In the Divine Continent Realm, Pingzhou, Misty Peak.
"Disciple understands Master's unfulfilled wish, and is even more concerned about Junior Sister..."
"But, Master, please rest assured and go to the Pure Land. This disciple will definitely bring the Divine Sword Sect to glory and bring Junior Sister back as soon as possible."
Before the tomb stood a young man in a tight-fitting white robe.
The young man's name was Lin Feng, and he was less than half a year away from turning eighteen. He was a transmigrator.
The world he was in valued martial arts and revered strength.
The strong possessed the power to move mountains and drain seas, and some mighty beings could cause the heavens to collapse and the earth to crack with a wave of their hand.
The weak were like ants, with no say whatsoever, and could even lose their lives at any moment.
As a transmigrator, Lin Feng's luck could be considered very good, or very bad.
His luck was very bad because he hadn't received any benefits in the three years since he transmigrated. Systems, awakenings, and everything else were unrelated to him.
His luck was very good because after transmigrating, he became the personal disciple of the Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect, at least ensuring he had food and clothing, and lived a carefree life.
However, although the Divine Sword Sect had a grand name, it was a declining and truly small sect.
The entire sect consisted of only Lin Feng and his Master, plus a Junior Sister he had never met.
Now that his Master had passed away, Lin Feng was the only one left in the Divine Sword Sect.
The position of Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect naturally fell to Lin Feng, making him a true commander of an empty army.
Looking around, the sect was filled with crumbling walls and ruins, as desolate as could be.
Even the main gate had half collapsed due to disrepair.
It was clearly an incredibly desolate and dilapidated temple, with no sign of the might of a martial arts sect.
"Sigh, Master, what can I say about you? You went out this time to find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for your disciple to break through to the Intermediate Qi Cultivation realm. Your disciple appreciates the thought."
"But how could you clash with the Iron Sword Sect over these external possessions and lose your life..."
Lin Feng's face held a smile, but his eyes were filled with tears. "Master, I will definitely avenge you for this!"
"If the Iron Sword Sect took your life, this disciple will slaughter their entire clan one day!"
He slowly clenched his fists, his expression firm and ferocious.
For the past three years, Master and disciple had depended on each other. If his Master hadn't taken him in, Lin Feng would probably have turned to dust.
Therefore, in Lin Feng's heart, his Master was already like family.
Now, the only family he had in this world was killed, how could Lin Feng not be enraged?
He remembered this vengeance, and one day he would personally kill his enemy!
Currently, Lin Feng had three major tasks before him.
One: To bring the Divine Sword Sect to glory and make its name known throughout the Divine Continent Realm!
Two: To find the Iron Sword Sect and avenge his Master!
Three: To find his Junior Sister when circumstances permit and protect her!
However, any one of these tasks was as difficult as ascending to heaven for the current Lin Feng!
The Divine Sword Sect was left with only him, a commander of an empty army. He had no connections, no resources, and no strength. How could he strengthen the Divine Sword Sect?
Let alone bring it to glory, much less make it famous throughout the Divine Continent Realm!
As for revenge, it could only be empty talk!
Lin Feng's strength was merely that of a novice who had just stepped into the Martial Path, in the Body Refinement realm.
In Yanhuang Kingdom's Yicheng City, where he was located, martial arts realms were clearly distinguished by strength, from low to high: Primary Body Refinement, Intermediate Qi Cultivation, Advanced Spirit Refining, and Top-tier Fusion.
Primary Body Refinement was further divided into: First Stage Skin Refining Realm, Second Stage Bone Forging Realm, Third Stage Sinew Quenching Realm, and Fourth Stage Dual Cultivation Realm.
Intermediate Qi Cultivation included: Fifth Stage Qi Gathering Realm, Sixth Stage Qi Transformation Realm, Seventh Stage Qi Control Realm, and Eighth Stage Form Manifestation Realm.
Lin Feng had only heard of the realms above in legends. Those super experts could overturn a mountain with a single kick...
They were like Immortals, with unparalleled combat power and earth-shattering divine abilities!
And the Iron Sword Sect was a renowned major sect within a radius of ten thousand miles of Yicheng City. It had countless elite disciples and a multitude of strong individuals, with even peak Intermediate Martial Artists in the Qi Transformation realm guarding it.
