1: Bending the Knee for Five Pecks of Rice? Signing in a Dou Di Old Ancestor!
"A lonely soul in dire straits wanders with wine, my heart broken, yet my steps light."
"Ten years of dreaming to be a Dou Di, only to earn a reputation for fickleness in the brothels."
Northwest Continent, Jia Ma Empire, Blackrock City.
A young man in white with flowing long hair was currently being kicked out by three Dou Practitioner guards from the Chunxiang Pavilion. Fortunately, the top courtesan, Xinyue, gave him a generous alms, allowing him to keep his life.
Walking on the streets of Blackrock City, he was in an extremely wretched state. In his helplessness, he could only look up to the sky with a face full of grief and indignation, howling to vent the resentment in his heart:
"I, Ye Changge, a dignified transmigrator, am I really going to bend my knee for five pecks of rice?"
Ten years ago, Ye Changge transmigrated to the Fighting Qi Continent. He originally thought he would be like other transmigrators, starting with an invincible and explosive beginning, sweeping across the world with a harem of wives and beauties. But reality slapped him hard several times. Not only did he fail to awaken a System, but he also didn't have a shred of cultivation talent. It was a complete trash start. On the day he transmigrated, the only thing he picked up was a Sect Master token.
Thanks to his good looks, after asking around, he finally figured out the origin of this token. Begging all the way, he eventually arrived at Blackrock City.
However, as he looked at the dilapidated ruins of the Sect before him, Ye Changge wanted to cry but had no tears:
"Where are the people? Where is my Sect?"
"You dropped your Sect Master token! Come out and claim it!"
However, the response he got was a loud "Bang!"
He looked into the distance; just because his voice was a few decibels louder, a palace that hadn't completely collapsed suddenly came crashing down.
This made the already impoverished Sect even worse off.
Originally, he thought that by the merit of returning the token, he could at least become an Outer Sect Disciple in this Ye Emperor Hall!
"Truly, fate toys with people!"
Immediately, Ye Changge thought of the 'plump and wealthy' auntie he met yesterday: "Young man, you're so handsome, why are you begging?"
"If you have any difficulties, feel free to come find Auntie."
He steeled his heart. Let's do it!
Man is made of iron, and rice is its fuel—missing one meal makes you feel weak with hunger!
[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the Sect Master token and become the Sect Master of Ye Emperor Hall. The Invincible Sect System has been successfully activated.]
Just as Ye Changge was about to head down the mountain, a voice sounded in his mind.
"System! Is it you? Brother System!!"
Ye Changge said excitedly.
"Brother System, if you hadn't come, I would have had to give myself to that rich woman!"
[host, do not be excited. The System may be late, but it will never be absent!]
[This System is the Invincible Sect System, assisting the host in building the number one Sect!]
[The Newbie Gift Pack has been distributed. This System will issue tasks from time to time. The host can obtain huge rewards upon completion. Of course, there is no penalty for failure.]
"Invincible Sect? Brother System is awesome!!"
"Brother System, open the Newbie Gift Pack!"
[Ding! The Newbie Gift Pack has been opened.]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining one Golden Summoning Card.]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining one Random Fighting Qi Cultivation Level Up Card.]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 1 Sect Construction Card.]
Attached below were the instructions for the items.
Golden Summoning Card: Can randomly summon an expert from the Dou Zun Realm to the Dou Di Realm.
Random Fighting Qi Cultivation Level Up Card: Can randomly increase the host's Fighting Qi cultivation Realm, depending entirely on personal luck.
Sect Construction Card: An indispensable treasure for constructing and developing a Sect.
"My goodness, these Newbie Gift Pack rewards are truly generous!"
"Randomly obtaining a Realm based on luck? And that summoning card for Dou Zun to Dou Di? Do you think you're in a novel? Even novels wouldn't dare write it like this!"
Ye Changge looked at the cards in his mind in shock, exclaiming how awesome they were.
[There is nothing the host cannot imagine, only things this System cannot do.]
"Then what are we waiting for? Use them quickly!!"
Ye Changge rubbed his hands together excitedly.
[Random Realm Level Up Card drawing... Ding! Congratulations to the host for drawing the Dou Zong Realm.]
