"No way! I've transmigrated?
"And this is a
"Leader of the Grand Mystery Sect? I'm the only one left in the sect?
"Isn't this too ridiculous?"
In the midst of some ruins, Ye Chen was looking at everything before him and feeling dumbfounded.
As a frequent reader of novels, he naturally knew what transmigration was all about.
However, it was precisely because he understood it that he realized what it meant to be in this Xianxia world.
While there were endless opportunities, there were also endless dangers!
After his memories had fused with that of his predecessor, he had sat on the spot in a daze.
The Grand Mystery Sect's original leader had gone to a mystic realm alone for a breakthrough. In the end, he had provoked a powerful figure of the Blazing Sun Sword Sect and died.
After the sect had lost its backbone, the information had soon reached its former and current enemies. As such, it had constantly been suppressed and annexed.
The Grand Mystery Sect's disciples had fled and died, leaving only Ye Chen. He had just arrived upon severing all ties with the mortal world, and he had no cultivation at all.
However, the Grand Mystery Sect's only disciple, Ye Chen, had directly inherited the sect's fortune. So, he had inadvertently become the Grand Mystery Sect's leader.
Once the sect's enemies found out about this, he would probably attract endless pursuits with his new identity.
"I'm going to throw up! This is the beginning of hell!"
Ye Chen wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
It would be better if the sect's infrastructure were still intact.
At the very least, the mountain defense array could cover part of the area and allow him to cultivate for a while.
But now...
Forget the mountain defense array, there was not even a latrine left. It had all been blown into dust by the enemies.
If more enemies came, he would have nowhere to hide should they use any divine cognition.
He needed to run!
At that moment, Ye Chen was definitely not able to deal with any immortal cultivators. His life was ultimately more important.
Thinking about that, Ye Chen began to leave since he did not have anything else to settle.
Right then...
Ding!
"The Great Development System is being activated!
"Activation complete!"
A cold voice rang out, which made Ye Chen's body freeze.
System?
Golden Dragon?
Did he hear that correctly?
Ding!
"When your sect noticed that you were leaving, they became afraid that the inheritance would be cut off, so they panicked. They decided to do something to make you stay and automatically leveled you up as a result."
"Your sect has seven main peaks and thirty-six side peaks."
"When the Grand Mystery Sect's main peak saw that the sect was on the verge of a decline, it was extremely heartbroken. It then offered a Golden Dragon of Fortune of its own accord."
"When those at the mountain gate realized that your sect had fallen into ruin, they felt extremely guilty and offered a defense array as well as a stone tablet."
A series of voices sounded, startling Ye Chen.
What the hell?
Are you kidding me?
All of a sudden, thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed.
Then, a hundred thousand light beams rose up above the Grand Mystery Sect's ruins.
One after another, towering mountains began to form.
Buildings also rose up from the ground one by one.
Even the dilapidated mountain gate regained its former glory. The words, "Great Mystery Sect" on the plaque appeared even more awe-inspiring.
Amidst the endless light, a huge golden dragon head was faintly discernible. As it moved around, an even larger body was revealed.
It was the Golden Dragon of Fortune.
Fortune meant fate and destiny.
The longer the golden dragon, the greater the fortune and the more endless the good luck along the way.
Now that the Grand Mystery Sect had such a huge dragon, which could not even fit into the sky, the disciples of the sect would have endless opportunities and unimpeded immortal cultivation.
Within a short period of time, the whole sect had undergone a huge change.
"Awesome! It's really all part of a system."
Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Since that was the case, he did not need to pack up and run anymore.
With the mountain defense array's protection, it would be safer to remain in the sect.
...
After everything fell into place, Ye Chen could not help but cheer at the Grand Mystery Sect's magnificent sight.
At that moment, a light screen, which only he could see, appeared in front of his eyes.
It was the topographic map of the Grand Mystery Sect.
All of the buildings in the Grand Mystery Sect were displayed on it, and he could modify them at any time.
All buildings, fall!
Mountain defense array, open!
Golden Dragon of Fortune, amplify your blessings!
Under Ye Chen's control, the Scripture Collection Pavilion, Spirit Beast Garden, and Inheritance Pagoda were all relocated near the main peak. Wisps of Dao magic rose up, protecting the left and right sides.
A thin and smooth layer of array light also climbed up from the edge of the sect, finally gathering in the air.
It was like an exquisite glass bowl, covering dozens of mountains.
