The cold mechanical sound echoed in his mind, like the first thunderclap at the beginning of Chaos.
【The Strongest Sect System, at your service! 】
【Host: Chu Yang, welcome to the world of the strong! 】
Chu Yang froze on the spot, his consciousness blanked by the sudden sound. One second ago, he was struggling on the brink of death, the foul breath of the Gale Wolf almost spraying onto his face. The next second, five ferocious Demonic Beasts had turned into a mist of blood, and within his body surged a terrifying power capable of shaking the heavens and earth!
This is not a dream!
That power was so real, vast as the sea of stars, mighty as the universe, roaring and surging through his meridians, which had expanded countless times. Every cell was rejoicing, proclaiming strength! This was a power far beyond his comprehension; what were Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment? They were as insignificant as dust before this power!
"System... Chaos Spirit Root..." he muttered to himself, instantly understanding. It turned out he was not a Waste Material, but rather this world was fundamentally unworthy of containing his foundation! He needed this System from beyond the heavens to truly begin!
"Tell me everything!" Chu Yang suppressed the surging Qi and Blood, urgently commanding in his mind. He needed to know what this existence that changed his destiny could bring.
【This System is the "Strongest Sect System," designed to assist the Host in becoming the Lord of Ten Thousand Sects in this realm, standing at the absolute peak. 】
【Core functions are as follows: 】
【One, Sect Construction: Obtain Points through missions to exchange for the Scripture Conveying Hall, Scripture Repository Pavilion, Pill Refining Room, Sect Protecting Grand Array, Spirit Vein Blessed Land, and more. 】
【Two, Disciple Cultivation: Search for and recruit those possessing the fate of "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss" or Special Physiques. The System will deduce and provide exclusive supreme Cultivation Methods and resources based on their potential and loyalty. As disciples grow, the Host benefits synchronously. 】
【Three, System Mall: Exchange Points for everything—Cultivation Methods, Pills, Divine Weapons, Talismans, Cultivation Level Cards... all-encompassing. 】
【Four, Cultivation Infusion: Complete specific missions to directly raise the Host's Cultivation Level. （Note: The Host's current Cultivation Level has reached the limit for this stage; further advancement requires breaking through the Bottleneck or completing higher-tier missions. ）】
【The Newbie Gift Pack has been distributed, open it? 】
"Open it!" Chu Yang did not hesitate. Nothing was more timely than help in a crisis!
【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: 】
【1. Sect Foundation Stone × 1 （ The Core for establishing an unparalleled Dao Foundation ）】
【2. Divine-grade Breath Concealment Technique （ In a single thought, transform into a mundane person, undetectable even by an Immortal Emperor ）】
【3. Low-Grade Spirit Stones × 】
【4. 《Chaos Heaven Opening Art》 Introductory Chapter （ Exclusive binding, Chaos unique ）】
【5. Sect Location Guidance Map （ Marking the best Blessed Land within a ten-thousand-mile radius ）】
With a flash of light, the items were stored in the System Space deep within his consciousness. Chu Yang moved his thought and prioritized learning the 《Chaos Heaven Opening Art》 Introductory Chapter and the Divine-grade Breath Concealment Technique.
Boom!
Profound and inscrutable Cultivation Method Runes were branded deeply into his soul! He was suddenly enlightened, instinctively circulating the Cultivation Method along the ancient and mysterious pathways. The vast Spiritual Power within him, which had previously existed passively, seemed to have found its home, instantly becoming incredibly docile and condensed, ready to be commanded at will! An unprecedented sense of control and power arose, as if he could cleave the heavens and earth with a mere wave of his hand!
Simultaneously, the Breath Concealment Technique operated automatically. The Heavenly Venerable aura that made heaven and earth tremble around him vanished instantly. Externally, he looked no different from the Waste Material at Qi Refining First Layer before, perhaps even more mundane.
"Good! What a Chaos Heaven Opening! What a Divine-grade Breath Concealment!" Chu Yang's eyes shot out sharp light, his heart filled with soaring ambition. He had finally stepped onto his own Dao!
He immediately brought up the illusory Guidance Map, his gaze locking onto a point shining with intense light deep within the Demonic Beast Mountain Range.
"That's the place!"
He hesitated no longer, his figure moving like a phantom, vanishing from the spot. His speed was a hundred times faster than before! Demonic Beasts along the way, whether lurking poisonous pythons or swarms of blood bats, had not yet sensed his approach before they were terrified out of their wits and scattered in panic by a wisp of Qi Mechanism emanating invisibly.
