attention to anyone and treat everyone same. With a face like yours, anyone would have several relationships, will anyone be like you?

But even so, it won't let him encounter such a strange and chaotic thing. Han Zhiyuan still felt a tingling in his scalp when he recalled the experience of being possessed this morning. He asked for it by himself. This morning, Han Zhiyuan woke up from his sleep and drove to Dongli Mountain on a whim to watch the sunrise. It took him two hours to climb to the top of the mountain, he reached the top just in time.

But just as the sun was rising, a red light suddenly pierced the sky and came straight towards him. Han Zhiyuan was so frightened that he fell down, but when he returned to his senses, nothing happened. A few couples watching the sunrise not far away were watching him with snicker, the dazzling red light seemed to be just an illusion. Although Han Zhiyuan was puzzled, he was soon relieved.

But after returning home, he was shocked to find that he was possessed, and a cold and stern voice came from his body. In this modern society with advanced technology, this is really a shocking and frightening thing.

The first thing Han Zhiyuan thought of was the Guanyin pendant that his dead parents left him, and then the temple 20 km away from his home.

But obviously, he was delusional. When his own hands slapped him uncontrollably, Han Zhiyuan had to force himself to calm down and accept the fact that the possessed body was powerless to resist.

"Hmph! Ant." 

The cold and stern voice made people shudder, and at this time it was even more contemptuous, 

"This king doesn't want to talk nonsense, I know you can hear it clearly!"

Han Zhiyuan listened a little blankly, King? Is it Demon king? Like in those fantasy novels?

"This king was harmed by a traitor and this king's soul was scattered and sealed in different worlds. This king needs someone to unseal this king's souls, so that the remnant soul of this king can be awakened and return to the main soul, and you are the person this king chose"

"What..."

 "Remember, you have no choice, otherwise, you will die!"

 "I..."

"Ant, if you can't do it, this king will kill you!" The cold voice made people have no doubt that he does what he says, but can you let people finish the sentence.

After that, Han Zhiyuan was pulled into the whirlpool by a force, and he didn't have time to ask anything. Now that he calmed down and thought about it, according to the words of the demon king, it can be inferred that there are many things in this world that are outside the realm of human cognition, such as demon kings possessing other bodies, such as the world he is in now.

The soul of the demon king was sealed in multiple worlds, but he couldn't untie it himself. The Demon King must have been restricted in some way, but he was able to send himself here. It can be seen that his life is indeed in his hands.

That is to say, if he don't find the demon king's remnant soul and wake it up, he may be trapped in this world and may never get out, no, to be exact, even his life is not guaranteed.

So, was the Demon King still in the original world or did he come through with him? In other words, he doesn't where to find the soul nor how to unseal it, so what should he do now? Han Zhiyuan is at loss!

At this time, the memory of the original owner of the body had already appeared in his mind. This person looks exactly the same as him, even the name is the same, a rookie-level cultivator who is obsessed with cultivation.

And here, is a world where the strong are respected. The real strong eats the weak. If you are not careful, you will be wiped out with soul and there is no chance of reincarnation.

This place is called the Nine Heavens Continent, where cultivation is the lifelong pursuit and the place where strong were respected.  There are countless sects in the continent but among them Void sect, Ruthless Sect, Sacred Beast sect , Heavenly Dao Sect and Luoshui Sect were most powerful and among them Sacred beast sect belongs to demon cultivators.

The cultivation levels are such as : Samurai, Martial Master, Great Martial Master, Martial General, Martial King, Martial Emperor. The advancement from one stage to another would be a earth shattering process but once advanced what waits is not only strength, wealth and status but even lifespan. However, not everyone can rise step by step and some people are difficult to make any progress in their entire lifetime. Cultivation requires talent and hard work.

And the original owner, he was really a rookie, a samurai... No wonder he couldn't fly. Only the martial general level powerhouse can fly with the sword. As for the Peacock King who transcended the calamity, the demon emperor-level powerhouse is equivalent to the strength of the human race's martial emperor-level powerhouse and they are the top level existence in this continent

Right now, Han Zhiyuan's biggest problems are, Firstly the world is so big, where will he find the remnant soul? Secondly, even if he somehow finds him, how will he unblock the seal? The Demon King really dug a big pit for him.

Han Zhiyuan was thinking about it when suddenly he heard a thud, only to see a flash, like a figure flashing past, Han Zhiyuan hurriedly sat up.

"Little friend, run away, the Peacock King failed to cross the tribulation, several big demons went mad." The old daoist's figure disappeared into the treetops before he finished speaking.

Right at this moment, Han Zhiyuan was startled when he heard several consecutive loud bangs from behind. When he turned around, he saw thick smoke billowing from several mountains in the distance. A golden giant bird was flying with mouth wide open and the red flames from its mouth sprayed straight to this side, and in front of it, several figures were quickly flying in this direction.

"Damn it!" Han Zhiyuan got up and rushed into the jungle like crazy. After all, he was still a samurai and his speed was faster than ordinary people.

Don't know how long he ran and there was no sound behind him. Han Zhiyuan was holding a tree and gasping for breath. But Han Zhiyuan, who was slightly relieved,  but soon froze as if struck by lightning again, feeling like escaping from tiger's den to the wolf's den.

He saw that there were towering trees with a diameter of more than one meter around, which generally covered the sky and the sun, and the forest was covered with darkness, giving a sense of coldness for no reason. 

"Damn!" Han Zhiyuan was shocked, "Did I get lost?" Losing one's way in this kind of place can kill people in minutes and they won't even know how they die.

At this moment, a slight noise suddenly came from behind the big tree four or five meters away. Han Zhiyuan was startled, and a long sword appeared in his hand. This was the original master's natal magic weapon.

"Uhh" a muffled groan.

Han Zhiyuan held his long sword and held his breath as he approached the big tree little by little, but when Han Zhiyuan was extremely nervous, his body suddenly became hot, as if a match stick had caught fire.

Han Zhiyuan was startled and saw a person lying behind the tree. A snow-white brocade robe which is simply blinding and the person looks like a fairy who doesn't belong to mortal world. In particular, the waist-length silver hair that was spread out casually and scattered around and that face is even more breath taking. His closed eyes make his eyelashes look particularly long. His delicate facial features are more beautiful than anything Han Zhiyuan has seen on TV. There is a cold and indifferent aura around him, which makes people dare not approach.

Moreover, it is undoubtedly a male.

"Really sinful!" Han Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh. But what's even worse is that Han Zhiyuan's body is so hot that it's about to be cooked. Could this be a volcano demon?

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the depths of his soul, "It's him."

Han Zhiyuan exclaimed in fear "Fuck!", but he immediately, he reacted and froze.

The Demon King is here? But Han Zhiyuan tried to call in his heart several times, but there was no response.

So, is this weird hotness an automatic detector?

So the question is, how to unlock his seal? How to wake him up? Damn, can't the Demon King give him some hints.

But no matter what, when he met the demon's eyes that were cold enough to freeze a person, Han Zhiyuan knew that he had a long way to go.

"Hi~ Beauty, what's your name? Need help?"

 "Get lost!"

Translator's note: Oof that was hard. I can't wait for a modern world. Cultivation world got so many words that I need to squeeze my brain to translate. Hope you all enjoy reading it. Have a nice day everyone.
