The West Wing.
The moment Ye Xiaoqin swallowed the Nine-Turn Body Sculpting Pill, he felt as if he were enveloped by a warm cluster of fire.
It traveled down his throat, spreading to his chest, then to his lower abdomen, before surging through his limbs and bones.
He closed his eyes and clenched his jaw.
Did it hurt?
Not really.
But it was incredibly itchy!
An itch that seeped out from the seams of his bones, from the depths of his meridians, from every single cell.
It felt as though something was growing, spreading, and restructuring inside him.
Veins bulged on Ye Xiaoqin's forehead, large beads of sweat rolled down, and the clothes on his back were quickly soaked through.
Yet, he didn't utter a single sound.
This bit of pain and itchiness was much lighter than when his Spirit Bone was ripped out, much lighter than his crawl from the foot of the mountain to the sect gates.
He could endure it.
No, he even felt... it was somewhat comfortable.
The sensation of broken things inside his body being reconnected one by one, the feeling of a dried riverbed being replenished with flowing water, the feeling of a shattered mirror being pieced back together bit by bit.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Ye Xiaoqin suddenly opened his eyes.
He looked down at his hands; the wounds he had scraped open while climbing the mountain had completely healed, leaving not even a scar.
The meridians in his body were restored.
Not just restored.
He could feel that those once-shattered meridians were now more than twice as wide as before, like a narrow country dirt road expanded into a grand official highway.
His Dantian was also repaired.
The walls of his Dantian were more than twice as thick as before, and its capacity had expanded significantly.
Ye Xiaoqin took a deep breath, feeling the spiritual energy enter through his nose and mouth, slowly flowing along his meridians into his Dantian.
Only one thing was a pity.
His Spirit Bone had completely disappeared.
His Spirit Body was entirely gone!
Ye Xiaoqin lowered his head and remained silent for a moment.
Then he raised his head and took a deep breath.
If it's gone, it's gone.
He had already picked his life back up from the brink of death; what else couldn't he let go of?
Just then—
He felt something move inside his body.
It wasn't his meridians, nor his Dantian, nor spiritual energy.
It was something deeper, more primal, something that seemed to slumber at the very bottom of his bloodline.
Ye Xiaoqin's body trembled violently.
A majestic power surged from the depths of his bone marrow, spreading along his skeleton to his limbs and bones.
The feeling was as if something had awakened.
He didn't know what it was.
He assumed the effects of the Nine-Turn Body Sculpting Pill hadn't completely passed, thinking this was a side effect of the pill.
Ye Xiaoqin clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his palms, and his eyes suddenly grew a bit sore.
Father!
Mother!
Your son is not crippled!
He took a deep breath, rolled out of bed, and fell to his knees with a thud, facing the direction outside the window where Lin Yan was, and heavily kowtowed three times.
He didn't speak, for no words were sufficient to express Ye Xiaoqin's feelings at this moment.
He only silently recited a single sentence in his heart—
To be born but not raised, a severed finger can repay; to be born and raised, a severed head can repay; to not be born but raised, a hundred lifetimes are hard to repay!
Master, your kindness to your disciple, your disciple has engraved in his heart!
In this life, I cannot finish repaying it.
In the next life, I will continue to repay it.

...
In the courtyard.
Lin Yan was lying on his rocking chair basking in the sun, still wondering in his mind when Ye Xiaoqin's 70% loyalty would go up.
Then—
The system notification sounds exploded in his mind like a boiling pot, one after another, like rapid-fire.
Holy crap! It upgraded!
Lin Yan sat bolt upright from the rocking chair with a swish.
This kid Ye Xiaoqin is really awesome!
One pill down, and it directly increased his loyalty by 10%.
Sure enough, disciples still need to be cultivated from a young age!
After all, children are easy to trick... ahem, no, easy to cultivate.
The corners of Lin Yan's mouth curled up wildly, unable to be suppressed.
Two Sect Master trait draw opportunities, two disciple trait draw opportunities, the sect territory expanded to a ten-mile radius, and Outer Sect authority unlocked.
A massive harvest!
Sys, translate for me, what is Outer Sect authority.
[Outer Sect authority means you can recruit outer sect disciples. The initial loyalty requirement is reduced to 20%, and they can enjoy partial privileges of core disciples.]
Initial loyalty over 20% is enough?
Lin Yan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, Does that count towards the sect's population?
[Why wouldn't it?]
Lin Yan felt great.
So this was what Outer Sect authority was all about!
He then took a deep breath and opened the upgraded system panel.
[Strongest Sect System 2.0]
[Host: Lin Yan]

[Sect Buildings: Sect Core, Skill Transmission Hall, Dao Enlightenment Tree, Cultivation Pavilion (Pending Activation)]
[Sect Master Trait Draw Opportunities *2]
[Disciple Trait Draw Opportunities *2]
...
