Southern Wilderness Region.
Qingzhou.
Great Zhou Dynasty.
Burial Immortal Mountain Range.
Here, towering mountains rise from the flat ground, reaching as high as the clouds. Standing on the mountain peak, the sea of clouds is within reach, and the scenery is quite beautiful. The spiritual energy is so dense that it feels almost tangible. If a cultivator were here, they would be greatly astonished: isn't this a forbidden land? How can the spiritual energy be so abundant!
On a mountain peak.
At this moment, a white-robed man, with a dull expression, looked at the magnificent, towering, ancient, and weathered buildings on the peaks before him. His face changed, and he couldn't help but curse.
"Ah!"
"Damn system!"
"Return my Immortal King cultivation!"
"[Ding, host, please don't give up on yourself. You must cheer up and believe in the light!]"
The system was unscrupulously trying to persuade the white-robed man.
Damn it!
"[Ding, Sect System successfully bound. As long as the host makes the Sect bigger and stronger, Immortal King cultivation will soon be a dream... cultivated!]"
Hearing the voice in his mind, the white-robed man was even more stunned. He was promised cultivation if he just slacked off, right?
Now he's even binding a Sect to him?
Is this asking him to work for it?
"System, are you sure you're the strongest system in all the heavens?"
"What's the use of giving me a big villa on a mountain peak!"
I want to be a Great Emperor, I want to be an Immortal Emperor, I want to dominate the ages... Ah! Damn system!
"[Ding, Kunlun Sect, Sect residence prototype completed. Please recruit disciples within three days! Note: For every genius disciple recruited, the host will receive a random summon card. Note: Summon cards can summon experts from all heavens! Fixed reward: Sect residence perfected once!]"
The voice in his mind no longer paid attention to him, directly and forcefully assigning a very inhuman task.
...
Lu Chen looked at the large villa before him with a worried expression. He had just transmigrated to this fantasy world a day ago and had signed in to receive Immortal King cultivation, but before he could even be happy, this damn system took it back.
Now, it had even forcefully bound a Sect to him, making him recruit disciples within three days.
Damn it!
Lu Chen cursed the system, looking annoyed.
But thankfully, this system still had some humanity and didn't go too far. At least it didn't say that he'd lose his kidney if he failed the mission.
"[Ding, a genius detected in front of the Sect. Please proceed to recruit him into the Sect as soon as possible!]"
Kunlun Sect, in front of the Sect gate at the foot of the mountain.
Lin Yun looked at the two ancient stone pillars reaching straight into the clouds, carved with the words 'Kunlun', and his face changed drastically. He couldn't help but exclaim,
"This Burial Immortal Mountain Range is a forbidden land!"
"Could it be... there's still a Sect here?"
"Should I go up and take a look..."
Just as Lin Yun was deep in thought, a voice came from the heavenly stairs behind the stone pillars.
Lu Chen, dressed in white, walked down with his hands behind his back.
"Young man, I see that your bone structure is extraordinary, your physique is unusual, and you possess the potential of a Divine King. A future Great Emperor is within reach. Are you willing to join my Kunlun Sect?"
Lu Chen looked at Lin Yun with a calm expression, speaking with the aura of a peerless expert.
Lin Yun was stunned.
Unusual physique? A future Great Emperor? Then why did my clansmen call me a useless person who couldn't open spirit meridians and even expel me from the family?
Kunlun Sect?
"I originally came to the Burial Immortal Mountain Range to seek opportunities. This Kunlun Sect seems extraordinary, and the Sect is actually within this forbidden land."
Lin Yun thought to himself.
At this moment, Lu Chen looked at the suspicious Lin Yun, feeling extremely anxious in his heart, thinking, 'Hurry up and agree!'
As long as he could recruit a genius disciple, he would get a summon card. If he summoned a Great Emperor then, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in this world?
"Um... May I ask, what kind of experts does your esteemed Sect have?" Lin Yun asked timidly.
Although he was a good-for-nothing in his family and no Sect was willing to accept him, the person in front of him spoke of Divine Kings and Great Emperors as if he had seen them, his tone truly grand!
"My Kunlun Sect has countless experts and is incredibly powerful. If you join my Kunlun Sect, there will naturally be experts who will personally teach you cultivation and help you become a peerless expert!"
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Lu Chen immediately started bragging, speaking with a serious expression.
Hehe, in his previous life, he had read so many novels about red-haired monsters. Divine Kings, Great Emperors, Immortal Emperors—weren't those just things to brag about?
"Really?"
Lin Yun looked at Lu Chen in disbelief. A peerless expert teaching him one-on-one? Even a Holy Land wouldn't dare to say such a thing, let alone him, who couldn't open spirit meridians!
