Azure Cloud Master, Summoning a Great Emperor

"His hair rose in rage, he leaned upon the rail!"

"Fine rain ceased; he raised his eyes and howled toward the heavens!"

Eastern Domain.

Spirit Province.

Azure Cloud Mountain Range, Azure Cloud Sect.

A White-Clothed Youth stood there, his long hair flowing and his face full of grief and indignation as he howled at the sky, trying to vent the resentment in his heart.

"I, Feng Qingyang, am a proud transmigrator. Must I really bow my back for five pecks of rice?"

Three days ago, he had transmigrated here after a fortuitous encounter. At first, he had been thrilled.

A transmigrator, after all. Shouldn't he be trampling the myriad heavens beneath his feet? Surrounded by immortal maidens and Empresses and the like? Yet reality had rewarded him with a resounding slap across the face.

The reality was that, on the very day he transmigrated, he had picked up a Sect Master Token.

After asking around, he learned that it was the Azure Cloud Sect's Sect Master Token. Then, beneath that person's astonished gaze, he had begged for food all the way here.

Looking at the ruined palace remains before him, Feng Qingyang wanted to cry but had no tears.

Dressed in rags, carrying a bowl, he had begged his way up Azure Cloud Mountain.

"Where is everyone? Where is my sect?"

"Come out already! Your Sect Master has come to bring you warmth!"

Yet the only response was a bang!

He looked into the distance. Merely because his voice had been a few decibels too loud, a half-collapsed palace came crashing down.

It was adding frost to snow for a sect that had never been well-off to begin with.

"What do I do? What do I do!"

"Damn it all!"

A rope always snapped at its thinnest point, and misfortune always sought out the suffering!

He thought of that "plump and prosperous-looking" auntie he had met yesterday.

"Young man, you're so handsome. Why have you come begging?"

"If you have any difficulties, come find Auntie."

He hardened his heart. He would do it!

Man was iron, food was steel; miss one meal and hunger would strike hard!

"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the Sect Master Token and become the Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sect. The Myriad Heavens Divine Sect System has successfully activated."

Just as Feng Qingyang was preparing to head down the mountain, a voice rang out in his mind.

"System! Is that you, buddy?" Feng Qingyang said excitedly.

"Wuwu, buddy, if you'd come any later, you wouldn't have seen me..."

"Host, do not be agitated. The system may be late, but it will never be absent!"

"This system is the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect System, assisting the host in building the Myriad Heavens First Divine Sect!"

"The novice gift pack has been issued. This system will distribute missions at irregular intervals. The host may receive enormous rewards upon completion. Of course, there will be no punishment for failure."

"Myriad Heavens First Divine Sect? Holy shit, I'm going to be rich!"

"System, open the novice gift pack!"

"Ding! The novice gift pack has been opened."

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained one Golden Summoning Card."

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained one Realm Random Upgrade Card."

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained one Sect Level One Construction Card."

Instructions for using the items were attached below.

Golden Summoning Card: Randomly summons a powerful expert from the Great Saint Realm to the Great Emperor Realm.

Realm Random Upgrade Card: Randomly upgrades one's realm without limit, entirely dependent on personal luck.

Sect Construction Card: An indispensable treasure for constructing and developing a sect.

"Good heavens, the rewards in this novice gift pack are truly generous!"

"This is way too powerful...!"

"A realm randomly determined by luck? And a summoning card that can summon Great Saint Realm to Great Emperor Realm experts? Do you think you're writing a novel? Even novels wouldn't dare write something like this!"

Feng Qingyang stared in shock at the cards in his mind, repeatedly exclaiming how damn awesome they were.

"There is only what the host cannot imagine, not what this system cannot accomplish."

"Then what are we waiting for? Use them already!" Feng Qingyang excitedly rubbed his hands together.

"Realm Random Upgrade Card drawing in progress... Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Void Realm."

Before his expectant eyes, the Realm Advancement Card stopped at the Void Realm.

What the hell is this? Is my luck really that bad?

Back then, people had called him the Prince of Luck.

Before Feng Qingyang could say another word,

a powerful surge of spiritual energy rushed straight into his dantian and coursed through every meridian in his body. Accompanied by a series of crackling sounds, his entire body felt incomparably refreshed~

Qi Refinement...

