Piao Miao Sect.
Wu Feng Mountain.
Qi Hao stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the familiar peak with some emotion.
Ever since his Transmigration to the Desolate Heaven Continent, he had undergone an Awakening of the System.
He had to act according to the tasks given by the System.
Refusal would result in punishment.
The punishment was to be united as Dao Companions with the ugliest woman in the world.
How could Qi Hao agree to that? Therefore, he could only desperately complete the tasks.
“All the side tasks have been completed; now it’s time for the main task.”
For twenty years, Qi Hao had been completing the side tasks given by the System. After the side tasks were done, the main task appeared.
And his Cultivation Realm had also reached the King Realm.
Now, he had finally returned to the Piao Miao Sect, back to Wu Feng Mountain, where his Cultivation began.
“Ding!”
“Host has completed all side tasks, obtaining the ‘Forbidden Treasure’ Fishing Rod. The main task will now be issued.”
“Main Task: Recruit ten Disciples within a hundred years and Cultivate them to the Great Emperor level.”
“Task Failure: Same as before.”
“Great Emperor? Are you kidding me?”
Qi Hao suspected he had misread. Recruiting Disciples was one thing, but making him Cultivate them to Great Emperor? He was only in the King Realm himself.
Qi Hao was bewildered. What kind of main task was this?
“I was wrong. Can I continue doing side tasks, please?”
Then, Qi Hao looked at the Fishing Rod’s description. To be called a Forbidden Treasure, it must have something extraordinary about it.
“Forbidden Treasure Fishing Rod: A Fishing Rod inherited from the Primordial Era. It can fish anywhere, not only for fish but also for all things in the heavens, ignoring the River of Time and countless ages. There is nothing you can’t imagine that this Fishing Rod can’t catch.”
Hiss!
This description was definitely high-end.
Qi Hao was a bit excited and wanted to try fishing immediately.
“Oh, who do we have here? Isn’t this Qi Hao, the sole heir of Wu Feng Mountain? It’s been almost twenty years, hasn’t it?”
Just as Qi Hao was about to start fishing, a man flew by on his sword. When he passed Wu Feng Mountain, he saw Qi Hao below.
The man, named Yang Wei, was among the same batch of Disciples who entered the Piao Miao Sect as Qi Hao. He had now been promoted to an Elder of Shang Ling Peak.
Qi Hao frowned. He looked up and recognized the fellow. They had some friction back then, and this guy had even mocked him, saying his strength was too weak, no different from a good-for-nothing.
Twenty years later, this guy’s strength was decent, reaching the Great Acquired Realm.
The Realm divisions on the Desolate Heaven Continent are divided into nine stages: Qi Refining, Spirit Transformation, Acquired, Innate, Great Acquired, King, Grandmaster, Heavenly Saint, and Great Emperor.
Each Realm is further divided into lower, middle, and upper layers.
And this Yang Wei, after twenty years, had reached the Great Acquired Realm. No wonder he was so arrogant, mocking him as soon as he returned.
If this guy knew that he had already reached the King Realm, would he be scared to death?
“What? Qi Hao, twenty years later, you went out and not only did your strength stagnate, but you also became a mute when you returned?”
Yang Wei continued to taunt him. He had just sensed Qi Hao’s strength and found that the latter had not changed at all in twenty years, still in the Qi Refining Realm. He was simply a good-for-nothing!
Qi Hao was speechless. The impression he currently gave was that of the Qi Refining Realm. This was because the System had hidden his actual Cultivation, so it was normal for the other party not to see it clearly.
Qi Hao stared at Yang Wei like he was an idiot: “Yang Wei, you talk a lot of nonsense. Twenty years later, how’s your body?”
Yang Wei was stunned. What did that mean? He was actually concerned about him: “Qi Hao, what do you mean?”
Qi Hao smiled: “Yang Wei, right? What a great name. Your body should be fine, I suppose.”
“Bastard!” Yang Wei reacted. If it weren’t for the Sect rules, he would have attacked. “Qi Hao, keep being arrogant. Now that Wu Feng Mountain has no other Disciples, it’s about to be removed from the Nine Mountains, and you’ll become a stray dog, haha.”
