My Xianxia Harem Life

"…Primordial Chaos Physique!" Riley exclaimed. He knew that with his weak cultivation, obtaining this physique would be a game-changer. It was the perfect solution to his current limitations.

He also believed that this physique sounded even more op than the Heavenly Sword God Physique, making it the obvious choice for him.

"Affirmative, host!"

Ding!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Riley screamed once more, for the third time that day. His entire body felt as though it was shattering—because it was.

Blood poured from every orifice, and even his pores were leaking crimson streams.

Crack!

His bones snapped, and his heart exploded in his chest—only to regenerate a breath later. The torment stretched on for an hour, during which the floor was stained with blood, flesh, and shattered bones.

When the agony finally subsided, a new Riley rose from the chaos.

"Wow… I really can't get used to that kind of pain," Riley muttered, wiping the blood from his face. The room was an absolute mess, but he paid it no mind. His focus was now elsewhere.

He walked over to a nearby mirror and—

Bang!

His foot shattered the stone floor beneath him with a loud crack.

"Oops!" Riley said with a grin.

 "Seems like there's been a lot of changes in my body." He wasn't alarmed. Instead, he was filled with excitement. He could feel the untapped power surging within him, radiating from his fists.

More than that, he could sense the spiritual essence of the world flowing into his skin even without actively cultivating.

He had no idea just how strong he had become, but it was clear that something monumental had shifted.

Stepping in front of the full-sized mirror, he removed his bloodstained brown outer cultivator robes and stood there, taking in his reflection.

"Oh… my… lord…" Riley gasped in disbelief.

This was the first time he'd truly seen himself in this world, and the sight left him speechless. His face was far more handsome than any actor he'd ever seen on Earth, his features striking and perfect.

His body?

It was beyond anything he'd ever imagined, more imposing than even the mightiest of gods.

Standing at six foot five, he was the epitome of perfection. His long black hair flowed as though caught in an invisible wind, and his physique was sculpted to absolute perfection.

And as for his… little brother?

Riley couldn't help but be awestruck. He was, without a doubt, a monstrous sight.

"This… this is me now?" he muttered under his breath, feeling both awe and a strange sense of power coursing through his veins.

He stood taller, stronger, and more handsome than anyone he had ever encountered. This transformation was the start of something unimaginable.

"Perhaps I can now find a woman to love in this world. Hehehe," Riley grinned widely. Back on Earth, he had lived to be a hundred years old, but he remained a single man—not for lack of trying, though.

He had tried and tried, but women never seemed to like him. He wasn't born particularly attractive, and he never saw the point in dating below his standards.

While there were women who showed interest in him later in life, after he'd become successful and wealthy, they were like greedy piranhas, only interested in his money.

In the end, Riley died a virgin, but he was at peace with it. He had lived a full, meaningful life, dedicating his time, money, and effort to bettering his community. He had no regrets.

Now that he thought about it, perhaps this was the good karma he had earned on Earth, and it was the reason he had received a second chance at life in this world.

"Thank you, system! For coming into my life!" Riley shouted, his voice filled with gratitude.

"You're most welcome, host! The system is here to serve and assist you," the system replied cheerfully.

Riley nodded, his excitement mounting as he focused.

"Now, time to start this business of cultivating."

He took a deep breath to calm himself and then turned his attention to the cabinet. There, he found a fresh set of clothes—a golden cultivator's robe that spoke of extravagance and status.

Since no one else was around, he figured he could use whatever he wanted in this place. He donned the golden robes, tidied up the room, and then sat down on the bed.

With a calm mind, he settled into a lotus position and began cultivating.

BANG!

In just a single breath of cultivating, Riley felt a surge of power, and to his surprise, he broke through to a new stage in his cultivation.

"Just like that?" He chuckled in disbelief, the sense of accomplishment settling in. He couldn't believe how quickly it had happened. This was just the beginning.

BANG!

1st Stage Golden Core Realm!

Riley felt a sudden shift as a golden core began to form within his navel. It expanded quickly, growing larger and more refined with each passing moment until it fully solidified.

But the moment it was complete, it siphoned all the strength from his body. With his Primordial Chaos Physique, however, the amount stolen was negligible—merely a drop in the vastness of the ocean.

His golden core filled up swiftly and settled comfortably in his dantian.

"Wow! That's a nice feeling!" Riley couldn't help but exclaim, overwhelmed by the sensation. Cultivating was nothing like he had imagined. It wasn't boring at all; in fact, it felt far more pleasurable.

It was almost like a high, even more exhilarating than any rush he had ever experienced.

Even more than jacking off!

This must be why cultivators never went mad while cultivating—they simply lost track of time and space.

That's why a secluded cultivation cave was crucial; without it, a cultivator could easily fall victim to assassination while lost in the blissful trance of cultivation.

"Let's continue." Riley grinned, ready to press on. But before he could close his eyes, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Young Master Riley?" A sweet voice reached his ears.
