The Fiery Spirit Continent.
This is a highly developed martial arts world.
Li Xuanzu is the only Tribulation Transcending stage expert in this plane, and also the strongest person in the entire plane.
Every ten thousand years, each plane experiences a unique tribulation. As the plane's level rises, the interval between tribulations shortens, and their power becomes increasingly terrifying.
There are many forms of heavenly tribulations, but their purpose is the same: to exterminate all living beings in the plane.
Li Xuanzu floated in the sky above the Blazing Spirit Continent, looking at the world-destroying thunder contained in the dark clouds. He knew that if there were no unexpected events, the Blazing Spirit Continent would be directly destroyed in this tribulation.
Li Xuanzu's idea was to break through the Tribulation Transcending stage and become one of those so-called immortals.
The idea was good, but when he was undergoing his tribulation, facing the rolling heavenly lightning, the dimensional tribulation also fell with him. Li Xuanzu could only turn into ashes with all the resentment in his heart.
His divine consciousness was not destroyed, but he could only watch helplessly as the lightning struck the earth. The mountains and rivers of the past were now in ruins. Sects, holy lands, and villages—regardless of their strength or character, all knelt down to pray for blessings.
Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs, and everyone is treated equally, leaving no trace in every plea.
Apart from a few powerful individuals at the Nascent Soul, Integration, and Mahayana stages who managed to retain their divine consciousness, no living being survived on the entire Blazing Spirit Continent.
In the vast starry sky, another "secret realm" has been added for people to test their skills.
Among the many remaining consciousnesses, some could not bear the loss of their loved ones and the destruction of their homes. In despair, they dispersed their consciousness and were reincarnated.
Li Xuanzu was not among them. He was unwilling to accept it, and he died in obscurity. Even though he had reached the pinnacle of this plane, he still did not understand why the heavenly tribulation of this plane had occurred.
He left this plane. As a former cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage, his spiritual strength was extremely high. He was confident that he could defeat even a cultivator in the Mahayana stage.
His divine sense had wandered through the starry sky for decades, and he had found many planets and many planes, but none of them caught his eye.
What he needs to find is a planet or plane that is about to face a celestial calamity.
However, Li Xuanzu was not discouraged. The starry sky had no end, and his lifespan was ten thousand years. It was impossible not to find a suitable place.
Ten years passed, and as the saying goes, heaven rewards those who persevere. Li Xuanzu found a planet that was about to undergo a heavenly tribulation.
Blue Star.
In just one month, the celestial tribulation will descend upon this blue planet.
Li Xuanzu had survived two Heavenly Tribulations on the Blazing Spirit Continent, so he was extremely familiar with the aura of Heavenly Tribulations.
The most urgent task now is to find a dying person and then inhabit their body, which is a kind of possession, but not as cruel.
First, the chosen person is certain to die; it wouldn't devour the soul of a living person like possession, as that would violate the laws of nature. Second, it involves two souls within one body, which effectively prevents the will of the plane or planet from discovering this "outsider."
It can even use its powerful cultivation to help the original owner escape the danger of death, killing two birds with one stone.
As for the target, it definitely can't be an elderly person nearing the end of their lifespan, and secondly, their body can't be too weak. Drug addicts or "reward guys" from this world are not within the scope of consideration.
Then one must be able to cultivate his techniques, otherwise the lifespan of the creatures on this planet is only a hundred years, and they will die of old age before the next heavenly tribulation arrives, and then they will have no way to complain.
Finally, Li Xuanzu narrowed down the candidates to four people.
First, there's a girl named Su Yiyun, twenty years old, a sports student with a great figure and smooth muscle lines. She also has some fighting skills. She was in a car accident a few hours ago and is still being rescued. However, Li Xuanzu can see her life essence and can't save her. But if he enters her body, he can save her.
Then there's Zheng Shiwen, a 30-year-old woman. She's not particularly beautiful, but she's very intelligent and a talent in scientific research. She's quite well-known throughout the planet. She has late-stage lung cancer and will definitely die in three days at the latest. Li Xuanzu's arrival can save her.
Xu Pengfei, male, 28 years old, fitness coach, 1.9 meters tall, burly, muscular and strong, also a trained fighter, suffers from AIDS and some other minor illnesses, and will not live more than a week.
The last one is named Qian Gang, who is eighteen years old. You wouldn't say he's about to die, but his father ran away due to gambling debts, and his mother abandoned him and his sister and committed suicide. He is currently being chased by debt collectors at his home.
Although many people have heard the saying "the son pays for the father's debts" since childhood, it is actually not true. It's just that debt collectors don't care about such things and just go to people's homes with the bills.
They used knives and sticks to force a student to pay back the money, threatening to sell the student's sister to settle the debt if he didn't.
After careful consideration, Li Xuanzu decided to choose Qian Gang for the following reasons:
First, although he is not interested in women, the idea of being inside a woman's body still makes him feel uncomfortable, thus eliminating the first two points.
Secondly, Xu Pengfei is a fitness coach, but he has a chaotic private life and often has affairs with his students. That's how he contracted AIDS. Although he is one of the candidates, unless the other three people chosen by Li Xuanzu all die suddenly, he is the worst choice.
Third, this child is clearly a perfect protagonist template, so it would be a great deal to have him inhabit a body.
Of course, the third point wasn't Li Xuanzu's idea. There are no novels about the Blazing Spirit Continent; it's all just my making things up.
Therefore, based on the two points mentioned above, Li Xuanzu chose Qian Gang.
