Cultivation: Way of Immortal is the name of the Triple-A triple-plus realistic game released this year.
Sure, I have some connections — the CEO of the game company is my dad, and the Chairman is my uncle.
I guess that's why all of my friends are jealous of me. I've always had access to everything in my lovely dad's company, and my very kind uncle always lets me try everything firsthand.
Every game the company makes is fair: no pay-to-win nonsense — just pure luck, discipline, and most importantly, skill. That's why people love it.
But of course… I love it more than anyone else. Why?
Because I can access everything.
I can even set my own 100% drop rate, uncover every hidden quest, and stack rare items to sell online.
That's how I make money so easily. I'm practically a billionaire on my own now, hehe.
Today, I begged my dad and uncle for something — and, as always, it worked.
They gave me the Quantum Dive Capsule.
A full-dive system with a synchronization rate of 300%.
It's not even on the market yet — more like a beta-testing prototype.
And today, I'll be the one to use it.
To play the greatest game in history.
Game: Cultivation — Way of Immortal.
I'm not inside the gaming capsule yet—because I was still getting the USB data.It's a prototype game system my uncle secretly gave me.He said it was machine learning-based, so it'll upgrade itself over time.It's going to be my great helper in-game, because in Cultivation: Way of Immortal, there's no such thing as a tutorial.That's the fun part of the game.
Every player has to figure things out on their own.Some good people might share…Some will keep it all to themselves.But hey, can't blame them.That's just part of the advantage.
Also, in this game, you've got to be careful with NPCs.
This AAA+++ game isn't just a title—it really is the best game in history.NPCs are emotional AI simulations.They feel like real humans inside the game.
There's violence, there's peace—and both are real.They're not just NPCs…They're basically real people, you know?
I heard stories—Some players killed an NPC's family and left the kid alive.A few months later, that same NPC kid hunted them down and killed them in revenge.He even leveled up and awakened a rare talent because of it.LOL.That's the fun of it.
I can't wait anymore.
So I plug the USB prototype system into my gaming capsule.I climb inside.The capsule automatically seals itself.
My sight goes black.
<00:05>
<00:04>
<00:03>
<00:02>
<00:01>
And then—colors.Swirling, shining, morphing—this was the first step into the game.
Now I'm in Character Creation.
Most people here?They're praying to their Gods for good luck.Because once you're done here, your choices will stick with you forever.
If you want to change it, you can't just do it in-game.You'll need to create a new ID—in real life.
Before the game truly starts, you must randomly roll for
Trait(affects your character)
Personality(affects your in-game emotions—this game goes way beyond realism)
Talent(affects growth potential)
Special Physique(gives unique advantages)
Bloodline(deeply affects your entire progression)
Background(determines the family you'll be born into)
Legacy(unlockable later via hidden quests or meeting a master)
This whole "Legacy" thing is… kinda complicated.
I grin.
"I'm the Only Son of Luck… Let's go!"
Then the system pops up

[Checking…]
Ding!
[Access Granted: Player Ji Ren has administrative rights]
A system window pops up—then suddenly, a digital firework show erupts.The number 18 glows across the screen.And then… a voice I recognize immediately.
It's my uncle.
"Hey! Happy 18th birthday, kiddo!Me and your dad decided to build you a custom system to help you enjoy our game.Hope you have fun!Oh—and don't tell your dad I gave you admin access, okay?Heh. Have fun, kid."
I laugh.
"That's my uncle alright… I need to thank him and Dad properly.I'm seriously gonna have so much fun here.…Well, I guess this isn't exactly pay-to-win, right?Whatever—let's see what we have here..."

