Sign-In at the Start: I Built an Eternal Immortal Sect

The Tianxuan Continent is divided into nine provinces. Spirit veins run through mountains and rivers like blood vessels, and sects are built along the veins and fight over them. Almost every place rich in spiritual energy is claimed by the strongest powers. Ruling the nine provinces are the Ten Great Sects. They occupy the strategic points of each province, hold the finest spirit veins and the oldest inherited techniques, and wield the authority to decide the life and death of small sects. Below the Ten Great Sects, second- and third-rate sects grow as densely as weeds and die out just as often. Some buy a little breathing room by mining and refining pills for the great sects; others become their vassals, liable to be swallowed up and struck from the rolls at any moment. The Qingyun Sect was once among the upper ranks of second-rate sects, its mountain gate spanning half of Green Mountain, with over a thousand disciples. Then, after a joint crackdown for reasons no one could explain clearly, its mountain-protecting formation was broken, most of its elders were killed or wounded, and all that remained was half of the front peak, with fewer than twenty disciples. It was reduced to a third-rate ruin that could be wiped out at any time. Martial arts here are no idle talk; they are the bare qualification to survive. Each higher realm means one more spirit vein to claim, one more quota to compete for, one more voice that will be heard. Take one step back, and you will not even have a place to stand. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Sign-In at the Start: I Built an Eternal Immortal Sect — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
