(You suddenly die and reincarnate again.)
(You are born into a merchant family and named Duan Zhixing.)
(You find in your memory the Lotus Visualisation Technique, Blood Mark Meditation, Six Pole Technique, Nine Spells, and memories of spear and combat skills.)
(You feel confused—you don't remember Earth, only faint impressions of a visualisation technique and spear combat.)
(You assume this is your golden finger.)
(From birth, you practice the Lotus Visualisation Technique, which only improves memory.)
(You also try the Blood Mark Meditation, but within minutes, you grow sleepy and fall asleep.)
(Your parents grow worried and call a doctor.)
(To avoid alarming them, you continue the practice only at night.)
(You can't enter your sea of consciousness to verify progress.)
(But the exhaustion afterwards and the clarity in thought convince you it's working.)
(At three, you begin training with a spear.)
(The family guard captain notices your talent and accepts you as a disciple.)
(He teaches you martial arts, and only then do you realise this is a cultivation world.)
(The martial path has the lower four realms, the middle three, and the upper three.)
(Your teacher is a ninth-level martial artist who only knows the lower four realms and the first middle realm's name.)
(The lower four realms are: Sensing, Forging, Hammering, and Refining.)
(To enter the Sensing Realm, one must train the body and will to sense physical energy.)
(Your teacher teaches you the Iron Body Technique.)
( You find the Six Pole Technique in your memory is a martial art technique.)
( And it looks stronger than the Iron Body Technique.)
( But you don't understand Martial Art, so you refrain from practising the Six Pole Technique and continue with the Iron Body Technique.)
(After two months, you reach the Sensing Realm, gathering energy into your dantian.)
(Your father rejoices—he has wealth but lacks strength.)
(Seeing your potential, he begins investing resources into you.)
(At six, you enter the Forging Realm, tempering muscle and skin with Qi.)
(Your father gifts you a quasi middle-rank technique—Willow Spear.)
(You find the technique familiar and perfect it within minutes.)
(Using your memories, you evolve it into a true middle-rank technique.)
(You awaken Spear Qi but hide it, knowing such talent would make you a monster in others' eyes.)
(Your strong spirit gives you advanced control over Qi.)
(At nine, you reach the Hammering Realm and keep it secret.)
(At thirteen, you enter the Refining Realm but claim only to be in Hammering.)
(You join the family caravan.)
(At fourteen, you learn the names of the middle three realms: Outer, Inner, and Vision.)
(Your understanding of martial arts is now sufficient, and you figure out that the Six Pole Technique is a middle-ranking technique.)
(But you do not start practising the Six Pole Technique. You are suspicious of this technique. The other knowledge inside your memory is not from this world, yet this technique clearly belongs to this world.)
(You continue with the Iron Body Technique, as it can still be practised because you have not yet reached the peak of the Refining Realm.)
(However, you study the Six Pole Technique in detail, searching for any hidden traps within it.)
(At seventeen, you reach the peak of the Refining Realm, and you tell your family about your achievement.)
(Your father arranges a celebration and spreads the news throughout the town. Since no one else in the town has ever reached the Refining Realm, this makes your family the strongest force in the area.)
(On the day of celebration, every force in the town arrives. Many are sceptical about your claim, but when you release your aura, you silence them instantly. After that day, your family gains a major voice in the running of the town.)
(Now the time comes for you to decide whether to practise the Six Pole Technique or not. You have not found any traps in the technique, but perhaps due to your limited knowledge, there may be something you have missed.)
(The Six Pole Technique is a method in which six different powers are combined.)
(You could advance to the Outer Field Realm using any one of these powers and then combine it with the Iron Body Technique.)
(You decide not to practise the Six Pole Technique, but instead to comprehend the power of Fire Yang from it.)
(After understanding the Fire Yang power, you gain the ability to sense the spiritual energy all around you.)
(You begin absorbing Fire Yang spiritual energy and merge it with your Qi. When it fully merges into its True Qi form, you advance to the Outer Field Realm.)
(The Outer Field Realm is divided into two stages: the Small Outer Field Realm and the Large Outer Field Realm. Your knowledge of Fire Yang will only assist you through the Small Outer Field Realm.)
(At twenty years of age, you advance to the Small Outer Field Realm. A one-metre-diameter golden flame energy field forms around you. Even though you have only advanced a small realm, you find that your strength has at least doubled, and your lifespan can now reach up to 150 years.)
(The next day, you teach your master the improved Iron Body Technique, now known as the Golden Iron Body Technique. With the technique and with you nourishing him with spiritual energy, he advances to the Hammering Realm.)
(You tell your master and your parents that you plan to leave for two to three years to broaden your knowledge of the world. They agree.)
(The very next day, you set off. Your destination is the Golden Sand Desert. According to the book, its spiritual energy leans strongly toward Fire Yang during the daytime.)
(It takes you two months to reach the Golden Sand Desert. You join a convoy to travel through it. Your next destination—the capital city of the Golden Sand Kingdom.)
(On the very first day of your journey through the desert, you encounter its infamous speciality: Sand Robbers. You are in a hurry to reach your destination, so you take action immediately, killing all the robbers. The people in the convoy are in awe of your strength and give you a large carriage.)
(Inside the carriage, during the day, you focus on comprehending the power of Fire Yang.)
(During the journey, one day, the convoy stops in the middle of the day. You step outside to find two groups fighting. You see that one group is wearing the uniform of the royal guards of the Golden Sand Kingdom, while the other is dressed entirely in black.)
(The royal guards are losing. While protecting a carriage, they move toward your convoy and ask for help. You decide to assist them, reasoning that the black-clad group would likely attack the convoy if they defeated the royal guards.)
