Chapter 001: Sect System Binding, Emperor Cultivation Compensation at the Start

The Primordial Continent!

The Wild Zone in the Eastern Region!

Misty Sect!

At the gravesite!

A raggedly dressed man sat on the ground, filled with extraordinary sorrow, his voice hysterical.

"Master, it has been ten years since you departed. Do you know how I have managed to survive these ten years? If I hadn't believed your far-fetched tales back then, I wouldn't have agreed to cultivate under you. You really tricked me badly!!"

Sitting on the ground, Chen Xuan screamed aloud, his face wet with the mix of tears and nasal mucus, completely lacking the image that a cultivator should have!

A decade ago, he was a model young man who screwed bolts in a factory, living a simple routine life.

Although he was an orphan, without relatives or connections, his heart radiated sunshine, always moving towards brightness.

Following his plan, he intended to save up some money by working for ten years, then open a breakfast shop at the factory gate, settle down with a girlfriend, have two children, and lead a peaceful life.

But who could have foresaw that one night, the factory experienced a sudden power outage. He was tasked with shutting off the assembly line's circuit breaker, but accidentally pulled the circuit breaker's wire.

Then, a flash of white light, and power returned in the factory.

But he felt dizzy, and found himself in a mysterious place called the Primordial Continent!

Yes, the Primordial Continent, the world beneath his feet!

When he first arrived on the Wild Ancient Continent, he heard that this was a world of cultivation, where the greater the talent, the higher the achievement in cultivation!

However, this place was also a perilous world, teeming with cultivators, demon races, and ferocious beasts everywhere.

He had once witnessed a powerful being from the demon race transforming into its original form, shrouding the sun and the sky, bigger than a mountain, swallowing a city's population with a single gulp!

He had also seen a human powerhouse, slicing a monstrous beast in half with one sword strike!

He even witnessed a scene of thousands of cultivators soaring in the sky together, which filled him with yearning for this world!

After all, by normal standards, as someone who had traversed realms, he was supposed to be a chosen child of destiny. The future seemed bound to be filled with powerful figures scrambling to take him in as a disciple, him beating all opponents, queens and princesses vying to profess their love for him, and a lavish life awaits!

But reality was completely contrary to his expectations.

The Wild Ancient Continent was so expansive that he, a mere commoner, couldn't traverse very far, let alone leave the Wild Province, he couldn't even exit a small corner of it!

Later, in order to practice cultivation and against all odds he had to take high-interest loans to purchase the most basic cultivation methods. He didn't know whether he had been deceived or what, but there seemed to be no sign of improvement even after practicing for several months!

In the end, he lost all his high-interest loans, and was chased by loan sharks, forcing him to flee in the middle of the night, becoming a vagabond!

Later, while wandering, he heard about a disciple recruitment event in a certain place. He thought his opportunity had come again, so he braved all dangers to go and register. However, no sect was willing to accept him, completely shattering his protagonist dream!

Leaving the disciple recruitment event, he became a vagabond once again. Later, when he was once again at the brink, he finally met an old man with immortal wind and bone, a true cultivator- his master, the person now lying peacefully before his eyes in the graveyard!

Back then, the old man gave him a medicinal pill to consume, which instantly made him, who was fatigued and exhausted, vibrant and energetic. He then thought that he had finally met an insightful senior!

Then, with anticipation, the old man, with a kind and loving face, pronounced those classic words!

"Young man, this old man sees you have clear eyes and white teeth, with a beauty like crowning jade, a charm as commanding as a tall tree facing the wind, and an extraordinary and uncommon gift. You truly are a demon-level genius that is hard to come by! Although your talent is obscured now, as long as you have a good teacher, it won't take long for you to sweep off the dust and shine brightly, outshining the mountains and rivers!"

"I am the one hundred and seventh generation sect master of the Piaomiao Sect, do you wish to take me as your master? From then on, achieve glory and save the world.”

Upon hearing the words of the elderly man and gazing into his charismatic eyes, did Chen Xuan need to think about it?

Absolutely not!

He had been begging all the way, roughing it, almost dying, and now finally met a powerful person who could recognize his potential. Being praised so much made him feel incredibly ecstatic, if he didn't agree, he would be going against the heavens!

And so, without hesitation, he knelt down and accepted the elderly man as his master!

However, he never expected that the days after becoming a disciple would be the beginning of a nightmare!

After becoming a disciple, he realized that the old man was seriously injured, had limited lifespan, and could not fly. He could only walk back to the sect with him!

Along the way, the older man got weaker and weaker, and Chen Xuan served him, pouring tea and water for him!

He was even more attentive than when he was serving his girlfriend!

In this way, it took the two of them half a year to finally reach the gate of the Luan Ancient Mountain, at the bottom of the sect!

