“Yue Shishu, Da Shixiong, come quick. There are two children here!” Jin Ling’er made her discovery widely known, Between the time of her shout, Yue Zhongling and Qin Mo had arrived in front of the kids.
The two children were around seven to eight years old. At this moment, they were hiding in a huge stone cavern in fear. When they saw Yue Zhongling and Qin Mo coming, the two cowered deeper into the cavern, with wary expressions on their faces. They stared at the three with bloodshot eyes. It was clear that the two children were extremely frightened at the moment.
Seeing their response, Yue Zhongling softened his stern face and said, “Be at ease. We are cultivators from the Yueqing Sect, here to recruit disciples on the behalf of our sect.”
Upon hearing Yue Zhongling’s words, the two children looked at their extraordinary, immortal-like appearance, before their eyes turned red from emotion. In a moment of excitement, they knelt down and exclaimed, “Greetings to the immortal masters.”
Watching things unfold, for some reason, everything gave Qin Mo a strange sense of familiarity. He shook his head and then straightened out his disheveled sleeves from his haste. He must be disoriented due to his sudden transmigration, which led to the birth of this strange feeling.
“What exactly happened to Linjia Village?” Yue Zhongling asked, glancing at the horrific sight around him.
“This morning, many people dressed in black came to the village and killed everyone…” When the child in white heard the immortal senior’s question, he quickly looked up, wiped away the tears on his face and answered. He clenched his fists as hatred shone from within his eyes.
Yue Zhongling showed a look of respect from the child’s reaction, not expecting a child to stay calm in such a devastating disaster at such a young age. He asked, “Kid, what’s your name?”
“My name is Lin Zizheng!” The youth called Lin Zizheng showed a hint of joy on his face when he heard the immortal master ask for his name. It was such an honor to be noticed by the immortal master, and his parents would be ecstatic if they learned of this, but…As his thought reached here, the light in his eyes dimmed, and the hint of joy on his face disappeared. Now that his parents were gone, who would he share this joy with?

Lin Zizheng? Lin Zizheng! Qin Mo’s eyes widened. So that was why he found the scene in front of him so familiar. Just hearing this child’s name filled in all of the blanks in his memory. In his spare time, he once read a xianxia stallion book, but he found the novel setting to have too many xuanhuan elements, so he scanned through it.
The male protagonist in the novel was Lin Zizheng. At the age of seven, he was orphaned because of demonic cultivators. After experiencing this setback, he was accepted as a disciple, then he subdued magical beasts, eliminated the demon clan, and ultimately succeeded in ascending to immortality. The most distinctive feature in the novel was how he always maintained a compassionate heart, simply put, he was a Holy Father!

Then, the corner of his lips twitched faintly. The Senior Martial Brother in Yueqing Sect where the main protagonist joined happened to be Qin Mo. If he remembered correctly, this Senior Martial Brother was an essential character in the stallion novel.
In the early stage, he was gifted with inner talent, high cultivation, a good look as well as a smart and adorable Junior Martial Sister as his fiancee.
In the middle stage, he was taken off guard and was defeated by Lin Zizheng, an extremely insignificant Junior Martial Brother. Since then, he fell from his divine pedestal, even his Junior Martial Sister turned her back on him and ran off with another.
In the late stage, he continued to blacken and turned to the way of demonic cultivation. Despite becoming the final villainous boss, he was still ruthlessly beaten down by the protagonist. Because of the protagonist’s Holy Father nature, he was ultimately sealed for eternity. Right now, he was that essential, cannon fodder Senior Martial Brother.
Thinking here, even Qin Mo, who had always been calm and indifferent, wanted to curse at heaven. Did he transmigrate just so he could become this cannon fodder Senior Martial Brother? Just so someone could complete the final seal on him? Hmph, what a joke. If that was how the plot would end, he would not proceed like this. Moreover…he tightly clenched his hands hidden in his sleeve.
He wanted to return, go back to his own world.
Qin Mo glanced at Lin Zizheng with a hint of viciousness in his eyes, but what he saw stunned him in place. At this moment, Lin Zizheng’s eyes were widened, not at all hiding the sadness and hatred inside. Tears slid down his dusty face, forming clear trails on his cheeks, and exposing his white and tender skin. Looking at the child, Qin Mo unconsciously thought of himself. He had the same expression when facing his parents’ corpses. Nothing was sadder than a withered heart.
He let out a soft sight inside. Oh well, he shouldn’t resent Lin Zizheng. After all, being a Holy Father protagonist was not all smooth sailing either. As long as he kept a distance from Jin Ling’er, everything he just listed wouldn’t happen. His main task would be finding a way home, and he believed that anything was possible in this magical world. After finding many excuses for not hating Lin Zizheng, his gaze unconsciously softened as well. He would never admit himself as cold outwardly and warm inwardly anyway.