Tsk tsk tsk, the scale instantly expanded to 15 people. If I recruit to full capacity, that's 15 years of cultivation power a day!
To be honest, with two disciples—one with the Lunar Dao Body and the other with the Desolate Ancient Holy Body—Lin Yan was feeling a mountain of pressure!
Sys, what is the Cultivation Pavilion?
[Cultivation Pavilion: Based on the sect's spirit vein level, disciples cultivating inside can receive an additional speed bonus!]
[Note: The current sect has no spirit vein, unable to place.]
Lin Yan nodded.
If Qingyun Mountain had a spirit vein, would it have been his turn to take it?
Next, Lin Yan looked at his total of 2 Sect Master trait draw opportunities.
He'd put the disciple traits aside for now; the traits of his two great disciples were already fierce enough.
Sys, draw for me!
Give me something good!
Can I get a trait that can be used outside the sect too!
[Ding! Drawing Sect Master Trait...]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the trait: Shrinking the Ground to an Inch]
[Shrinking the Ground to an Inch: One step covers a hundred miles. Within a hundred miles, you can arrive in an instant! Ignores terrain and obstacles, consumes no spiritual energy, and has no cooldown time!]
Holy mother of god!
Lin Yan absolutely couldn't sit still anymore.
No range limit, no range limit...
In other words, it could also be used outside the sect.
And it's a spatial-type trait!
Within a hundred miles, you can arrive in an instant...
Isn't this just teleportation?
Although Lin Yan didn't know how fast those Golden Core Ancestors or Nascent Soul Old Monsters were, he figured they probably couldn't achieve a hundred miles in a single step!
One mile equals five hundred meters; a hundred miles is fifty thousand meters!
One step covered fifty kilometers.
And there was no cooldown; it could be used continuously.
In other words, if he sprinted with all his might, taking five or six steps a second, he would be moving at two to three hundred thousand meters per second.
What kind of concept was that?
That was one-thousandth the speed of light!
"Excellent!"
Lin Yan was overjoyed, wishing he could run down the mountain right now to test it out.
Although this trait lacked offensive power, it was absolutely a divine life-saving skill.
To be honest, ever since he transmigrated a few days ago, Lin Yan had been laying low on the mountain, feeling incredibly stifled.
After transmigrating to a new world, who wouldn't want to go out and explore?
Even just visiting the entertainment houses to listen to some music would be nice.
But considering he had been steadily gaining two years' worth of cultivation every day, as long as he laid low for half a year or so, he would have more than enough power to protect himself. There was really no need to risk going down the mountain.
However, there just had to be a little loli who got handsy with him every single day.
Lin Yan had been holding back so much that it was agonizing.
But now, things were different. He could finally go down the mountain and take a look around.
"Phew!"
Lin Yan took a deep breath.
"Sys, keep drawing!"
He still had one Sect Master trait left. He wanted to see what other heaven-defying trait he could draw.
[Ding! Drawing Sect Master trait...]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Sect Master trait: Mountain Moving.]
[Mountain Moving: As the name implies, allows the user to move mountains with no weight limit!]
"Great, another trait with no limits."
Lin Yan's eyes grew brighter and brighter as a crazy plan took shape in his mind.
"When the time comes, I'll see who has an abundance of spirit veins and just move a couple over."
"Or, I could just carry Qingyun Mountain with me. That works too!"
He even thought of an even more outrageous maneuver: strolling around while literally carrying Qingyun Mountain.
That way, no matter where he went, he could still use [Guard the Mountain Gate] and [Law of the Spoken Word].
Just thinking about it was quite thrilling!
"It's about time I went down the mountain for a stroll!"
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
pression Bureau] Transported to a fantasy world overrun by demons and monsters, Gu Qingfeng becomes a jailer in the Demon Suppression Prison of the Great Yan Dynasty's Demon Suppression Bureau. From this point on, bizarre cases frequently occur in the Demon Suppression Prison, once known as hell on earth and infamous for its gloomy, terrifying atmosphere! Why do the demons and monsters in the prison wail miserably every night? Why has the corpse demon, capable of transforming into various beauties, donned black stockings and switched careers to become a foot massage therapist? Why has the eye demon, expert in soul-snatching and illusions, turned into a VR headset? Why is the fox spirit performing otaku dances? Are all these occurrences a twisted expression of demonic nature, or a descent into moral depravity? After peeling away layer upon layer of mystery, all clues ultimately point to a jailer named Gu Qingfeng. Gu Qingfeng: "Hehehe... My dear demons and monsters, whose card shall we flip today?"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