Under the sunlight, visible streams of spirit qi were sucked into the array. They seemed to be tangible as they floated back and forth.
In the blink of an eye, all the mountains were shrouded in mist, and every building was enveloped within.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the current Grand Mystery Sect was not even inferior to some large sects based on its concentration of spiritual energy.
Spiritual energy was the basis for the cultivation of disciples.
Denser spiritual energy also meant that the speed of the disciples' advancement would be faster than others.
On top of that, the mountain defense array had many other magical functions.
The illusion formation could cover the area, and no one would be able to see that there was a sect there.
He could use the maze formation to disturb intruders, making them retreat.
Meanwhile, using the killing formation would enable him to punish intruders, preventing them from returning.
The list went on; there were many small formations.
Plus, that stone tablet could do more than just complement the array. It could also detect the intentions of intruders and activate the corresponding formation according to the degree of good or evil.
Hmm, it was very human-like.
The Golden Dragon of Fortune above Ye Chen's head released a low groan, and its body turned translucent as it coiled around the seven main peaks, concealing the blessings for the Grand Mystery Sect.
Ye Chen could clearly feel that some ability of his had seemed to greatly improve, but he could not pinpoint it.
He understood that it was the result of the increase in luck.
Everything went according to plan.
The buildings that had fallen started to operate automatically, and soon, a notification was sent to him.
"Your sect's Scripture Collection Pavilion was not happy with the low-level cultivation methods that the sect had collected. So, they took the initiative to deduce the optimum cultivation method. In the end, they offered you the Green Star Nether Record (Mid-Level Earth Rank), Heavenly Sorrow Illusory Spectrum (Low-Level Heaven Rank), and Heavenly Observation Eye (Mid-Level Heaven Rank).
"Your sect's Scripture Collection Pavilion noticed that the sect leader's strength was too weak, and they were extremely distressed. They developed a cultivation method especially for you, the Great Development System (Immortal Mantra).
"The Spirit Beast Garden sensed that a divine beast was about to be born and secretly utilized its strength in preparation to lure the cub back to the Grand Mystery Sect.
"When the Inheritance Pagoda saw that the others were so capable, it was not convinced and also not willing to fall behind. It secretly contacted a peerless favorite of heaven to join the Grand Mystery Sect!"
Tsk!
It was indeed a sect that lived up to expectations.
It already knew that it was going to look for high-quality disciples and spirit pets.
It even knew how to deduce cultivation methods.
The sect was indeed not bad!
Ye Chen was very satisfied with it, so he started to check out the cultivation methods that the Scripture Collection Pavilion had given to him.
Great Development System: The user does not need to train, all abilities will be self-generated. Lifespan, cultivation, physique, luck, charm, and so on...
What the f*ck?
It's so powerful?
He did not have to do anything, and every aspect of him would be increased?
That was way too heaven-defying!
Ye Chen did not even need to think about it, immediately choosing to study it.
Suddenly, it felt like his lower abdomen had been emptied, and a huge, abrupt suction force started to consume the surrounding spirit qi.
At the same time, Ye Chen's cultivation level increased continuously.
Early Body Refining Realm...
Mid Body Refining Realm...
Late Body Refining Realm...
Peak Body Refining Realm...
Breakthrough!
Early Qi Refining Realm!
In just a short while, Ye Chen had jumped from a mortal to a Qi Refining Realm cultivator!
That had saved him more than ten years of hard training!
However, his energy centers were still absorbing spirit qi nonstop.
Whenever his realm increased, it would increase by a lot.
He was too strong!
Not only was he not required to cultivate on his own, but his rate of improvement was also incredibly fast!
As expected of the system's output!
Comparing the Great Development System with the other heaven-defying cultivation techniques...
Although the Green Star Nether Record, as well as the Heavenly Sorrow Illusory Spectrum, were both high-grade cultivation methods and extremely rare in large sects, before the immortal cultivation method, they seemed somewhat shabby.
Each person could only focus on one cultivation method. These would be left for them to practice when they recruited new disciples in the future!
There was also the Heavenly Observation Eye...
It was a spell that allowed one to see a person's attributes. It was not bad, and Ye Chen could learn it too.
Ye Chen picked the one with the densest spirit qi among the seven main peaks and named it "Dragon Head."
After that, Ye Chen started to train in the leader's training room on Dragon Head Peak.
Although the Heavenly Observation Eye was of a high rank, it was not difficult to learn.
With the system's help, a ball of light entered Ye Chen's eyes, making his eyes sharper.
