Chapter 1

Dada Sect, Qingxuan Peak.

Lu Xuan stood in front of a thatched cottage, feeling extremely depressed.

Since he had crossed over to this world, he inherited the mantle of his deceased master and became the peak master of Qingxuan Peak in Dada Sect.

And from the moment he became the peak master of Qingxuan Peak, his disciple recruitment system appeared, but the first disciple had to be an Empress to activate the system!

Isn't this just a trap?

The cultivation realms in this world are divided into: Qi Refinement, Mystic Scholar, Mystic Master, Mystic Spirit, Mystic King, Great Mystic King, Mystic Emperor, Mystic Ancestor, Mystic Venerable, Mystic Saint, Saint King, and Great Emperor...

It should be known that the sect leader of Dada Sect is only at the Saint King realm, and the original owner was just a cultivation waste, only at the Qi Refinement stage.

His cultivation was even inferior to that of the outer sect disciples. If it weren't for the blessings left by his cheap master, he would have been expelled from Dada Sect long ago.

For years, Lu Xuan participated in every disciple recruitment event of Dada Sect, but no one chose to become his disciple.

Moreover, Lu Xuan's name spread far and wide, and many elders of major forces warned their juniors.

"Absolutely do not go to Qingxuan Peak! Absolutely do not become Lu Xuan's disciple! Otherwise, you will be a waste for the rest of your life!"

So, even fewer people wanted to become his disciple.

Lu Xuan sighed.

Recently, the sect entry examination of Dada Sect had ended, and tomorrow was the grand disciple recruitment event. Would anyone become his disciple?

At this moment, a divine rainbow shot from the distance.

Boom!

A gray-robed elder landed on Qingxuan Peak, his face solemn, and he said to Lu Xuan with a serious expression.

"Peak Master Lu, you have not recruited any disciples for six consecutive years! According to the rules of Dada Sect, if you do not recruit any disciples for seven consecutive years, you will be removed from your position as peak master. Do you know this?"

Lu Xuan replied, "I know."

The gray-robed elder's expression was complex, and he continued, "Peak Master Lu, if you are removed from your position as the peak master of Qingxuan Peak, your cultivation and talent do not meet the requirements of an outer sect disciple. Combined with your performance as a peak master over the years, according to the rules of Dada Sect, you will be expelled from Dada Sect. Do you know this?"

Lu Xuan's face twitched, "I know."

Expelled from Dada Sect!

This is a bit too much!

The gray-robed elder nodded, stepped into the air, and left without looking back, "Peak Master Lu, I wish you good luck at tomorrow's grand disciple recruitment event."

Looking at the back of the gray-robed elder, Lu Xuan frowned slightly.

How can I recruit a disciple?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

Use spirit stones to lure them!

His master left him many cultivation resources, and he had only used a small portion over the years.

Tomorrow's disciple recruitment event was his last chance. He no longer hoped to recruit an Empress as a disciple; he just needed to recruit a disciple to keep his position as peak master.

He didn't believe that with so many cultivation resources, he couldn't attract a genius, let alone a cultivation waste.

With this thought, Lu Xuan instantly relaxed and returned to his cave to rest, confident and determined.

He awaited the grand disciple recruitment event of tomorrow!

...

The next day, the grand disciple recruitment event of Dada Sect officially began, directly igniting the area within a million miles!

Dada Sect has a long and ancient history, having produced a Great Emperor. Despite the ancient calamity, it remained steadfast, with a profound foundation.

The "Great Dao Scripture," as the sect's foundational cultivation technique, is one of the few Emperor-level techniques in the Southern Wasteland, ranking in the top ten!

Therefore, Dada Sect has long become a holy land for cultivation in the Southern Wasteland!

Today, countless young people who passed the sect entry examination gathered in the square, hoping to be chosen by a powerful spirit peak.

The young people looked around, their hearts surging as they took in the grandeur of Dada Sect.