Under his expectant gaze, the Realm level up card landed on the Dou Zong Realm and stopped.
What the heck? Is my luck really that bad?
Before Ye Changge could say anything else.
A powerful surge of Fighting Qi rushed straight into his Dantian, traveling through his entire body's Meridians, accompanied by a series of crackling sounds like frying beans. It felt as if his Ren and Du Meridians had been opened. Immediately after, a large amount of information regarding Fighting Qi Cultivation Techniques, Dou Techniques, and cultivation insights flooded in.
1st Stage Dou Zhi Qi—Condensing the Fighting Qi Cyclone!
1-Star Dou Practitioner—9-Star!
1-Star Dou Master—9-Star!
1-Star Great Dou Master—9-Star!
...1-Star Dou Huang... 9-Star!
1-Star Dou Zong... Peak!
In an instant, Ye Changge went from an ordinary person who couldn't even truss a chicken to a Peak Dou Zong expert. In this Jia Ma Empire, he was now the strongest person.
"Dou Zong Realm, huh? Not bad."
After all, he was just an ordinary person a moment ago.
According to the information he gathered while begging these past few days, the strongest experts in this Jia Ma Empire were at most at the Dou Huang Realm.
In this Jia Ma Empire where Dou Zong are as rare as phoenix feathers, he, a Peak Dou Zong expert, held the absolute final say!
Immediately, Ye Changge looked at the Golden Summoning Card and prayed silently:
"Brother System, I don't dare dream of a Dou Di, just give me a Dou Zun!"
In today's Fighting Qi Continent, Dou Di have vanished, and Dou Sheng Experts are too aloof to appear in the world. A Dou Zun expert is already the strongest combat power on the surface!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully using the Summoning Card. Summoning... Ding! Summoning successful... Congratulations to the host for summoning a Dou Di expert—the Dou Di Ancestor of Ye Emperor Hall—Ye Xuan!]
"Wow, a Golden Legend!"
A huge crack opened in the distant sky, followed by a majestic Emperor's Might.
If someone with low cultivation were here, they would be crushed to death instantly by this Emperor's Might. Of course, Ye Changge was the one who summoned him, and any attack from the summoned person would be ineffective against him.
In an instant, experts across the continent sensed it.
"This is... Emperor's Might!"
"How is this possible!!"
For a time, the various Dou Di clans and factions in the Central Plains were in an uproar. They sent messengers rushing toward the Northwest Continent, whether to make friends, seek refuge, or even just to be a dog—such was the intimidating power of a Dou Di expert!
"Hey, you look pretty arrogant? Old man! Don't look around, it's you. Come and pay your respects to the Sect Master."
The Emperor's Might dissipated, and an old man with white hair and a youthful face stood not far away. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Changge. His intuition told him that this person was definitely not as simple as he appeared. He was very dangerous!!
[Could this person be above the Dou Di Realm...?!]
Ye Xuan didn't dare think further.
"Ye Xuan greets the Sect Master. Thank you, Sect Master, for resurrecting me."
"Mhm, from now on you will be the Protector Elder of my Ye Emperor Hall. Dou Di Realm... is barely enough!"
"Thank you, Sect Master. This place is... Ye Emperor Hall?"
Ye Xuan quickly checked the surrounding environment and geography. The more he looked, the more familiar it became.
Wasn't this his Ye Emperor Hall?
But why was it in such ruins? Aside from this mysterious and powerful Sect Master, it was just a pile of rubble!
"What, is there a problem with Ye Emperor Hall?"
Ye Changge noticed the old man's surprise and asked.
"I wouldn't dare. To be honest with the Sect Master, I, Ye Xuan, am the first-generation Sect Master of Ye Emperor Hall."
"It's just that now... it has all turned into ruins."
Truly, no one can escape the erosion of the river of time. Even a Dou Di like himself had perished within it.
"What? The first-generation Sect Master of Ye Emperor Hall?"
[Isn't that the ancestor of this identity I've picked up for cheap?]
Ye Changge hadn't looked closely at the System interface just now; he only saw that it was a Dou Di expert.
Looking at it now, this old man really was the Old Ancestor of Ye Emperor Hall!
