Hum!
In the Kunlun Southern Region, at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, atop a mountain peak.
Majestic True Yuan rolled out, causing heaven and earth to tremble along with it!
In the center of the True Yuan fluctuations, starlight twinkled in Li Cheng’s eyes, “Transcendance Tribulation Stage, complete!”
“Anytime now I can trigger the Heaven Tribulation and cross through it. It won’t be long before I ascend to the Immortal World, becoming the first person to ascend in a myriad of years!”
A smile hung on Li Cheng’s handsome face.
He was not from this world. Ten years ago, he transmigrated to this Cultivation World and became the youngest Elder in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!
“To face tribulation with my own body, to break through the Dao and become an immortal is right before my eyes!”
“This transmigration is not a loss; starting at the Fusion Dao stage, and becoming an immortal in just ten years!”
Li Cheng stood up, reining in the True Yuan fluctuations. In the next few days, he would adjust his state and then face the tribulation!
[Host meets the requirements, System Activation in progress!]
Hearing the prompt in his mind, Li Cheng scoffed, “I’m about to become an immortal, and you activate now?”
About to become an immortal, do I still need the system?
Right after transmigrating, Li Cheng knew about the system’s existence, but it always indicated that the requirements were not met, so he couldn’t activate it.
Upon further thought, if reaching the Transcendance Tribulation Stage complete was the requirement for activation, then this system must be no simple matter, right?
“What kind of system could it be?” Li Cheng became interested in this system.
[Activation complete, Infinite Epiphanies from Teaching System loaded!]
[This system is dedicated to assisting the host in becoming an unparalleled and powerful predecessor!]
[System Introduction: After teaching disciples, the system grants Enlightenment chances based on the gains of the disciples. The greater the disciples’ gains, the more Enlightenment chances granted.]
[Remaining Enlightenment chances: 0 times.]
Listening to the prompt, a hint of peculiarity flashed in Li Cheng’s stellar eyes, rewards for Enlightenment?
Enlightenment was the greatest fortune for a cultivator, something that was elusive and could not be sought. Not to mention that Li Cheng had never experienced Enlightenment in ten years, even the Heavenly Mechanism Sect hadn’t had anyone achieve Enlightenment in nearly ten thousand years.
To directly reward Enlightenment, how monstrously powerful would that be?
“If that’s the case, I need to postpone crossing the tribulation for some time to try out this system,” Li Cheng thought to himself as he rubbed his chin.
“Isn’t it just teaching disciples? In a few days, it will be the day when the Inner Gate recruits disciples. I’ll take a few disciples then and try it out!”
The Heavenly Mechanism Sect was one of the top ten sects in the Kunlun Southern Domain, with disciples numbering in the millions. When Li Cheng first arrived, he was astounded by this fact.
But he soon discovered that while there were many disciples, almost all of them were Outer Door Disciples, the kind that just made up the numbers.
The core power of the sect lay within the Inner Gate!
And the Inner Sect Disciples numbered less than ten thousand!
Li Cheng was one of the Inner Gate Elders, in charge of the Eighteenth Peak, with a status second only to the Sect Master, but a generation senior to the Sect Master.
However, Li Cheng had been focused on cultivating and had never taken on disciples, which led to a rather serious issue—he had no subordinates at all!
That’s right!
The Eighteenth Peak that Li Cheng was in charge of did not have a single disciple!
Just then, a group of more than ten people arrived through the air.
Li Cheng stood still, quietly waiting for them.
Shortly after, the group of more than ten landed a few Zhang away from Li Cheng, all with hands clasped in salute, “Greetings, Junior Uncle!”
Li Cheng nodded slightly in response as a greeting, and said, “Elders, are you here to persuade me to take disciples again?”
This was not the first time. Every time Li Cheng left seclusion, they would come to urge him.
But Li Cheng had always refused under the pretext of needing to focus on his cultivation in seclusion.
“No, no, no, we sensed that Junior Uncle’s cultivation has made another breakthrough, and you are about to cross the tribulation and ascend. We have come to offer our congratulations!”
“That’s right, congratulations, Junior Uncle! You are going to be the first to ascend from our sect in ten thousand years!”
Li Cheng could see that all the Elders were genuinely happy.
That was normal since the Heavenly Mechanism Sect hadn’t had anyone ascend for ten thousand years, which had led to its decline from the head of the top ten sects to the tail.
