Scene start from, Shaurya sees the system notification.
> System: Congratulations Host for getting your first elder in your sect!
Reward: 100 Sky-level Weapons
System: Congratulations Host for inviting an ancient master's remaining soul into your sect!
Reward: A Spiritual Body suitable for his soul.
Shaurya is amazed by this.
Shaurya: "Wow System! You are generous while giving rewards. But this time... it's really fantastic."
System: "It's my duty, Host."
Shaurya turns to Luo Chen.
Shaurya: "Hey, if you don't mind, can you give me your ring? I have something to do."
Luo Chen is shocked. He exchanges glances with the old spirit. The old spirit nods, so Luo Chen gives the ring to Shaurya.
Luo Chen: "Sect Master, here it is."
Shaurya takes the ring and looks at the old spirit.
Shaurya: "Hey old man, or I should say Elder Wu, if you promise to become loyal to my sect, then I will help you gain not only your full power but your body as well."
The old spirit is shocked hearing this.
Elder Wu: "Sect Master, is this true? If yes, then I, Old Wu, take the Oath of Heaven to become loyal to your sect till my last breath!"
Shaurya smiles.
Shaurya: "Okay then. Get ready."
Elder Wu raises an eyebrow in confusion.
Wu: "Ready for what?"
Suddenly, Shaurya throws the ring into the sky. And Said Loudly
Shaurya: "Resurrection!"
A bright light appears from the ring, covering the whole area and the sky. A golden thunder strikes the ring, followed by an energy burst. When the light fades, a golden figure descends from the sky. It's an old man with long white hair, a muscular appearance, a white beard, and red, diamond-like eyes. Everyone is shocked.
The Elder sees his body and is in disbelief—it's his original appearance before becoming a spirit. Though his power hasn't recovered, he now has a physical body.
Shaurya steps forward, pats his shoulder.
Shaurya: "Welcome to the sect, Elder Wu."
With tears in his eyes, Wu bows.
Wu: "Thank you very much, Sect Master. From now on, I, Wuo, will be loyal to your sect till my last breath."
Shaurya stops his bow midway.
Shaurya: "Elder Wu, what are you doing? You're older than me. Even if I am Sect Leader, it's against my principles."
Elder Wu is amazed.
Luo Chen steps forward, happy for his master. Elder Wu turns to him, grabs him with joy.
Wu: "You little brat! Now get ready—your real training begins here!"
Shaurya adds:
Shaurya: "Elder Wu, from now on, you will train and guide every disciple—except Wang Tian. If he wants to, he can join. Otherwise, everyone else must train under you."
Wang Tian is shocked. So is Elder Wu.
Wang Tian: "Sect Master, what do you mean?"
Shaurya: "Why are you so shocked? I know you don't want any master. I know everything about you."
Wang Tian: "What are you talking, Master? I don't understand."
Shaurya: "Oh come on, Wang Tian. Or should I say... Ghost Emperor?"
The moment the words leave Shaurya's mouth, everyone is shocked—especially Wang Tian and Elder Wu.
Wang Tian: "How do you know?!"
Elder Wu: "Sect Master, what do you mean by this... Ghost Emperor? How could this kid be the Ghost Emperor?"
He observes Wang Tian closely and finally senses it—Ghost Emperor's aura. He takes a step back in shock.
Elder Wu: "Ghost... Ghost Emperor! It's really you!"
Wang Tian, now calm, smiles.
Wang Tian: "So you know about me."
A terrifying aura is released from him, shaking Elder Wu.
Shaurya (playfully): "Oh come on Mr. Emperor, control your aura."
Wang Tian restrains his power. Elder Wu remains frightened, others are confused.
Luo Chen: "Master, what's going on? Who is the Ghost Emperor?"
Elder Wu: "The Ghost Emperor was a terrifying and prominent figure in ancient times. When I was young, he was already a world-famous powerhouse. But after a while, he disappeared. Some say he died, others say he ascended... no one knows the truth."
