Morning sunlight spilled into Dustwind Hidden Valley Sect.
Birds chirped.
Wind danced through trees.
The cabbage fields sparkled.
And the entire sect tiptoed around quietly…
Because one extremely powerful, extremely sleepy girl was still in bed.
The bed was brand-new—built overnight by disciples who worked like their lives depended on it.
(The truth: they absolutely believed their lives depended on it.)
The floor gleamed like polished jade.
The walls had been scrubbed until the wood begged for mercy.
Gu Wenhai, Lin Ruyin, and Jin Haru watched Miyu sleep like anxious parents guarding a nuclear bomb that dreams.
Lin Ruyin whispered, "Should we wake her?"
Jin Haru snapped, horrified, "ARE YOU CRAZY?! Remember what happened with the CABBBAGE LEAF?!"
Gu Wenhai shuddered so hard his spine cracked.
"Never again… she might accidentally purify the entire mountain…"
They nodded in perfect agreement:
❌ Do NOT wake the Ancestor.
❌ Do NOT touch the Ancestor.
❌ Do NOT even THINK loudly near the Ancestor.
Let her sleep.
Let her exist.
Let them live.
Miyu shifted.
They froze.
Her nose twitched.
Her eyes fluttered.
She sat up, hair fluffy, pajamas wrinkled, hugging her pillow.
"…Hungry."
Gu Wenhai shot up like a man struck by lightning.
"F-Food! NOW! CLEAN FOOD!!!"
Jin Haru sprinted so fast he formed an afterimage.
Lin Ruyin bowed so deep her forehead squeaked against the floor.
"A-Ancestor, we will prepare the purest meal!"
Miyu rubbed her eyes, glanced around—
"…Nice."
All three disciples nearly burst into tears.
She praised the room.
They were blessed.
The sect survived another morning.
Jin Haru returned with a tray of washed rice, steamed vegetables, and clear broth—boiled with holy-level caution.
He knelt and offered it with trembling pride.
"A-Ancestor, your meal—!"
Miyu sniffed it.
"…Warm."
She took a bite.
The entire sect inhaled.
Then she nodded once.
"…Good."
Jin Haru fainted with a scream:
"THE ANCESTOR COMPLIMENTED ME—MY SOUL IS ASCENDING—!!"
Gu Wenhai covered his tearful face.
"The heavens truly shine on us…"
--------------------------------------
✨ THE OLD MANUAL OF SHAME
--------------------------------------
After eating, Miyu's gaze drifted to a dusty old book sitting on a shelf.
"...What's this?"
Gu Wenhai raced forward like a man trying to prevent a world-ending explosion.
"A-AH! Ancestor, that is our humble sect manual—please do not be offended—!"
Miyu picked it up.
Her expression twisted.
"…Dirty."
The disciples went pale.
Jin Haru whispered, "Brace yourselves…"
Lin Ruyin gulped, "If she activates Clean Freak Mode indoors… we die."
But Miyu simply turned a page.
"…Weak."
Gu Wenhai bowed, head trembling.
"Y-Yes… it is outdated and pathetic…"
He continued apologizing, but Miyu wasn't listening.
Because the System chimed.
> [DETECTED: LOW-LEVEL CULTIVATION TEXT]
> [ACTIVATING CREATION SKILL]
Miyu blinked at the book.
"…Solar Heart… Breathing…"
A breathing technique she once saw in a manga floated into her mind.
She inhaled slowly.
She exhaled softly.
Golden light ignited in her eyes.
Wind roared through the room.
The bed rattled.
Loose papers whirled into the air like panicked butterflies.
Lin Ruyin screamed, "SHE'S CALLING THE HEAVENS!!"
Jin Haru wailed, "HER EYES ARE GLOWING—WE'RE NOT READY FOR THIS—!!"
Gu Wenhai fell to his knees.
"A divine revelation…! The Ancestor is rewriting martial history!!"
The book burst with golden light.
Pages rewrote themselves.
