The golden-tinted skies of the Cultivation World seemed to glow brighter as Chen Fei stood before the kneeling Supreme Elder, Long Tian. Waves of awe surged through him—not from fear, but from the sheer gravity of what had just occurred.
He wasn't dreaming.
A divine system. A real summon. A warrior capable of destroying kingdoms knelt at his feet.
[New Mission: Establish Your Sect Grounds – Reward: Sect Formation Array + Defensive Shield Core.]
Chen Fei's thoughts raced. "Where do I begin?" he muttered.
Long Tian raised his head slowly. "Master, allow me to guide you. The Dragon Sect once existed atop Mount Azurefall. We can reclaim its ruins."
"Mount Azurefall... let's go."
The journey took hours. They passed through beasts-infested forests and desolate mountain passes. Yet none dared block their path—Long Tian's mere presence radiated an oppressive pressure that made the wild beasts cower or flee.
When they arrived at the summit of Mount Azurefall, Chen Fei stood speechless.
Ancient stones etched with dragon sigils lay half-buried in moss. A shattered gate with the word "龍" (Dragon) hung from one hinge. Broken pillars stood like forgotten sentinels.
"Is this... all that's left?"
Long Tian nodded. "Ten thousand years ago, the Dragon Sect ruled the skies. Betrayal and war wiped us from the world's memory. But with you, we shall return."
[Do you wish to activate the Dragon Sect Formation?]
[Requirement met: Supreme Elder present.]
[Activation complete.]
A surge of golden light exploded from the earth. The cracked tiles reformed, the gates reconstructed, and a glowing emblem of a divine dragon soared into the sky.
Chen Fei's jaw dropped. Before him now stood a vast sect fortress, surrounded by protective arrays.
[Dragon Sect HQ Restored. You are now the Official Sect Master.]
[You have received: 5x Recruitment Scrolls, 1x Elder Summoning Scroll, 1x Sect Master Robes.]
The robes appeared in his hands—black with gold trimming, bearing the emblem of a roaring dragon.
He put them on.
And in that moment, Chen Fei no longer felt like a lost student. He felt like a ruler.
Nightfall came. The Sect lit with spiritual lanterns, glowing like stars. Chen Fei sat in the Sect Master's Hall, scrolling through the system interface.
[Use Elder Summoning Scroll?]
"Yes."
Another light burst erupted, and from it emerged a tall woman clad in silver armor, eyes burning like starlight.
"I greet the Sect Master," she said, bowing. "I am Xue Lian, Second Elder of the Dragon Sect, commander of the Ice Phoenix Battalion."
"Another Elder?" Chen Fei blinked.
[Each Elder will command 1,000 elite cultivators once recruited. Total Elders Remaining: 11.]
Xue Lian turned to Long Tian and bowed. "Supreme Elder, I live again."
Long Tian smiled faintly. "We rise once more."
Chen Fei rose to his feet. "From today, the Dragon Sect returns. We will shake the world."
Far away, across the continent, tremors spread from the activation of the ancient formation. Sects and kingdoms paused. Old monsters in hiding opened their eyes.
"The Dragon Sect... has awakened?"
Whispers echoed across the lands.
The legend had begun again.
