Heavenly Continent, Northern Region.
Chaoyang City is under the jurisdiction of the Luoxia Sect, one of the ten major sects.
Even late at night, the city lord's mansion was still brightly lit.
In the bedroom.
Gu Changqing suddenly opened her eyes, looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, and muttered to herself in confusion, "Where is this?"
This is a house that doesn't exist in any memory.
The decor is classical and elegant, with a bronze incense burner on a candlestick by the wall, emitting wisps of smoke and a faint fragrance.
Suddenly, Gu Changqing clutched his head as a jumble of memories crashed down upon him, accompanied by intense, dense pain that felt like a tearing sensation.
After a long while, the pain gradually subsided.
Gu Changqing slowly lowered his hands, his eyes returning to calm and deep tranquility.
"So I've already time-traveled?"
"I'm not dead yet."
Gu Changqing chuckled softly.
Just like in a novel, it involves time travel, another world, and a continent.
This is a fantastical and magical world.
Holding the sun and moon in their hands, pointing at the stars.
The immortals, high above, sit and gaze upon the world.
Gu Changqing's current identity is the grandson of an inner sect elder of the Luoxia Sect and the son of an honorary elder. He is currently twelve years old and is accompanying his father, who is guarding the city.
As the memories were gradually processed, Gu Changqing's lips slowly curled up into a smile.
His deep eyes gazed into the distance, as if piercing through brick walls and the night sky, reflecting in the depths of the starry heavens.
Perhaps due to the excessive mental exertion of processing the memories, a wave of exhaustion washed over him, and he closed his eyes again, soon falling into a deep sleep.
Only the faint outline at the corner of his mouth under the dim light still hinted at the restlessness in his heart.
The next morning.
As the first rays of sunlight appeared, the earth, silent all night, came back to life.
After a few gentle knocks, Gu Changqing slowly opened her eyes.
I stretched out a long yawn.
Just as he was about to get up and open the door as usual, his expression suddenly changed, and he stared at the door for a moment, stunned.
"I almost forgot that I've already time-traveled."
He muttered something to himself before saying to the person outside the door, "Come in."
Based on my memory, the people knocking on the door should be the two maids, Xiao Cui and Xiao Hua, who came to help me change and wash up.
As soon as the words were spoken, the door was slowly pushed open by two maids, one on the left and one on the right.
Gu Changqing quietly observed.
Judging from their ages, the two maids were probably only eleven or twelve years old. Their appearances were not outstanding, but they were still quite pretty.
The two women, dressed in emerald green dresses, moved with proper manners and immediately curtsied upon entering the room.
"Greetings to the young master."
Their synchronized movements seemed to have been honed through countless trials.
All of them exude the elegance and nobility of a prestigious family.
Based on his memory, Gu Changqing gave a faint "hmm" and then ignored them, letting them serve him attentively.
After dressing and getting ready, Gu Changqing went to the full-length bronze mirror.
A tall, slender young man in white came into view.
Gu Changqing examined it carefully.
He had a straight posture and a fair complexion. His handsome face was framed by bright, starry eyes and arched eyebrows, making him exceptionally handsome and dashing.
Gu Changqing nodded in satisfaction and then dismissed the two maids.
He had just transmigrated here, and although he had inherited the original owner's memories, there were still some things that needed to be sorted out.
After the maids and servants left, Gu Changqing sat down, deep in thought.
This is a feudal-like era set in ancient times, with clear class distinctions. The lower classes toiled and barely survived, while the upper classes held power and monopolized resources.
He transmigrated here as the son of the city lord, living a life of comfort and luxury, and already holding a high position in society.
But if that's all there is to it, it could be considered a wealthy and noble family.
However, all of this is just an appearance.
As the son of the city lord, he possessed far more information than the average person from the lower classes.
This is not just a feudal world set in ancient times, but a terrifying world where immortals are high above, reaching for the stars and the moon.
Compared to them, the noble families and powerful clans of the mortal world are probably nothing more than lowly commoners like ants.
Thinking of this, Gu Changqing couldn't help but feel fortunate.
The title of Lord of Chaoyang City is merely a facade for his father. In reality, he is an honorary elder of the Luoxia Sect, one of the ten major sects in the Northern Region. His appointment as the mortal city lord is only a temporary assignment by the sect.
Strictly speaking, he was not the son of the Lord of Chaoyang City, but the son of an elder of the Luoxia Sect. The difference of just a few words in his title created a world of difference in their social status.
The former was merely a wealthy family in the mortal realm, while the latter was the true master of this world, a cultivator.
Compared to cultivators, the wealthy and powerful in the mortal world are no more than ants.
Moreover, he also has a grandfather who is an inner sect elder of the Luoxia Sect, one of the ten major sects in the Northern Region.
Unlike his father's honorary elders, the inner sect elders were the true high-ranking members, with unfathomable cultivation levels. They held the power of life and death in their hands, and with a single word, countless lower-level cultivators would rush to their aid. They were the true nobles of the immortal sects and the masters of heaven and earth.
It is no exaggeration to say that from the very beginning, Gu Changqing was already standing at the finish line that others had to strive for their entire lives.
Cultivators can move mountains and fill seas, achieve immortality and longevity, and determine the life and death of all beings with a single word.
When Gu Changqing thought of the words "longevity and long life," a fiery light ignited in her starry eyes, and a smile quietly appeared on her face.
According to the memories in his mind, today is the annual disciple recruitment competition of the Luoxia Sect. According to the original owner's father, the person leading the team this time is the original owner's grandfather, and he has made an exception to come to this city for him.
After sorting through his memories, Gu Changqing got up to eat. The food was exquisite, incomparable even to the technological explosion of his previous life. He enjoyed a delicious meal, and after a moment of contemplation, he headed towards the city lord's study.