Spirit peaks rose from the ground, their spiritual energy extremely dense, forming purple mist that enveloped them, even condensing into a tangible form. On the spirit peaks, countless caves were scattered, appearing like a paradise on earth amidst the rising mist.

In the distance, the trial tower and some secret realms were adorned with brilliant Dao patterns, shining like stars. Even from a distance, one could feel an extremely terrifying power. The entire Dada Sect was majestic, with red light permeating the air, creating a vast and magnificent scene.

Mountains intertwined, rivers surged, and Dada Sect covered an area of tens of thousands of miles, extremely vast. In the sky, auspicious beasts soared, their pleasant calls making everyone feel refreshed and comfortable.

In the crowd, a stunningly beautiful girl in a fiery red dress stood out. Her face was exquisite and tender, her long, slender legs perfectly formed like jade pillars. The wind blew, and the red dress could not conceal her alluring figure.

Countless young cultivators stared at the beautiful girl.

She was Ji Fuyao, the top performer in this examination!

Ji Fuyao's cultivation was at the mid-stage of Great Mystic King, surpassing all the participants in this examination, even exceeding the outer sect elders of Dada Sect!

Her talent even resonated with the sect's treasure, the Great Dao Bell!

The patriarch of Dada Sect was shocked and praised her as a "genius unseen in a thousand years"!

Although the disciple recruitment event had not yet begun, Ji Fuyao had already become the target of many peak masters.

At this moment, a young man in brocade robes, holding a floating fan, approached Ji Fuyao with a gentle smile, "Miss Fuyao, I am Lin Feng, the heir of the Lin family..."

"Get lost!"

Before he could finish, Ji Fuyao coldly interrupted, slowly closing her eyes and ignoring the young man.

She was the Empress of Fuyao Dynasty!

Three thousand years ago, the Fuyao Dynasty engaged in a great battle with another major force, and due to internal traitors, the dynasty fell, with countless casualties and rivers of blood.

She used an ancient secret technique to reincarnate, narrowly escaping the disaster.

However, this ancient secret technique had flaws, leaving her body with many defects, her divine soul shattered, and her Dao foundation incomplete.

The "Great Dao Scripture," the foundational technique of Dada Sect, is known for its harmony with the Heavenly Dao, capable of perfecting a cultivator's Dao foundation and repairing the divine soul. Once one comprehends its ultimate secrets, they can even reach the legendary "Supreme Dao" realm.

This was also the reason why she wanted to join Dada Sect!

She wanted revenge!

She wanted to rise again!

With her talent, she was confident she could obtain the qualification to cultivate the "Great Dao Scripture"!

Moreover, Dada Sect is known for "never abandoning its disciples." If she joined Dada Sect, her old enemies would be wary.

Soon.

Divine rainbows appeared in the sky, like a brilliant star river, with the pressure of the Saint King realm permeating the heavens.

"Boom!"

The sect leader and many peak masters slowly landed in the square.

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes flickered, and she thought to herself that the Imperial Realm patriarchs would not appear today.

As a dominant force in the Southern Wasteland, Dada Sect is far more complex than it appears. Although the sect leader is only at the Saint King realm, there are many Imperial Realm titans in seclusion.

Due to Dada Sect's transcendent and low-key nature, not participating in the power struggles of the Southern Wasteland, the Imperial Realm patriarchs rarely appear unless there is a significant event.

At this moment, the disciples were extremely excited, and the square was filled with noise.

"Quiet!"

The sect leader waved his sleeve and said slowly, "The grand disciple recruitment event of Dada Sect officially begins! Now you can choose a spirit peak to join!"

As the words fell,

The young people immediately became very excited.

"I want to join the Alchemy Peak! I want to become an alchemist!"

"I want to join the Sword Peak..."

"I want to join the Body Cultivation Peak..."

For a moment, the young people rushed towards the various spirit peaks.

Only the place where Lu Xuan stood was empty.

No one came over!

Some peak masters looked at Lu Xuan with mocking smiles, "If Lu Xuan can recruit a disciple today, I'll eat ten pounds of feces!"