And at this moment, his master couldn't hold on and passed away.

Before his death, he didn't forget to pass on the position of Piaomiao Sect Master to Chen Xuan.

This allowed him to become the one hundred and eighth generation sect master of the Piaomiao Sect!

"Just became a disciple and the master is gone, is this fate pushing me to the peak of the sect?"

Thinking this way, Chen Xuan was ecstatic, carrying his master's body up the mountain! But when he reached the sect, he was completely shocked!

What magnificent sect lay before him?

All he saw was a heap of ruins and rubble!

What nonsense about a peak period with tens of thousands of disciples and numerous powerful individuals within the sect. Those were all lies.

At this point, throughout the entire sect, aside from some standing buildings, not even a shadow could be seen!

Seeing this scene, Chen Xuan burst into tears on the spot!

What damn chosen son of destiny, what sect master!! This was a bloody life-threatening trap!

The Chaotic Ancient Mountain Range, how could an ordinary man like him venture out?

Helpless! Chen Xuan could only settle at the mountain gate and began a life of seclusion.

However, what further exacerbated Chen Xuan's despair was that he took the legacy left by his master to cultivate, but it remained ineffective!! Multiple times, he doubted if the cultivation method was fake!!

But even if it were fake, there was no choice since the Chaotic Ancient Mountain Range was rampant with fierce beasts, an ordinary man like him simply could not venture out!

Days went by, one after another!

Ten years in the mountains felt like a single day!

Slowly and gradually, ten years passed!

One early morning, Chen Xuan woke up from his cultivation, realizing the existence of spiritual energy and thus, stepping into the first state of cultivation, Qi-Training State!

For a moment, Chen Xuan was overcome with emotions and started crying again, rushing to the tombstone to rant and grumble at his master!

"Master! You sure know how to bluff! Practicing qi for ten years and only reaching the first level, even a dog might have better talent than me! Yet, you said I have celestial talent and assigned me to save all creatures in the world!! Isn’t it just because you don’t want the Piaomiao Sect to lose its lineage? Would it kill you not to deceive me like this?!! Now you can rest, as your disciple, I am truly in despair!!”

Chen Xuan became more agitated as he spoke!

However, at this moment, his stomach growled, forcibly stopping his complaints!

Wiping the tears from the corner of his eyes, he stumbled to his feet, thinking it’s better to have a meal first, and then continue to rant!

After all, time doesn't pass in the mountains, there’s plenty of time to use!

But just as he got up, a sudden ethereal voice echoed in his mind!

"Ding! A fifteen-year-long charging period has ended; congratulations to the host for successfully binding the strongest sect system in all realms!"

Boom!

As the voice sounded, Chen Xuan's body shook, and he was flabbergasted.

"A system, damn, there really is a system!! That’s great, when did you come, system, you really made me wait a long time!”

Chen Xuan was extremely excited at that moment!

If the system hadn't shown up, he had planned to eke out a living in the mountains for the rest of his life!!

He never thought that there would really be a system!

Indeed, novels did not lie to me!!

Overwhelmed with excitement, the system immediately answered Chen Xuan's question.

"Ding! The system was existing before the host had transmigrated, it's only that a slight accident occurred during the transmigration, which caused the host to wait for so long. My apologies!"

"It was there before the transmigration?"

Suddenly, Chen Xuan froze, becoming completely dumbstruck!

So, it had already existed fifteen years ago!

Damn it!

Only appearing now!

Thinking about these past fifteen years, a wave of emotions surged in Chen Xuan's heart, and he cried out emotionally, "Fifteen years, fifteen whole years! Do you know what I've been through in these fifteen years?"

"Ding! My deepest apologies! The system will compensate the host!" The system's voice was filled with remorse.

"Compensation?"

Chen Xuan was startled and immediately stopped crying. His eyes shifted, and he asked, "What compensation! Let me warn you, if the compensation is not good enough, I don't want it!"

"Compensating the host with an Emperor's cultivation base, is that acceptable?"

After a pause, the system asked tentatively.

Upon hearing these words, Chen Xuan's eyes immediately widened!

Emperor's cultivation base?

Did the system misspeak, or did he hear wrong?

"This is the peak realm of the Primordial Continent!"

Chen Xuan incredulously said, "What did you say?"

"Compensating the host with Emperor-level cultivation and an additional Supreme Weapon - the Emperor’s Sword, is that acceptable? This is the maximum compensation the system can provide~~"

The system thought its compensation might not be satisfactory and therefore, added one more weapon!

Hearing this, Chen Xuan completely lost it!

Fifteen years in exchange for Emperor-level cultivation and a Supreme Weapon!

Worth it!

Extremely worth it!

So he immediately nodded, eagerly like a chick pecking at grains, "Yes, yes, absolutely yes!! Quickly, receive the compensation!"
