What's even more embarrassing was that after the time travel, he had to disguise himself as a fool... Fortunately, luck was on his side, as he gained the ability to travel through countless worlds. Starting from "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," he experienced various worlds such as "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," transitioning from martial arts to the path of cultivation, tempering his heart along the way. However, in the end, he couldn't escape the consequences brought about by his current body... There is a poem: Once wandering through three thousand tribulations beyond the heavens, Now residing in the mortal realm for five hundred years. A purple lightning sword dangles by his waist, Crimson flames rise in the alchemical furnace. Riding a white tiger across the boundless sea, Mounting a green dragon to enter the heavenly cave. Trivial skills playfully entertain us, While no one knows that I am a true immortal. PS: Book club ( ).