"Lu Xuan has not recruited any disciples for seven consecutive years and will soon leave Dada Sect. This is a widely accepted fact!"

"Yes! In the past years, during trials with other major forces, those sages always used Lu Xuan to mock us. In the future, this won't happen anymore."

At this moment, Lu Xuan made his final effort, shouting, "As long as you become my disciple, you can use all the cultivation resources of Qingxuan Peak! You should all know that my master left many spirit stones and elixirs!"

As these words were spoken, the square fell into a dead silence.

Both the elders and the disciples looked at Lu Xuan.

After a moment of silence,

The square became chaotic again!

But still, no one came to Lu Xuan. Instead, the young disciples began to point and laugh at him.

"Ha ha! When I took the examination, my clan's elder told me never to join Qingxuan Peak! Otherwise, I would be a waste for the rest of my life!"

"What's this? My father told me that if I joined Qingxuan Peak, he would break three of my legs!"

"Ah... Lu Xuan's cultivation is even lower than ours, and he still has the nerve to recruit disciples. If I were Lu Xuan, I would have left Dada Sect long ago and not embarrass myself here!"

Seeing this, Lu Xuan's face turned black.

What the hell!

He had used his ultimate move, and no one wanted to join Qingxuan Peak?

Lu Xuan sighed and decided to leave.

It seemed no one wanted to become his disciple!

Just then, a faint voice broke the noise.

"I am willing to join Qingxuan Peak and become Lu Xuan's disciple!"

As the words fell,

The square fell into complete silence, a pin could be heard.

Because the speaker was none other than Ji Fuyao, the top performer in this examination, who had amazed the entire Dada Sect!

Everyone was stunned.

Did they hear correctly?

Ji Fuyao wants to join Qingxuan Peak!?

The sect leader was speechless, looking at Ji Fuyao in shock. They were still discussing with other sages who would take Ji Fuyao as a disciple, and she directly announced that she wanted to join Qingxuan Peak!

Lu Xuan turned around and was directly stunned.

What the hell?

Isn't this Ji Fuyao, the top performer in the examination? He had heard of her.

She wants to become his disciple?

Is this real?

At this moment, the sect leader and others immediately came to Ji Fuyao, directly stopping her, "Fuyao, absolutely not!"

Ji Fuyao remained calm, her eyes shining, "Sect leader, my decision is made!"

The sect leader was speechless, "This child, if Lu Xuan becomes your master, he will make your cultivation plummet."

Lu Xuan's face turned black: "..."

The sages of Sword Peak, Alchemy Peak, Ethereal Peak, and others spoke up, trying to persuade Ji Fuyao, "Child, if you join Qingxuan Peak, you will waste your talent!"

"Lu Xuan himself doesn't understand cultivation and is even inferior to an outer sect disciple. If you become his disciple, it's pure nonsense!"

"Lu Xuan misleads disciples!"

But Ji Fuyao tilted her head slightly, shook her head, and came to Lu Xuan, performing the disciple ceremony, "Master, I bow to you!"

In fact, she had already decided to join Qingxuan Peak.

She had too many secrets, and if she joined another sage's disciples, they would surely be discovered.

Moreover, by becoming Lu Xuan's disciple, in her mind, it was only a master-disciple relationship. She knew that Lu Xuan's cultivation was inferior to an outer sect disciple, so he couldn't control her, and she would be completely free!

At this moment,

"Congratulations, host, for recruiting Empress Fuyao as a disciple! (Empress reincarnated for re-cultivation)"

"Activating the Invincible Disciple Recruitment System! Estimated time: one hour!"

As the words fell,

Lu Xuan was directly shocked, "What the hell?"

Ji Fuyao is actually a reincarnated Empress!

Seeing Lu Xuan's reaction, the sect leader and others were speechless.

The sect leader immediately put on a smiling face, "Lu Xuan, Fuyao is young and doesn't understand the consequences. She wants to become your disciple, but you can refuse her!"

The other sages instantly surrounded Lu Xuan, shouting, "Lu Xuan, refuse her quickly!"
