“Where is the Pavilion Master?”
“Where are the others?”
Elder Li Yinglian asked gravely, “Could it be that they don’t know I’ve emerged from seclusion? Why haven’t they come to greet me yet?”
Upon hearing this, the few elders shivered and avoided eye contact, not daring to speak.
“Hm?”
Li Yinglian sensed something was off and immediately frowned.
A wave of pressure emanated from him as he waved his hand, grabbing one of the elders.
“Tell me, what exactly is going on?”
“Please calm down, Ancestor! The sect leader and the other elites have already left the sect.” The elder responded in panic.
“Left? Why would so many people leave the sect all at once?”
“Has there been a sect war?”
Li Yinglian demanded.
“No, not that.”
The elder knelt on the ground, his eyes darting around as he said, “They… they went to seek a master!”
“Seek a master?”
Li Yinglian frowned and barked, “What master?”
“Reporting to the Ancestor, it’s because another Eighth-Grade Array Master has appeared within the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent. This Array Master’s emergence has shaken the entire continent. Not only the sect leader, but all the major powers and young talents across the continent have rushed over.”
The few elders stammered.
“Hmph, nonsense!”
Upon hearing this, Li Yinglian’s hand slammed down, reducing the nearby table to dust.
“Isn’t an Eighth-Grade Array Master just an Eighth-Grade Array Master? Am I not an Eighth-Grade Array Master myself?”
“Have I not taught you all enough?”
“The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Array Pavilion, leading a large group to seek a master elsewhere—what kind of behavior is that!”
Li Yinglian’s anger flared.
Below him, the many elders all knelt down, not daring to breathe heavily.
“Send an order.”
“Have the people of the Heavenly Array Pavilion return immediately.”
“Also, spread the news of my emergence from seclusion!”
Li Yinglian commanded.
“Yes!”
The elders dared not argue and quickly carried out the order.
Not long after.
The news of Li Yinglian, also an Eighth-Grade Array Master, emerging from seclusion spread across the entire Heavenly Array Immortal Continent, sparking much discussion.
After all, the simultaneous emergence of two Eighth-Grade Array Masters was a rare occurrence even in the history of the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent.
Over the next few days.
Not only did Li Yinglian summon back the members of the Heavenly Array Pavilion, but he also changed out of his dusty appearance from emerging from seclusion, donning the black robe unique to Array Masters.
On his chest was the distinctive badge representing an Eighth-Grade Array Master.
Meanwhile, the Dao Enlightenment Hall was cleaned spotless by the servants.
Afterward, every day Li Yinglian would lecture in the Dao Enlightenment Hall.
He knew well that to ensure the Heavenly Array Pavilion remained unshakable in the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent, unity among its members was crucial.
And having an Eighth-Grade Array Master like himself personally teaching would undoubtedly attract countless young talents from the continent.
However, he was mistaken.
He lectured in the Dao Enlightenment Hall for half a month.
Yet, the number of people who came to listen was pitifully small. Occasionally, a few stragglers would appear, individuals so obscure that no one had even heard of them.
“Hmph!”
Li Yinglian was furious.
“Where are the people?”
“The Heavenly Array Immortal Continent is vast, with countless prodigies. Why, when I emerge from seclusion, do so few come?”
As he spoke, his sharp gaze fell upon those below him.
“Do you know the importance of this for the future of the Heavenly Array Pavilion? Have you been negligent and not spread the news properly?”
“We dare not, Ancestor!”
Those below all knelt down, panicked.
“Then why is no one coming?” Li Yinglian demanded.
Sect Leader Yun Guang, unable to hold back, explained timidly, “Reporting to the Ancestor, although the news of your emergence has been spread, right now everyone in the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent is gathered in Tianlun City. Some might not have received the news, and others are likely still pondering how to approach that other Eighth-Grade Array Master!”
“So it can only be said that the timing of your emergence is… not ideal.”
“Not ideal?”
“Hmph!”
“I have roamed the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent for ten thousand years. I entered the ranks at ten, reached the Fourth Grade by a hundred, and a thousand years ago I was already an Eighth-Grade Array Master. Do you think I can’t match a mere upstart?”
Li Yinglian stood up, his voice thundering, “I refuse to believe that with my reputation, I can’t suppress this newcomer!”
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