Looking at these two kids, Yue Zhongling darted his eyes from left to right, and as if he had remembered something, he smiled from the corner of his mouth. He took out a spherical object, gently beckoned the two kids over and said, “Come here, let’s test if the two of you have spiritual roots.”
At these words, the two children’s eyes lit up. Lin Zizheng felt a burning enthusiasm. Just yesterday, his parents said that as long as he had spiritual roots, he could go to the immortal master’s sect to cultivate the way of immortality, and eventually become an immortal himself. If he possessed spiritual roots, he could avenge his parents. Having that in mind, he had to stand up against his trembling knees. When he saw Lin San was still frozen in place, he quickly helped him up as they approach Yue Zhongling together.
“Come, hold this.” Yue Zhongling handed them the round ball.
Qin Mo took a slightly curious look at the transparent ball and found that it was somewhat similar to the crystal ball from his own world. He had no idea how this thing could detect spiritual roots.
Lin San took the crystal ball first and grasped it tightly. After a while, his face blushed and sweat poured out of his face, but there was no change from the crystal ball. Yue Zhongling let out a soft sigh and concluded, “You are without spiritual roots in your body.” Upon hearing this, Lin San’s face immediately turned pale.
Learning of Lin San’s lack of success, Lin Zizheng became tense inside as he took the crystal ball with a small tremor in his hands. The moment the crystal ball was in his hands, it emitted five colorful lights. Gold, green, cyan, red and brown appeared accordingly. Lin Zizheng couldn’t resist smiling at this result. Before his smile could fully bloom, he heard Yue Zhongling sighed and said, “It had to be the five spiritual roots.”
Lin Zizheng didn’t understand what he meant by ‘five spiritual roots’, but as a smart child, he could pick up a clear sense of disappointment in Yue Zhongling’s tone. He instantly became nervous and asked, “Does it mean I can’t practice immortal magic?”
Yue Zhongling just put aside his frustrated emotion and forced out a smile, saying, “You can still cultivate.” But it would be more difficult, and there was even a chance of never succeeding. However, that last part was kept to himself, because he didn’t want to shatter the boy’s hope.
Observing their interaction. Qin Mo objected inside. Even if Lin Zizheng has wasted spiritual roots having aptitude with all five elements right now, he would encounter a cultivation method that was suitable for his own cultivation—Secret of Primal Chaos, a benefit as a protagonist.
After the spiritual root test, they were ready to depart from here. Looking at Lin San, who possessed no spiritual root, Yue Zhongling hesitated briefly and decided to send him to the Lijia Village, which wasn’t far from Linjia Village, since ordinary people without spiritual roots couldn’t join the Yueqing Sect for cultivation.
One additional person joined their party on their journey back to the sect. Because Yue Zhongling was only in the early stages of Foundation Building, he couldn’t take them home using the defensive flying sword. Therefore, he took out a boat-shaped flying magical item from his cosmic bag and took them back to the Yueqing Sect.
Qin Mo stood on top of the magical item, kept feeling like he had forgotten something. However, at the thought of his urgent need to return and familiarize himself with his body, he put this idea behind him.
At the entrance of Lijia Village, when Lin San turned back at the departing party of four, there was reluctance filled in his eyes. How was Lin Zizheng able to learn immortal magic while he got to stay in the mountain village and die alone from age. This was not fair.
The translator has something to add:
Teo: How many readers have I offended for using ‘cosmic bag’ :3c I thought it’s kind of a cute name. Beat having to see misspelled lines all over Google doc. And God forbid, me mistyping the word for real.
And the og protagonist appears 🎊🎊🎉🎉 ! Thank you for the translation ❤️
Thanks for the translation and explanation of the magic space baggie! 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣
I legit read ‘cosmic bag’ as ‘cosmetic bag’ and had to re-read the sentence a few times before it clicked 😂😂😂
Cosmetic bag LOL i mean they do hold insane amount of makeup tools.
…. I read that as cosmetic bag too…🤣
It’s sounds cute!
Thank You for the chapter (♡ ὅ ◡ ὅ )ʃ♡
oh oh Lin San seems to be the Villain or at least the antagonist?
I bet Lin San is going to be some important character/ villain?
Cosmic bag sounds a bit awkward, probably just from the habit of reading ‘qiankun’. More baffling to me is the reference to ‘Doraemon’. I’ve seen it before, but I still have no idea what it is.