Wang Tian: "Nonsense. Back then, only a few people were at my level. And that Level no one can asecends?"
Shaurya: "So tell your story."
System (to Shaurya): "A real one, right Host?"
Shaurya chuckles awkwardly.
Wang Tian: "Fine. This guy already spilled the beans. I'll reveal the mystery of my death. It wasn't some Immortal World person. It was... my own brother."
Everyone is shocked.
Wang Tian: "He was jealous. I was too powerful; he could never become famous. I loved him deeply, but he betrayed me. He lured me with a fake message that his life was in danger. I rushed to help, only to be trapped in three powerful formations. Then he used a poison sword and pierced my heart. I couldn't do anything... only seal my soul into a deep sleep. After 5000 years, I recreated my body and awakened 12 years ago."
Everyone listens with sorrow. Xiao Rui, Xiao Lian, and even Shaurya cry. Muo Qian also shows a sorrowful expression. Other disciples cry too.
Wang Tian sees them and turns away slightly, a tear in his eye.
Shaurya consoles him. The disciples follow. Muo Qian hugs him. Wang Tian blushes, his face completely red.
Shaurya and Xiao Rui whistle teasingly.
Muo Qian blushes, turns away, and leaves. Wang Tian glares at Shaurya and Xiao Rui.
Shaurya (smiling): "Weather's nice, isn't it, Rui?"
Xiao Rui: "Yes, Master."
Everyone laughs.
> System Notification: "Scenes are very good, Host. But remember—you have a task of recruiting 100 disciples. 22 hours left."
Shaurya: "Yes, yes, System, I know."
He stretches and whispers:
Shaurya: "I just need 2 more disciples. Okay then."
He hands the techniques (except the Immortal-level one) to Xiao Rui.
Shaurya: "Distribute these to the disciples."
Xiao Rui: "Understood."
Then Luo Chen comes for Xiao Rui's help . Xiao Rui and Luo Chen start distributing techniques.
Luo Chen: "Senior, these techniques are amazing!"
Xiao Rui: "Yes, Master always does amazing things."
Three hours pass.
Shaurya speaks:
Shaurya: "Build."
Rewards begin constructing:
Gravitation Training Chamber
A luxurious kitchen
Alchemy Hall
A full training ground
Shaurya watches joyfully. Everyone is amazed, but they're getting used to these surprises.
Shaurya gathers the disciples and explains the facilities. Later, he lies on a chair, eating grapes, watching the training ground.
Facing each other: Luo Chen and Wang Tian.
Elder Wuo (referee): "Begin!"
A full martial arts battle begins—punches, kicks, powerful attacks, Spritual Attacks. They're evenly matched.
After 30 minutes—
Wang Tian: "Let's end this."
Luo Chen: nods
Luo Chen: "Bizarre Fist!"
Wang Tian: "Dragon Fist!"
Their attacks collide. Huge explosion.
Shaurya watches in awe.
The dust clears. Wang Tian wins. He helps Luo Chen up.
Wang Tian: "You did great."
Luo Chen: "Thank you, Senior."
Shaurya claps.
Shaurya: "Wow, that was amazing."
Both thank him.
Suddenly, two guards arrive with a messenger.
Messenger: "Sect Leader, by the order of the City Lord, we invite your sect to participate in the 50 Cities Disciple Competition, to be held in our city this year."
> System Notification: Sect Mission: Take 3 disciples to the competition and win.
Reward:
1. Host Level Up
2. Spiritual Cannon Gun (a gun with a power like a cannon— weapon fueled by spiritual energy)
Shaurya smiles.
Shaurya: "Thank you for this opportunity. We will participate—and win."
Messenger: "Thank you. We wish you luck."
Shaurya: "How many disciples can participate?"
Messenger: "Three disciples."
Shaurya: "Understood."
The messenger bows and leaves.
Shaurya turns to his disciples.
Shaurya: "So, I have to choose three disciples. Which three should I choose?"