Symbols evolved.
Power radiated.
Then—
> ✦ CELESTIAL SOLAR HEART MANUAL ✦
> Rank: SUPREME GOD-TIER
> Effect: Purifies qi, strengthens body, increases comprehension, and triggers explosive growth.
The book floated gently into Miyu's hands.
She blinked at it.
"…Better."
Then she casually tossed it onto the bed.
The sect SHRIEKED.
"NOOOOOO DON'T THROW A GOD-TIER MANUAL—!!"
Gu Wenhai flew like a desperate eagle and caught it mid-air.
He clutched it like a newborn child.
"T-This manual… this can rebuild our entire sect!! It's divine beyond divine!!!"
Jin Haru sobbed.
"OUR SECT… IS SAVED!!!"
Even the walls shook in joy.
--------------------------------------
✨ TESTING THE MANUAL
--------------------------------------
Lin Ruyin opened the manual with trembling hands.
"T-This aura… I feel like I'm looking directly at the sun…"
Jin Haru nodded violently, "I feel my bones learning things they shouldn't!!"
Gu Wenhai wiped tears.
"We must… try it…"
They sat in lotus position.
Inhale—
Exhale—
BOOOOOOM!!!
A pillar of golden light shot into the sky.
Clouds spun away.
Birds fainted mid-flight.
Trees glowed for no reason.
Lin Ruyin broke through *two stages*.
Jin Haru burst into fiery aura like a small human torch.
Gu Wenhai felt younger, stronger—he even regained an old meridian he thought was dead.
He sobbed.
"What… what is this manual?! It's beyond divine!!"
Miyu nodded.
"I saw it… in a manga."
The sect froze.
"…What?"
"I just copied from manga."
Silence.
The kind that rewrites destinies.
Then—
Jin Haru grabbed Lin Ruyin by the shoulders.
"WE MUST FIND EVERY MANGA IN EXISTENCE—RIGHT NOW!!"
Lin Ruyin nodded violently, "SEARCH THE ENTIRE CONTINENT!!"
Gu Wenhai shouted, "FROM THIS DAY FORWARD—MANGA IS SACRED TEXT!!!"
The three disciples sprinted out of the room like fanatics on pilgrimage.
Miyu stared blankly after them.
"…Noisy."
She curled up with her pillow.
"Nap time."
--------------------------------------
✨ THE DIRTY BROOM'S LAST DAY
--------------------------------------
Left alone, Miyu's eyes landed on something in the corner.
A broom.
Dusty.
Sad.
Frayed.
An insult to cleanliness.
"…Dirty."
The System blared urgently.
> [ITEM DETECTED: TRAGIC-LEVEL BROOM]
> [HOST DISGUST LEVEL: EXTREME]
> [UPGRADE SKILL ACTIVATED]
FLASH—!!!
The broom transformed into a golden staff engraved with solar runes.
Bristles glowed like miniature suns.
A divine aura surged through the valley.
> ✦ DIVINE SUN-CLEANSING STAFF ✦
> Rank: GOD-TIER
> Effect: Purifies evil, destroys impurities, obliterates filth, and terrifies disciples.
Miyu blinked.
"…Pretty."
She tapped the floor lightly.
BOOOOOOM!!!!
A shockwave tore through the sect.
Tiles gleamed.
Walls sparkled.
Air purified.
Even the insects bowed.
Outside—
"ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE?!"
"THE ANCESTOR IS CLEANING SOMETHING—RUN!!"
"DUCK AND COVER—THE FLOOR IS TOO SHINY—!!"
Lin Ruyin fainted again.
Jin Haru ran in confused circles.
Gu Wenhai hugged a cabbage and prayed.
Meanwhile, Miyu admired her divine broom.
"…Good."
She tucked herself back into bed, hugged her pillow, and smiled softly.
"…Clean…"
The mountain trembled as her aura settled.
The golden age of Dustwind Hidden Valley Sect
began with one small girl
and her hatred of dirty brooms.
