The Veritable Record of Immortal Ming

Earth's cultivation era begins with the Ming Dynasty! Purple Mansion cultivator Zhu Youjian fails his breakthrough to the Golden Core and finds his soul transmigrating into none other than the Chongzhen Emperor, Zhu Youjian—the Embryonic Breathing Immortal Emperor. Determined to turn Earth into a blessed cave heaven, he sets five ambitious goals: sink Fengdu into the planet's core to establish the Underworld and the cycle of reincarnation; boost agricultural yields to one hundred thousand jin per mu and expand the population to one hundred billion; transform Siberia's permafrost and the Sahara Desert into fertile croplands; halt continental drift and reunite the seven continents into a single landmass; and finally, crash Earth into Mercury to claim the sun for itself alone. This is the story of a civilization's leap in cultivation, with Chongzhen as the origin of all mystical laws—an epic ensemble cast in a world where history meets the supernatural.