Qi Hao was taken aback: “Wu Feng Mountain is being removed from the Nine Mountains?”
Yang Wei laughed: “Today happens to be the new Sect recruitment. If your Wu Feng Mountain still can’t recruit any Disciples this year, then you’ll just have to wait for Wu Feng Mountain to be delisted, haha!”
Yang Wei laughed loudly, seemingly envisioning Qi Hao’s pathetic state of being mocked later. After a burst of excitement, he flew away on his sword.
Qi Hao frowned, not expecting that Wu Feng Mountain now had no Disciples at all. This truly showed how cold the world had become.
Qi Hao returned to Wu Feng Mountain, looking at the dilapidated, overgrown living quarters around him, sighing with emotion.
Twenty years ago, this place was bustling with people and many Disciples. How did it end up like this now?
“Old man, look, after you died back then, Wu Feng Mountain declined, and everyone ran off.”
“But this is good too; I’m idle now and don’t have so many worries.”
“Coincidentally, the main task now requires me to recruit ten Disciples, which can also be considered new recruits for Wu Feng Mountain.”
After his emotion, Qi Hao didn’t think much of it. No one was even better; he could Cultivate leisurely without bothering with other matters.
Thinking of this, Qi Hao immediately took out the Forbidden Treasure Fishing Rod. He was too lazy to even cut the weeds on Wu Feng Mountain and directly began his fishing career.
“Uncle-Master Qi! Is Uncle-Master Qi Hao here!”
Just as Qi Hao was about to set off, a voice came over.
Qi Hao was defeated. Not letting him fish, huh? Seamless transition?
He saw a Disciple running up from the foot of Wu Feng Mountain.
Qi Hao wondered: “I am Qi Hao. Who are you? What is the matter?”
“Reporting to Uncle-Master, this Disciple’s name is Liu Ming. Today is the day of the Sect’s new recruitment. Just now, Elder Yang of the Sect asked me to inform Uncle-Master Qi to represent Wu Feng Mountain in recruiting Disciples.” Liu Ming respectfully replied. He still had to show due respect to this Uncle-Master Qi.
Qi Hao nodded: “Alright, I understand. I’ll be there shortly.”
Liu Ming completed his task, then said no more and turned to leave.
Liu Ming had heard rumors about Wu Feng Mountain and knew that it now only had this one Uncle-Master Qi, making it the weakest of the mountains.
“Elder Yang? This Yang Wei really knows how to force things. He just came back and can’t stay quiet.”
Qi Hao guessed it was Yang Wei’s doing. He hadn’t returned for twenty years, and upon his return, he encountered Yang Wei, who then forced this task upon him.
Qi Hao knew that thinking too much now was useless; the Sect rules still had to be followed.
Before, Wu Feng Mountain had no one, so no one could represent it in recruiting Disciples.
Now that he had returned, as the sole heir of Wu Feng Mountain, the task of recruiting Disciples naturally fell upon him.
Qi Hao stood up, then descended the mountain, heading towards the recruitment venue… Meanwhile, at the Piao Miao Sect’s recruitment hall.
A young girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, looked towards the depths of the Piao Miao Sect.
The girl’s face was youthful, her beautiful eyes bright and spirited, with delicate features and skin as fair as jade.
Her pair of long legs stood out in the crowd. Though young, her figure was extremely curvaceous and slender, attracting the attention of many Disciples.
Her noble aura, like a pure lotus, exuded a fragrant breath, akin to a spring breeze, spreading a captivating scent.
“I never expected that I, a woman from Blue Star, would also Transmigrate, transmigrating into a woman with the same name.”
“This body’s Aptitude is too good, with both status and background.”
“Next, I will join the Piao Miao Sect and begin my journey of Cultivation!”
The girl’s name was Leng Yanzhu. Some time ago, she had Transmigrated from Blue Star into this Cultivation world. The original owner was from a Cultivation Family.
Leng Yanzhu was full of longing. Coincidentally, the Piao Miao Sect was recruiting new Disciples, so she wanted to seize this opportunity to officially embark on her path of Cultivation.
Leng Yanzhu thought to herself, one day, she would reign supreme over the world.
