now people are starting to wonder if the cultivation world is real but i see little to no mention of the game creators being investigated for how they created these cultivation techniques for their game. how are these 'big' and 'powerful' families not just going after the game creators to skip to the best techniques? why play the game when you can get the people who made it?
My theory is, he is that immortal reborn, kinda obvious, but he intended to be reborn in the 9 heavens. where cultivation is well known and everyone tries to do it when they are young. But he was reborn on earth where noone knows about cultivation. There he was with a body and soul made for cultivation but unable to do it. In the end his soul was too powerful for his own body and crippled himself. His loyal servant in the highest heaven noticed that and created a link to the cultovation world, Aka Cultivation Online
I think this related to Yuan or other factor this cultivation online is exist. We had a few hint that Yuan related to the previous life but it make me wonder how can he so broke. I mean his body had a hard time to cultivate until a few item which heal his body but still he not completely cured. It way complicated until a few more hint appear when Yuan ascend to upper level.