"If I take the initiative to train and work with the Great Development System, will I be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort?"
Ye Chen then started to experiment.
...
At the same time...
Outside the mysterious great sect...
A girl in shabby clothes appeared in the middle of the mountain.
There was a bloody wound on her back that ran through to her entire spine.
More terrifyingly, there was a section of the girl's spine that had been replaced by a talisman.
Based on the wound, it looked like that section of her spine had been forcefully taken out from the middle.
Hatred was written all over her face as she gritted her teeth and endured the pain.
"Big brother, my good big brother, hehe... Cough... Cough...
"You stole my Supreme-Being Bone and broke my Path of Immortality, causing all the major sects to turn me away.
"I will repay this enmity tenfold!
"Although the Grand Mystery Sect has declined, it is still an orthodox cultivation sect.
"I must join the Grand Mystery Sect!
"It is my only hope!"
The hatred in Gong Lingyun's eyes turned into determination. She looked at the stone tablet at the foot of the mountain and knelt down respectfully.
"Gong Lingyun of the Eastern Province has come to pay her respects!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the black stone tablet immediately emitted a ball of light. It then entered the space between Gong Lingyun's brows.
The stone tablet was gauging her level of good and evil to determine whether she was hostile toward the Grand Mystery Sect.
After a short while, a hollow and mysterious voice resounded throughout heaven and earth.
"Pass. You have passed the test, and you will be allowed to inherit the Grand Mystery's teachings."
Immediately after, the Grand Mystery Sect's mountain gate appeared in front of Gong Lingyun.
It was extremely magnificent, and it exuded a supreme, as well as inviolable majesty, the entire time. People would involuntarily be in awe and reverence.
She looked up and saw that all of the Grand Mystery's peaks were shrouded in the clouds and mist. There was also a continuous flow of multicolored light, which was extremely magical.
The array was much more magnificent than anything she had seen in all of the immortal sects that she had come across!
"Didn't they say that the Grand Mystery Sect has declined?
"Even the sect's ancestral shrine has been destroyed.
"How can it still be so exquisite?"
It seemed that the rumors were not credible.
Gong Lingyun shook her head. Her desire to join the Grand Mystery Sect grew stronger.
Without any hesitation, she entered the sect.
In an instant, the scene before her changed.
A dazed Gong Lingyun was back at home, and she saw that her elder brother had taken her Supreme-Being Bone with his own hands.
"Is this an illusion?" Gong Lingyun mumbled to herself.
Then, a glint of hatred flashed in her eyes. "Even if this is an illusion, I won't allow you to humiliate me again!"
...
In the leader's training room on Dragon Head Peak...
Ye Chen exhaled lightly and ended his training.
In a short period of time, his cultivation had improved again, and he had directly reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.
Due to the Golden Dragon of Fortune's existence, Ye Chen did not encounter any bottlenecks in the process of breaking through the realms. It was very smooth.
"The Great Development System is indeed powerful.
"In less than a day, it has already turned me from a mortal to someone at the Peak Qi Refining Realm."
Ye Chen was very satisfied with it.
However, after the Qi Refining Realm, there were still other realms such as the Core Condensation, Core Formation, Form Materialization, Nascent Soul Formation, Silent Spirit, Body Departure, Mind Splitting, Body Combination, even the legendary trial, Mahayana, and many more.
There was still a long way to go before he could become a giant.
Nevertheless, with such fast advancement, he believed that it was only a matter of time.
All of sudden, he seemed to sense something, and he pulled out the sect's map in the system.
On it, he saw a severely injured girl.
"Oh?
"This is the Inheritance Pagoda that's housing the peerless favorite of heaven?
"How could she be so miserable?"
Indeed, Gong Lingyun's body was covered in blood after being stripped of her spine. Following her long journey, she looked extremely haggard.
An undetectable glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, and the Heavenly Observation Eye, which he recently learned, began to operate.
Name: Gong Lingyun
Bone Age: 16
Aptitude: Excellent
Personality: Delicate - Resolute (transitional stage)
Cultivation: None
Constitution: Supreme-Being Bone (already plundered)
Luck: 30,000
Loyalty: 0
A lot of information filled Ye Chen's eyes.
"So, this is how the Heavenly Observation Eye is used. Not bad, not bad.
"However... apart from having a bit more luck, what else can this person do? I don't lack luck here.
"Didn't they say that the one who came was a peerless genius? She couldn't even keep her Supreme-Being Bone, how could she be called a genius?"