Foundation Establishment...

Golden Core...

Nascent Soul...

Void Peak!

In an instant, Feng Qingyang went from an ordinary person too weak to truss a chicken to the Fifth Realm of cultivation.

Feng Qingyang only felt power filling his entire body. Turning mountains and overturning seas, splitting great mountains with a palm—none of it would be difficult.

"The Void Realm, huh? Not bad. After all, one breath ago, I was still an ordinary person."

From what he had learned while begging over the past few days, he already knew the realm divisions of this world.

Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Void Realm, Spirit Transformation, True Person, Void-Shattering Realm, Saint-Entering Realm, Saint-Manifesting Realm, Great Saint Realm, Saint King Realm, Supreme Realm, Great Emperor Realm.

In this era where Saint Kings did not emerge and Supremes and Great Emperors did not show themselves, Great Saints could be said to be the absolute rulers in plain sight.

Feng Qingyang looked at the Golden Summoning Card and silently prayed, "Great Emperor, Great Emperor!"

Even if a Great Emperor did not come, a Great Saint would be good enough.

"Come forth!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully used the Summoning Card. Summoning... Ding! Summoning successful... Congratulations, host, you have summoned a Great Emperor Realm expert—Azure Cloud Sect ancestor Li Qingyun."

"Wow, a golden legend!"

"The luck of my Prince of Luck title is back!"

The distant sky was torn apart as space itself shattered, followed by vast Emperor's Might.

Anyone with a lower realm would be instantly crushed to death by this Emperor's Might. Of course, Feng Qingyang had summoned him, so any attack from the summoned person was ineffective against him.

In an instant, experts across the continent sensed it.

This was... Emperor's Might!

Another Great Emperor had appeared in the world! To the east, quickly!

Undercurrents stirred among the major forces. They all dispatched members toward the east—whether to befriend him, pledge allegiance to him, or even become a dog beneath his feet.

This was the influence of a Great Emperor, the strongest of all.

As the Emperor's Might dispersed, a White-Haired Youthful-Looking Old Man stood in the void not far away and slowly opened his eyes.

"Haha, I, the Azure Cloud Great Emperor, have returned!"

Li Qingyun laughed heartily.

Then he lowered his head and looked down. In the unseen depths, he sensed a great terror locking onto him. His instincts told him that if he did not heed this person's words, he would die a miserable death!

Could this person be above the Great Emperor Realm...?!

Li Qingyun did not dare think further. He cupped his hands and said, "Li Qingyun greets the Sect Master. Thank you, Sect Master, for reviving me."

"Mhm. From now on, you will guard the sect. Great Emperor Realm... it will barely suffice, I suppose!"

Feng Qingyang said as he sized up this Great Emperor ancestor.

His heart instantly brimmed with lofty ambitions. This was only the beginning—Azure Cloud would have everything.

"Thank you, Sect Master. Azure Cloud... Azure Cloud Sect?"

Li Qingyun hurriedly examined the surrounding terrain and environment. The more he looked, the more familiar it became.

Was this not his Azure Cloud Sect?

But how had it become so ruined? Aside from this mysterious and powerful Sect Master, there was nothing but rubble!

"What? Is there some problem with the Azure Cloud Sect?" Feng Qingyang noticed the old man's strange reaction and asked.

"I would not dare. To be honest with you, Sect Master, this old man, Li Qingyun, is the Founding Ancestor of the Azure Cloud Sect."

"It is only that now... it has all become ruins. Time truly is the greatest weapon of all."

Had he himself not also fallen within the river of time?

"What? Azure Cloud Sect's ancestor?"

Feng Qingyang had not examined the system interface carefully before. He had only seen that the man was a Great Emperor Realm expert.

Now that he looked, he really was the Azure Cloud Old Ancestor!

"I'm now the Azure Cloud Sect Master, so doesn't that make this old man my ancestor?"

As far as he knew, tens of millions of years ago, the Azure Cloud Sect had been called the Azure Cloud Emperor Sect. Its Founding Ancestor had been a Great Emperor Realm expert. Later, after several great wars, it declined and became an insignificant force.

That was why even passersby had looked at him with contempt and surprise.

He had not thought that much about it, all right? He had only wanted a full meal!
