Seeking Eternal Life from the World of the Smiling, Proud Wanderer

Gu Changfeng transmigrates into the world of *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer* as a disciple of Huashan’s Qi Sect—before the catastrophic Sword-Qi conflict has erupted, while the future remains unwritten. With a string of 108 Bodhi beads that grant him supreme innate talent and continuous rewards, he quickly grows beyond the sect’s martial disputes. Swordsmanship and internal cultivation, the very heart of the coming schism, no longer concern him. He practices the famed techniques of his school and even glimpses the legendary Nine Swords of Dugu, yet his only question is: can any of these lead to immortality? For Gu Changfeng, eternal life is not mere survival—it is the key to roaming countless realms, unraveling the truths of the universe, and savoring every beauty each world offers. His very first goal, therefore, is to win over the still-young and innocent Ning Zhongze and make her his wife. His odyssey has already carried him through the completed arcs of *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer* and *Zhu Xian*, and now presses onward into the unfolding saga of *Mortal Immortal Cultivation*.