"Damn... all of this looks so broken!"
"I already feel like I'm the most skillful person alive."
"Well, seems like there's only one left... Special Physique."
"Rolled!"
[Rolling: Special Physique…]
[Progressing...]
Ding!
Special Physique: Primordial Heavenly Demon Origin (Boudless) [New!]
Description:A prototype-level physique born from the chaos before creation — a remnant of the First Demon that existed before even the heavens themselves.This physique is currently unrecognized by the official system and can only be obtained via admin-level access.
Its cultivation is 1,000 times more difficult than any known special physique, requiring methods beyond conventional cultivation. However, once mastered, it grants power that far surpasses others of the same level, in both raw strength and spiritual resilience.
This physique also offers natural dominance over demonic, chaotic, and spiritual energies.Caution is advised, as it may trigger abnormal reactions from systems, environments, or NPCs, and may attract the attention of forbidden entities beyond this realm.
You are no longer merely a player... you are becoming a force the world isn't ready for.
"Boundless? Is that a new rarity?"
"Well, let's check."
"System, show Special Physique rarity list."

In the dead of night, when the moon hung full and bright over the Upper Realm, a strange phenomenon descended upon the skies above the Xianzun Ancient Immortal Origin Clan.
The sky trembled.The air grew pure, thick with Qi.Moonlight glowed so intensely, it turned night into day.Then—the sun's halo pierced through the sky, shining simultaneously with the full moon.
From the heavens above, countless divine soldiers looked down upon the Xianzun Clan.From another direction, demonic shadows emerged, stretching across the firmament.To the east—a tide of righteous light.To the west—the darkness of chaos.
All of the Upper Realm lifted their eyes in awe.
"Look! The sky!"
"What is this divine disturbance?!"
"Could it be... someone from the Xianzun Clan is breaking through again?!"
But no...This was no mere breakthrough.The so-called Heavenly Disaster arrived—yet it did nothing.Not even the strongest Lightning Tribulation dared strike.
Not here.Not on the grounds of the Xianzun Clan.
[Inside the Xianzun Clan]
"It's the boy!"The midwife shouted with tears in her eyes.
"Congratulations, Mistress! Congratulations, Clan Leader!"
In a grand chamber lit by sacred flames, Xianzun Yuelian gently held her newborn son in her arms—her gaze full of warmth, pride, and love.
Soon after, the great Clan Leader, Xianzun Tianyao, arrived, eyes wide with joy.
"A boy!" he declared proudly.
"I saw the sky tremble… this child is no ordinary one. He must be a prodigy of heaven itself!"
"Let us name him Tian Long. It sounds
"powerful. What do you think, my wife?"
"No," Yuelian whispered gently, never taking her eyes off the baby.
"His name shall be... Wu Shuang."
"Very well… Wu Shuang it is."
[System: Initialization Complete]
[Welcome to: Cultivation — Way of Immortal!]
[Warning: Player is too overpowered. System has selected Maximum Difficulty for balance and enhanced enjoyment.]
I slowly opened my eyes.
Colors filled my vision.
"...Huh?"
"Wait... who's that gorgeous woman?"
"...My mom?! She looks like a model!"
"And that's my dad?! Damn, he's handsome too…"
Well, even though I used my real-world face for character creation, I must've inherited some good genetics in-game, right?
[System:]
"Answer: Yes."
"WOOHOO!!"
"Hehehe… HA!"
And then came the voices.
The voices of clan elders, disciples, and envoys...
"Congratulations to the Clan Leader and Mistress!"
"Another blessed boy is born into our clan!"
"I-I call dibs on being his master!!"
The entire Xianzun Clan erupted in joy and pride.
[System Update:]
[Cultivation System: UNLOCKED]
[Cultivation Level: Mortal]
[Name: Xianzun Wu Shuang]
The divine light slowly faded.The thunder calmed.The world stood still, as if holding its breath.
And within the arms of his mother, the newborn boy clenched his tiny fists...His eyes, still blurry from birth, burned with something far too sharp for an infant.
"I'll be the strongest in this world..."
And then—
"Uwah! Uga... uga!"
The elders around him trembled.
The heavens?They remained silent.
But the
world itself knew—
A monster had just been born.