(Among the black-clad group, an Outer Field Realm martial artist steps forward to stop you. You are both in the same realm, but your spear skill proves far more formidable. You seriously injure the martial artist, and the arrival of the convoy guards helps reverse the losing trend of the royal guards.)
(Seeing the tide of battle turn against them, the black-clad group retreats. The royal guards join your convoy to travel to Taeralis. You learn that the carriage they were protecting carries the Eighth Princess of the Golden Sand Kingdom.)
(The Eighth Princess invites you into her carriage. She is beautiful—a fragile beauty that stirs the desire to protect her. She thanks you and asks if you will become her guard. Even though your heart leaps to say yes, you follow your mind and refuse. You want her, and you know that if you become her guard, you will never have her.)
(A week later, you feel your field can expand and that you are close to breaking through to the Large Outer Field Realm. The next day, you enter Taeralis. You part ways with the convoy and rent a small house in the city. You are not here to enjoy yourself but to train. You send your family a letter about your safety and journey.)
(You read the Six Pole technique in your memory, searching for how to break through to the Inner Field Realm. To break through, you must sense each field of your cells and combine them. Once they unite, you will break through. Your lifespan has already been extended to 180 years, so you have plenty of time.)
(You start sensing the fields in your cells while comprehending the power of Fire Yang. You cannot break through the realm for now, but you can continue to increase your strength.)
(Three weeks later, as usual, you go to find food. While walking the streets of the market, a carriage stops beside you, and your name is called from inside. Your heart leaps upon hearing the voice. You control yourself and enter the carriage.)
(Inside is the eighth princess and her maid. You take a seat and ask the princess how she is. The princess answers she is well and asks the same of you.)
(You answer that you have not been well, but seeing her has improved your mood. The princess blushes. Her maid scolds you. You only smile.)
(You learn that the princess is going to a painting meet among the young nobles of the kingdom. She invites you. You agree, wanting to spend time with her and win her heart.)
(The meeting is in a large garden. Seeing you with the princess, the male noble children develop curiosity and hostility toward you. They repeatedly inquire about your identity. You reply, "A common person from the Dawu Kingdom.")
(The princess informs them that you are an Outer Field martial artist. That cools them down somewhat. But after the meet starts, you are invited to paint.)
(The princess wants to refuse on your behalf, but you accept before she can. You draw a golden flame on the paper. As soon as you finish, the paper catches fire and burns to ashes. You have drawn your understanding of Fire Yang, and the paper could not handle the power.)
(You become famous among the noble children, and from then on, you continue to participate in meetings with the princess.)
(At age 23, you break through to the Inner Field Realm. Your strength increases threefold, and your lifespan reaches 240 years. The Inner Field Realm is divided into the Spiritual Realm and the Power Realm.)
(To break through to the Spiritual Realm, you must sense the field around your soul and connect it with your physical field.)
(The next day, you say goodbye to the teary-eyed princess, promising to return in a few months.)
(You begin your journey home. Three years have passed since you left.)
(After returning home, you find that your mother has given birth to your little brother, who is now one year old. You reveal your cultivation in the Outer Field Realm, intimidating the forces around the town.)
(You leave home again after one month.)
(One month later, you enter Taeralis city again. This time, you rent a large home. You want to settle in the Golden Sand Kingdom, and your goal is to marry the eighth princess, Gu Yaoxi. Your strength is sufficient, but you need status in the Golden Sand Kingdom.)
(In the Golden Sand Kingdom, only the navy is fighting—at the southern Coral Sea against the pirates and the Huff Kingdom. You join the Navy. Even though you are a citizen of the Dawu Kingdom, they agree after seeing your martial arts realm and learning that you are the eighth princess's friend.)
(You join as captain of a ship, and over the next two years, you fight like a madman in one battle after another, becoming the deputy commander of a fleet.)
(After that, you return. You meet the king and request his permission to marry the eighth princess. He agrees.)
(You send a letter home, inviting your family to move here and informing them of your marriage. Two months later, your family arrives.)
(At age 26, you marry Gu Yunxi. Together with your family, you move to her fief, Baku City. Three months later, you break through to the Spiritual Realm. The next realm is the Power Realm. To break through, you must merge your physical and spiritual fields completely, with your willpower controlling the new field.)
(At age 27, Gu Yunxi gives birth to your son, Duan Zuzhi.)
(At age 29, your daughter, Duan Yue, is born.)
(At age 30, you break through to the Power Realm. You can live up to 270 years old. The next realm is the Vision Realm.)
(To break through the Vision Realm, the outer and inner fields need to become one field.)
(At age 34, you break through the Vision Realm. The Vision Realm doesn't contain any small realms. You can live up to 300 years old. The next realm is the Innate Realm. To break through the Innate Realm, develop your vision and get in sync with the world. Then you can sense the deeper power of the world and absorb it to refine your true qi into innate qi.)
(His vision is the Golden Flame Sea. It comes from the Fire Yang power. To develop his vision, he needs to increase his understanding of the Fire Yang power.)
(At age 40, you break through to the Innate Realm. Your fame spreads far and wide. Your father-in-law bestows upon you the title of marquis. Out of a hundred Vision Realm martial artists, perhaps none may break through to the Innate Realm—such is its rarity.)
(At age 41, the Golden Sand Kingdom is invaded by the Tunis Empire from the west. You go to fight in the war.)
(At age 43, you are killed by three Innate martial artists from the Tunis Empire.)
(Rating — B. Reward — Understanding of Fire Yang power.)
