After that, he took a deep breath as he slowly closed his eyes. Anyway, many things had happened in such a short period of time. But from now on, he was on the path of cultivation.
What he needed was to tread his path carefully, with solemn determination and courage.
Xiao slowly opened his eyes as he looked at the pale moon shining softly in the sky. All sorts of emotions, memories, and feelings quietly flickered through his eyes.
He muttered quietly.
"From now on, I am not just Xiao, an Earthling from a civilized society. From today onwards, I am Cultivator Xiao, who has been transmigrated and possesses the memories of this world's Xiao. I am Cultivator Xiao, the Prince of the Cardinal Royal Family, and the one who will bear the Heaven's Will in this generation and become a Great Emperor in the future."
Thinking so, he smiled slightly. Now that he had adjusted his mindset, it was time for him to go and check out the library.
So Xiao turned around as he was about to head to the library. Suddenly, a dull sensation struck his mind. At the same time, a sense of déjà vu washed over him as an intense pain assaulted his mind for the second time.
Xiao clutched his head as he let out a groan.
"Ughhh... not again, Goddammit!"
He was really angry and tired of it, as every time this pain would suddenly strike at the most unexpected moment and catch him off guard with unbearable pain.
Just as he was about to complain, what happened next almost made his eyes pop out as he froze on the spot, stunned in disbelief.
[Ding. Transmigration completed. Ding. Soul merging completed. Ding. Memory transfer completed. Congratulations, Host, for awakening the Void Record. Check your status window by opening the Void Record.]
A pale, almost mechanical female voice entered his mind, giving him goosebumps.
But that was not what Xiao cared about. Instead, his mind was working rapidly, trying to make sense of the current situation, 'No way! Damnit, are you kidding me? Did I just activate a golden finger? I actually got a golden finger just like those protagonists in the novels! This is simply ridiculous. Dammit, how can a cultivation world be so predictable and easy?'
He took several deep breaths, trying to calm his rapidly racing mind. Even though it did not calm down completely, he was much calmer than before.
Then Xiao thought calmly, 'Also, my guess was true. I did not reincarnate into this world, nor am I awakening the memories of my previous life. Instead, I was transmigrated into this world. And as for that sense of fulfillment, when the transmigration process was completed and my soul merged with this world's Xiao, that was when I felt that sense of fulfillment. As though we were supposed to be one from the very beginning,' Xiao let out a deep sigh.
'All of this is fishy, filled with plots and conspiracies. I hope this isn't the scheme of some old bastard. Or that this artifact isn't part of some old monster's revival plan. Dammit, I am not some pawn they can manipulate however they wish.' He squinted his eyes, 'But then again, there is nothing I can do about that right now. I can only hope to become stronger and stronger until I am powerful enough to crush the bastard, or whoever it is, that dares to plot against me,'
'And until then, I can only pray that those bastards won't reveal their claws against me or use any other means whatsoever,' Hoping that his guess would not turn out to be true, he opened the Void Record, which was really simple. He only had to think about it in his mind, and the artifact responded just as it had said before.
Lines of illusory text appeared before him.
Those texts were written in the Runic Language, the one and only language of the cultivation world.
[Name]: Xiao
[Identity]: Prince of the Cardinal Royal Family, Master of the Void Record
[Title]: None
[Location]: Nine Emperor World (Imperial City)
[Cultivation]: None
[Artifacts]: Void Record (Sealed)
[Feats]: None
Looking at the Void Record, Xiao remained silent for a while before thinking inwardly, 'Name? Title? Location? Well, those things are simply information about myself, and they aren't false or incorrect. As for cultivation... since I haven't awakened yet and possess no cultivation, it's completely correct for this section to display "None."'
He looked at the other entries on the status window, 'It also has an Artifacts section? Well, since I only have this artifact, it's normal that this section only shows the Void Record, as I don't currently possess any other artifacts. And then there is this thing called Feats as well,'
Xiao thought silently, 'But what exactly is a feat? Wait... I think I know what a feat is! Maybe it's something like killing a cultivator while still being a mortal. Or maybe slaying a Void Shattering Esteemed One as a Demigod. Or something even crazier, like killing a Great Emperor as a Supreme,' He laughed in disbelief.
'Maybe feats are supposed to be something like that. A deed that is completely ridiculous and unbelievable to even imagine. Maybe that is what can truly be called a feat,' Then he shook his head.
'If that is what a feat is, then what use does it have? Is it supposed to grant some blessings every time I gain a feat? Or will every accumulated feat provide me with some kind of passive boost? Or maybe there is no such thing at all. Instead, this feat section is just for display,' Then he paused slightly as he decided not to think about it anymore. Instead, he chose to ask the Void Record about it.
But to his surprise or rather, just as he had expected the mysterious artifact did not answer him.
Xiao felt slightly offended by this as he cursed the vile artifact in his mind, 'Dammit, even an artifact is ignoring me now. Great. Simply great. Sigh... what a wonderful thing this is. Really, I don't know whether I should cry or laugh.'
After criticizing the mysterious artifact to his heart's content, Xiao was about to check some other things about it.
But before he could do so, in the very next moment, the voice of the Void Record entered his mind.
