The cultivation system of the Kyushu world is different, uniformly dividing it into five realms of cultivation.
This way, one doesn't need to compare complex cultivation techniques.
One can directly apply the cultivation realms.
The Five Realms of Cultivation: Awakening Meridians, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core Formation, Nascent Soul Transformation, and Void Breaking Ascension.
These are the Five Realms of Cultivation.
The owner of Fang Ming's current body is within the Lin family, in Liangchen County, located in Qingzhou of the Great Kyushu World.
His body is named Lin Xuan.
According to Fang Ming's search of Lin Xuan's memories, it can be confirmed that Lin Xuan possessed a notorious innate trash physique, making cultivation almost impossible. Even after cultivating for six to seven years, he couldn't even reach the first level of Meridian Awakening.
Lin Xuan's father was a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator. He worried greatly about Lin Xuan's trash aptitude, using secret techniques and various methods to try and salvage his son's poor talent. However, fate was sealed, and even as a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator, Lin Xuan's father could not change it in the slightest.
To prevent Lin Xuan from being a lifelong cripple, Lin Xuan's father took a risk and went to explore a predecessor's cave dwelling in Yunzhou, hoping to find the legendary "Heavenly Spirit True Flower."
The Heavenly Spirit Flower, while a precious spiritual herb for cultivators, was not difficult to obtain for someone at the Foundation Establishment realm.
However, the Heavenly Spirit True Flower was different.
It was a Heavenly Spirit Flower with legends dating back to ancient times, the true Heavenly Spirit Flower. The Heavenly Spirit Flowers of today are merely one of its countless descendants.
Even if it were a ten-thousand-year-old Heavenly Spirit Flower, with immense age, it would not be the true Heavenly Spirit Flower species.
The Heavenly Spirit True Flower had already been annihilated in an ancient war fought by immensely powerful beings.
At least in the Great Kyushu World, it was generally believed to be extinct, with no new ones appearing.
It had become "legend."
According to legend, the Heavenly Spirit True Flower possessed the ability to refine one's aptitude. Even a trash physique, unsuitable for cultivation, could be transformed from dross to gold, turning its possessor into a genius in cultivation.
Regardless of whether this rumor was true or false, it represented a glimmer of hope, perhaps the only hope for Lin Xuan's father.
Therefore, when he heard that there was a Heavenly Spirit True Flower in some remnant in Yunzhou, he rushed there in haste.
And afterward, he never returned.
The family's soul lamp extinguished, clearly indicating his demise—even at this point, it was uncertain whether the remnant truly contained the Heavenly Spirit True Flower.
Perhaps it was just another rumor.
But whatever the truth, it was no longer important to Lin Xuan himself.
Before his father's demise, although Lin Xuan was born a cripple with no cultivation talent and faced great difficulty in his practice, his father was a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator. While this was only the second realm in the Five Realms of Cultivation, within the small Lin family of the county, it held considerable influence.
Lin Xuan's life, though troublesome in terms of cultivation, was quite good in other aspects.
However, all of this changed after his father's death.
His life became miserable.
What treatment would a person without talent, who had lost their protector, and was of no value, receive?
The answer was, to be bullied by others, by the elders' descendants, and even by the servants.
Lin Xuan's father had contributed to the Lin family, leaving behind many luxurious courtyards in the family's residential area, but they had long since been occupied by others.
What remained for Lin Xuan was only a dilapidated house, a leaky, run-down dwelling.
As for the monthly medicinal pill quota, stipulated by the family for the offspring of Foundation Establishment realm cultivators, that was naturally gone.
It had all been embezzled by others.
Who knew how many hands it had passed through.
Lin Xuan could only cultivate silently in that dilapidated house, hoping for revenge.
But obviously, with his strength, unable to even reach the first level of Meridian Awakening, revenge was impossible.
And during an instance of bullying by a servant.
Lin Xuan could no longer endure such treatment and took his own life.
Following this, Fang Ming's soul traveled across and occupied this body that was devoid of a soul.
"Bullied by servants, mocked by others, this is the template of a trash protagonist."
"This Lin Xuan is indeed quite unlucky."
Fang Ming commented on this.
The identity of this body was not particularly good at the moment.
Although he had a father at the Foundation Establishment realm, and the "inheritance" he left behind remained, nominally he was still a young master within the Lin family.
But a young master who could be openly bullied by servants was merely a nominal young master, his actual status even lower than that of a servant.
After all, out of sight, out of mind.
With no protector and being a cultivation cripple, the cultivation resources left by his parents had long since been seized by many Lin family elders.
If he could be openly exploited, could he still expect the status his father had earned through merit to be useful?
That was in the past.
Not the present.
Things of the past could not be reclaimed.
Lin Xuan's current status as a young master in the Lin family was similar to Fang Ming's former status as an outer disciple in the Baiyun Sect.
Both were doing very poorly.
"Have I become accustomed to soul-transmigrating into trash bodies?"
"Why is it that every time I transmigrate, it's into a trash body?"
Fang Ming shook his head.
The body of the outer disciple in the Baiyun Sect could at least be said to have low cultivation aptitude, barely qualifying to enter the immortal sect.
Barely entering a cultivation sect and becoming the lowest-tier cultivator.
But that was still a cultivator.
Someone who could step through the gates of cultivation.
That was a qualification that required at least two white clouds of aptitude, or higher.
Surpassing those whose aptitude was detected as one white cloud by the mirror artifact.
They had no right to cultivate.
And now?
An innate trash physique, trash aptitude.
For six to seven years, he couldn't even cultivate to the first level of Meridian Awakening.
This aptitude was even inferior to Fang Ming's previous body in the Baiyun Sect.
He was a true cultivation cripple.
If tested by the Baiyun Sect's standards, he might only have one white cloud.
Representing an inability to cultivate, a level where he couldn't even become a spirit farmer.
Fang Ming shook his head.
This was truly a case of transmigrating into trash.
However...
"The body has changed, and it's a soul transmigration, but my cultivation and strength are still here. What's going on?"
Fang Ming looked inward, examining his current body.
This body, despite cultivation efforts, had failed to break through the threshold of cultivation after six to seven years, unable to enter the lowest realm—the first level of Meridian Awakening.
Unable to cultivate to the first realm within the Five Realms of Cultivation.