"Naturally so. If this Venerable One didn't see your extraordinary physique, you wouldn't even be qualified to enter my Kunlun!" Lu Chen said calmly.
"Alright then!"
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Lin Yun thought it wouldn't hurt to try. Anyway, no Sect was willing to take him, a useless person who couldn't open spirit meridians and had been abandoned by his family. Perhaps joining this Kunlun Sect might have a way to help him open his spirit meridians.
"[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully recruiting a genius disciple, activating the Strongest Sect System of All Heavens, obtaining a beginner summon card, a cultivation card, and a fixed reward: successful completion of the Sect disciple pavilion!]"
As soon as Lin Yun's words fell, Lu Chen received the system's reward. He was so excited that he wanted to shout, 'I'm about to take off!'
In his previous life, Lu Chen was the last patriarch of the Burial Love Family in the 21st century on Blue Star. During a dance battle with the Trendy Male Clan, he was ambushed, and the quicklime was replaced with chili powder. He died of a respiratory infection. As a Dance Emperor, it was truly despicable!
Both his body and soul were brought to this world by the system and then forcefully bound and revived by this damn system, but his cultivation was now taken back.
Even more outrageous was that now, this damn system directly forced him into a situation, creating an entire Sect for him.
If he hadn't been so good at bluffing, that kid probably would have left long ago!
"Sect Master, is our Kunlun Sect on the mountain peak?" Lin Yun looked towards the heavenly stairs leading to the mountain peak and couldn't help but ask.
"Exactly. Come, follow me into the Sect!"
...
Lu Chen stood with his hands behind his back, speaking faintly.
Then he turned and walked gracefully up the heavenly stairs. Seeing this, Lin Yun quickly scurried to follow.
Inside the Sect.
Lin Yun's eyes widened as he looked at the ancient, magnificent pavilions towering into the clouds before him. His heart was greatly shaken. The Sect Master truly didn't deceive him!
"I always feel like something is missing, even though it's incredibly grand!" Lin Yun wondered.
"But... there's no, no one here!" Lin Yun suddenly exclaimed.
...
Main Hall of the Sect.
"System, quick, use the cultivation card!"
Lu Chen rubbed his hands excitedly on the spot, speaking quickly.
"[Ding, cultivation card used successfully. Congratulations to the host for gaining a thousand years of cultivation!]"
As soon as the system's voice in his mind fell.
A powerful force suddenly appeared within Lu Chen's body. This force instantly filled Lu Chen's entire body, flowing from bottom to top through his five meridians and eight channels, opening the five great divine hidden realms of the human body.
"Holy crap!"
"So exhilarating..."
Lu Chen couldn't help but let out a loud cry.
Suddenly, Lu Chen felt the power within him surge dramatically. A Dao Palace appeared behind him, with runes circulating on it, exuding an ancient aura. A phantom figure that looked exactly like Lu Chen sat within the Dao Palace.
Immediately after.
The phantom of the Dao Palace behind him gradually merged into Lu Chen's body, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Nascent Divinity Realm!"
Lu Chen sensed the powerful energy within his body, and his face lit up with joy.
Although he hadn't experienced Immortal King cultivation before it was taken back by the system, at least he now had some cultivation!
"Nascent Divinity Realm, now I have the ability to protect myself."
A glimmer of light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.
Based on the information the system gave him, he also knew that this world was called the Immortal Martial Continent, vast and boundless, where the strong were revered, and countless sects and dynasties stood tall. There were even mighty beings who could move mountains and fill seas, split the sky and crack the earth, wielding immense power with a mere wave of their hand!
The cultivation realms on the Immortal Martial Continent are: Body Forging, Qi Gathering, Spirit Meridian, Spirit Sea, Divine Hidden, Dao Palace, Nascent Divinity, Void Comprehension, Heavenly King, Saint, Great Saint, Divine King, Quasi-Emperor, Great Emperor!
The Immortal Martial Continent has six major regions. Lu Chen is currently in Qingzhou of the Southern Wilderness Region, within the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the forbidden land of the Burial Immortal Mountain Range.
"Sect Master, Sect Master! Grand... but... no one!"
As Lu Chen was lost in thought, a loud cry came from outside the Main Hall.
He looked up to see Lin Yun scrambling and tumbling in.
"Lin Yun, what's wrong! Being so flustered in the Sect's Main Hall disgraces my Kunlun!" Lu Chen said sternly to Lin Yun. Could this kid have seen a ghost?
"Sect Master, w-why can't I see anyone else in the Sect!"
Lin Yun felt very uneasy at this moment. Logically, such a large Sect couldn't possibly have no one, not even a dog!
What about the promised experts to teach him cultivation?
