Chapter 1: The Era of the Empress?

The Desolate Ancient Era.

Spirit Herb Garden, Outer Sect of the Divine Void Grotto-Heaven.

Jiang Nan sat on the grass nearby, feeling somewhat dazed.

Just a moment ago, he had awakened the memories of his past life.

He was a transmigrator.

This body was his own, having grown up in this world since childhood.

It was just that he had only awakened his past-life memories now.

For a moment, with countless pieces of information flooding in, Jiang Nan felt a bit dizzy.

This world was very wrong.

Big Dipper, also known as the Burial Emperor Star, was infinitely vast, filled with cultivators everywhere, and contained countless forbidden zones and death grounds.

The world was divided into five great regions: Eastern Wasteland, Western Desert, Southern Ridge, Northern Plains, and Central Plains.

Among them, the Central Plains was the greatest, so vast and boundless that even cultivators found it difficult to cross.

The place where Jiang Nan was located was in the Southern Ridge, within a cultivation sect inside a remote, small nation.

Even this remote, small nation had hundreds of millions of people; being able to enter this cultivation sect already made one a high-and-mighty cultivator in the eyes of the common folk.

Although he was currently just a menial disciple of the outer sect, it was already enough to make countless people envious.

Jiang Nan had learned these basic common-sense facts during his years of study in the sect.

But now, with his past-life memories, things were different.

This all felt somewhat familiar.

The cultivation realms were also very familiar: Wheel and Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremities, Dragon Transformation...

And then, there was the most prosperous and powerful force in the Central Plains: the Feathered Divine Dynasty.

Even in his remote little corner of the Southern Ridge, Jiang Nan had heard of its divine might.

The Feathered Divine Dynasty, left behind by the Feathered Great Emperor.

A successor of the Ancient Heavenly Court, it claimed to be the Heavenly Court itself, possessing countless heavenly soldiers and divine generals.

This... just a moment ago he was wondering what era this was; it seemed it was not the later era.

Now he understood a little.

So, this was the era of the Empress’s rise?

Was he in the same era as the peerless Empress, the Ruthless Empress, the future supreme powerhouse of the heavens?

Jiang Nan felt extremely strange.

A small part of him looked forward to perhaps seeing what the peerless Empress was like.

Another part was worried about being slapped to death by the Empress; after all, she was known as the Ruthless One.

Only one Great Emperor could exist in an era; if he also had ambitions, wouldn't he have to compete with the Empress for that Great Emperor spot?

The key was that he didn't have much talent either.

Without memories before, he had just been muddling through on his own, and until now, he was only an outer sect menial disciple.

The Feathered Divine Dynasty was still at its peak, which meant the Empress hadn't risen yet.

Or perhaps... could he nurture, *cough*, get to know her?

Hug a powerful thigh.

But this thigh, if hugged poorly, could also lead to death.

Not to mention whether the Empress would let him hug it, her rise was a path of nine deaths and one life, with the nine heavens and ten earths all as her enemies.

Anyone related to her, if their life wasn't tough enough, had better be careful of dying even more miserably.

He was thinking a bit too far ahead; it was just the fusion of two lifetimes of memories, which made him understand many things.

Right now, he was just a menial disciple who hadn't even entered the Wheel and Sea realm.

Which meant he hadn't even opened his Bitter Sea.

[Two lifetimes of memories fused, triggering a fortuitous encounter; brain domain developed by one hundred percent, comprehension infinitely increased.]

"Eh?" Jiang Nan was pleasantly surprised; it really was true.

He had felt his thoughts were exceptionally clear before, and many things were understood in a single thought.

It really was like that.

Now that it was fully fused, his mind was incomparably clear.

Not to mention anything else, just regarding cultivation, many doubts he once had were now suddenly enlightened.

It was too simple.

It felt like higher mathematics had suddenly been simplified to one plus one.

His brain was like a supercomputer, instantly sorting everything out.

The essence of heaven and earth, which he had found hard to perceive before.

Now he could see it as if with the naked eye, and it was at his beck and call.

The four realms of the Wheel and Sea chapter, the entry-level realm is the Bitter Sea.

First, one must sense their own Wheel of Life; Jiang Nan hadn't been able to feel it before, which was why he could never enter the path and had always been a menial disciple in the outer sect.

Now, Jiang Nan clearly sensed it.

The Wheel of Life, guiding the essence, striking the Bitter Sea.

A beginner normally couldn't strike it so easily on their own; they needed guidance from sect elders and the assistance of spirit herb resources like Hundred Herb Liquid.

Jiang Nan didn't need that anymore; his connection with the essence of heaven and earth was growing.

Beginners couldn't do these things, which was why they needed external aids.

Jiang Nan could do it.

The Bitter Sea was boundless, tsunamis connected to the sky, ten thousand heavy waves, the momentum like thunder...

Fortunately, he was in the Spirit Herb Garden, which was usually quiet, and no one came by.

Otherwise, one could see the difference from afar; the entire mountain wilderness was shaking.

Ten thousand paths of divine light swirled around, roaring and brilliantly extraordinary.

The first realm of the Wheel and Sea chapter, the Bitter Sea realm.

Jiang Nan’s comprehension was heaven-defying; without any assistance, he successfully stepped into it.

His initial Bitter Sea was not an ordinary one, like others who started with just a single drop of water and had to slowly reclaim the land to make the Bitter Sea vast.

The Bitter Sea Jiang Nan opened was directly a vast ocean, his whole body filled with incomparably powerful strength; it was an indescribable feeling of refreshment.

[Ding! The Heavens Chat Group invites you to join.]

[Do you wish to join?]

Jiang Nan was overjoyed; with heaven-defying comprehension, his future path was different, and his fortune was also different.

Even the Heavens Chat Group had invited him.