However, just as he approached that valley, a tyrannical and ferocious aura descended like a volcanic eruption!
Rumble!
The earth shook violently, and trees were snapped! A Giant Ape covered in black scales with a ghostly flame burning on its forehead smashed through the rocks and roared into view! A peak Third-Tier Demonic Beast—the Black Scaled Violent Ape! Its strength was comparable to a human cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm!
It had just finished feasting on human cultivators. Its huge, scarlet eyes instantly locked onto the "tiny" Chu Yang, and with mockery and cruelty, its giant palm descended, covering the sky and obscuring the sun! The palm wind pressed down, causing the ground to crack inch by inch!
In the past, this would have been a certain death situation.
But now, Chu Yang's eyes were calm and unwavering.
"Perfect. I'll use you to test my blade and familiarize myself with this body."
He neither dodged nor retreated, not even using the absolute power of the Heavenly Venerable Realm to suppress, merely circulating the Spiritual Power from the 《Chaos Heaven Opening Art》 Introductory Chapter. Chaos-colored light condensed on his right fist, meeting the attack without the slightest trace of worldly energy.
"Bang—!!"
Fist met palm, erupting in a muffled thunderous roar! Waves of air rolled, and dust billowed to the sky!
The Black Scaled Violent Ape did not feel the sensation of crushing an ant as it had anticipated. Instead, an indescribable, terrifying power carrying the attribute of annihilation surged violently into its body through its arm!
"Crack... Pfft!"
Its arm bone, comparable to refined metal, instantly shattered inch by inch. Its massive body was sent flying backward as if struck by a primeval giant beast, smashing a human-shaped crater into the mountain wall behind it!
It struggled to get up, its eyes filled with extreme terror and disbelief.
Chu Yang's figure was like lightning, arriving in an instant, hovering above its head. He pointed his fingers like a sword, a faint but fatal wisp of Chaos Qi Flow wrapping around his fingertip.
"It's over."
His fingertip lightly swept across.
The Black Scaled Violent Ape's massive body stiffened abruptly. A minuscule mark appeared between its brows, and immediately, all its Vitality ceased instantly. It crashed to the ground!
Instant kill!
Chu Yang floated gently to the ground, feeling the almost negligible consumption within his body, gaining a deeper understanding of his own power.
He stepped into the valley. The Spiritual Qi here was dense, and the terrain was naturally formed—truly an excellent location to establish a Sect. He took out the "Sect Foundation Stone" imbued with Dao Rhyme and, following the System's guidance, drove it into the Earth Vein Core.
Buzz!
The Foundation Stone merged with the earth, and the entire valley trembled slightly, as if a slumbering giant dragon had awakened! The surrounding Spiritual Qi surged in like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, and the concentration instantly increased several times! Mysterious Formation Patterns flashed across the ground and vanished.
【Ding! The Sect Foundation Stone has been placed! Please name the Sect! 】
"Reincarnation," Chu Yang said in a low, firm voice. "The past is dead; today is Reincarnation!"
【Naming successful! The "Reincarnation Sect" is officially established in this realm! 】
【Main Quest "Founding a Sect" completed! Rewards issued: Sect Basic Construction—"Scripture Conveying Hall" × 1, Great Emperor Realm Cultivation Experience Card （ A Quarter Hour ） × 1. 】
【New mission issued: Recruit Disciples! 】
【Mission requirement: Recruit one disciple who meets the "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss" fate. 】
【Mission rewards: Based on disciple potential evaluation, receive 1000- Points, and one Special Lottery Chance × 1. 】
The Phantom Image of the Scripture Conveying Hall awaited Materialization in the System Space, and that Great Emperor Experience Card made Chu Yang's heart surge—it was an absolute trump card capable of turning the tide!
"Hidden Dragon in the Abyss..." Chu Yang's gaze pierced through layers of mountains, looking toward the direction of Qingyang City. The System transmitted a faint sense of guidance; his destined first disciple was there.
He sat cross-legged beside the Sect Foundation Stone, the Chaos Heaven Opening Art circulating automatically to consolidate his soaring Cultivation Level, while a clear plan formed in his mind.
Return to Qingyang City!
Both to seek a disciple and... to settle accounts!
The humiliations inflicted upon him were now due to be repaid, with interest!
A cold and dangerous curve appeared on his lips.