“`
No one else ascended, and it seemed the positions of the top ten sects were no longer secure.
Looking at the excited crowd, Li Cheng shook his head and smiled, “There’s no rush to ascend through the Tribulation Crossing. I want to take on disciples first, otherwise the lineage of the Eighteenth Peak will be broken!”
Huh?
What was he doing?
Over the years, they had urged him many times, but Li Cheng had always refused.
Now that his ascension was imminent, why did he suddenly want to take on disciples?
Something wasn’t right!
Everyone was counting on Li Cheng’s ascension to bring benefits to their sect!
After all, when someone ascended, the Immortal Spirit Qi would spill over, bringing great benefits to the sect!
Moreover, if someone ascended, it could greatly influence the Kunlun Southern Region and attract more geniuses to join the sect.
Before coming here, they had all envisioned the sect returning to its glory from ten thousand years ago, but at this moment, Li Cheng was saying he would not ascend for the time being?
“Little uncle, please ascend with peace of mind. Once you ascend, other elders will take charge of the Eighteenth Peak, and the lineage won’t break,” a middle-aged man flew over and landed in front of Li Cheng, saying with a smile.
“Sect Master!”
Seeing the newcomer, everyone promptly paid their respects.
The Sect Master waved his hand and then said, “Little uncle, your talent is unparalleled. In just thirty years, you have walked the path that takes ordinary cultivators a thousand years. Your stage should be in the Immortal World!”
“Indeed, little uncle, for ten thousand years, our sect has lost contact with the Immortal World. It must be that the sect encountered disaster there, and only you can save us!”
Li Cheng looked over the crowd silently, “I have made up my mind. I still want to take on a few disciples first!”
The crowd wanted to persuade him further, but the Sect Master secretly gestured for them to be quiet and said with a laugh, “All right then. What kind of disciples does little uncle want? There’s no need to wait for the sect recruitment. We’ll personally go and select them for you.”
Li Cheng’s eyes lit up—this was great!
“Very simple. High talent, high comprehension, tenacious character, firm will, and preferably possessing a special physique!”
The muscles on everyone’s faces twitched slightly. All these requirements and he thought it was simple?
“We have one!” the Sect Master immediately said. “Little uncle, wait a moment, we’ll go and bring him to you right away.”
Having said that, everyone hurriedly followed the Sect Master as he left.
Li Cheng was delighted. The greater the disciple’s achievements, the more Enlightenment chances he would be rewarded. Naturally, he had to select some monstrous talents.
Such disciples could take one pointer and understand many, make great advancements in their cultivation, and were easier to teach while granting him more rewards!
The Sect Master had already led everyone towards the Outer Door.
“Sect Master, why are we going to the Outer Door? Can the talent of Outer Door disciples really compare with those of the Inner Gate?” asked an elder, puzzled.
The Sect Master waved his hand, “We need to find those with poor talent, the worst kind!”
“Sect Master, what do you mean by this?”
“Think about it. If we really find monstrous disciples for little uncle, he will certainly be eager to nurture them and won’t want to ascend.”
“So we pick those with lesser talent, let little uncle teach them for a few days until he loses interest, and then, won’t he ascend?”
Listening to the Sect Master’s words, the elders understood.
That’s it!
The Sect Master was wise!
An elder’s eyes sparkled, “If that’s the case, I have an excellent candidate in mind!”
“First Elder, you’re not talking about that Outer Door disciple who was discarded yesterday, are you?”
For a moment, the expressions of all the elders grew strange.
The Sect Master looked doubtful, “Who is this person you speak of? It seems like you all know.”
The First Elder cleared his throat, “Sect Master, among the ninety-nine peaks of the Outer Door, there’s a disciple who joined at the age of eight, spent ten years in the Body Refinement Realm, just stepped into the Qi Cultivation Realm last month, and yesterday, he botched his own training, falling back to the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm.”
The Sect Master frowned slightly, “Ten years in the Body Refinement Realm? How did someone with such talent get into the sect in the first place? Who reviewed his admission?”
“We’ve checked. He passed all the tests with no issues. It’s just strange!”
The Sect Master shook his head, “Well then, he’s the most suitable candidate. First Elder, take the person to little uncle, and remember to praise him as if he is a monstrous talent!”