With Lin Feng's strength at the Primary Body Refinement Dual Cultivation realm, seeking revenge against the Iron Sword Sect would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
And given the Iron Sword Sect's methods, they would likely send powerful individuals to attack the Divine Sword Sect soon to eliminate any future trouble.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng felt a headache coming on...
Did he not want revenge and to strengthen the Divine Sword Sect?
No, he wanted it more than anyone!
He wished he could storm the Iron Sword Sect, slap his enemies to death, make the Iron Sword Sect kneel and call him daddy, and make the Divine Sword Sect famous overnight.
But he also knew his own limitations!
Any random disciple of theirs was someone Lin Feng couldn't afford to provoke. If they attacked, he might not even survive...
What should I do now?
Run?
I don't know this place, where can I run? Can I outrun the Iron Sword Sect's spies?
Don't run?
Wait for the Iron Sword Sect's experts to destroy me?
"Ding! Target host locked, Heaven-Defying Mortal System is activating!"
"System activation complete, binding complete!"
As his thoughts swirled, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Hearing this voice, Lin Feng was stunned for three seconds, then his eyes suddenly lit up.
Ever since he transmigrated to the Divine Continent Realm, he had been waiting for the System to arrive every moment for three years.
He had been waiting eagerly!
Heaven was merciful, and he had finally waited!
"Ding! Seeing that the host, as a dignified Descendant of Yanhuang, has achieved nothing after transmigrating, is incredibly trash, and is more fallen than any before or after, the System is furious and has decided to display the might of the Descendants of Yanhuang by automatically upgrading everything for the host!"
"Ding! Residential conditions upgrade commencing, resource replenishment upgrade commencing..."
"Congratulations to the host, your sect has obtained the main peak, Heaven-Defying Peak, and thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Peaks and seventy-two Earthly Fiend Peaks as side peaks!"
"Congratulations to the host, your sect has obtained a Xuanhuang Hall!"
"Congratulations to the host, your sect has obtained a complete mountain gate!"
"Congratulations to the host, your sect has obtained a Chasm Rainbow Bridge!"
"Congratulations to the host, your sect has obtained the Artifact Forging and Pill Refining Peak!"
"Congratulations to the host, your sect has obtained a Merit Transmission Tower!"
"Congratulations to the host, your sect has obtained an Immortal Herb Garden!"
"Congratulations to the host, your sect has obtained an Exotic Beast Garden!"
"..."
A string of messages left Lin Feng completely stunned!
What the heck?
The [Heaven-Defying Mortal] System?
It can automatically upgrade? And everything related to the host?
Oh my god, as expected of a System, it doesn't make a sound until it does, and when it does, it's astonishing!
Rumble!
Amidst the shock, the wind surged, the earth shook, and lightning flashed and thundered continuously...
In an instant, the entire Divine Sword Sect was enveloped in a dazzling nine-colored light.
The scene before him was like a myth!
Peaks rose from the ground, palaces descended from the sky, and auspicious energies appeared out of thin air...
Especially the Heaven-Defying Main Peak, as far as the eye could see, it soared into the Nine Heavens, like a peerless divine weapon overlooking all beings, making one unable to resist prostrating in worship.
A palace on the main peak was faintly visible, shrouded in swirling mist, like an immortal palace.
Connected to the main peak were one hundred and eight majestic side peaks, arranged according to the positions of the thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Stars and seventy-two Earthly Fiend Stars, incredibly profound.
The Artifact Forging and Pill Refining Peak, Exotic Beast Garden, Immortal Herb Garden, and Merit Transmission Tower were also distributed harmoniously.
Between the main and side peaks was an arched white jade bridge, one end disappearing into the clouds and the other leading down the mountain, its grandeur unprecedented!
The dilapidated mountain gate had also been completely renewed. White jade pillars stood on either side, and two carved jade guardian beasts looked majestic, exuding an imposing aura.
Especially the three-zhang-long plaque, the words "Divine Sword Sect" on it actually contained astonishing Sword Intent. If any Sword Cultivator saw it, they would surely fall into enlightenment, seeking to comprehend even a little!
The entire Divine Sword Sect had undergone a complete transformation. The original state of utter ruin had been replaced by the current heavenly paradise.
As time passed, small buildings shrouded in spiritual energy one by one revealed their true forms...
Each building was inscribed with wisps of Dao Rhyme Laws. Once one managed to comprehend even a little, it would greatly enhance a martial artist's state of mind.
In less than fifteen minutes, the Divine Sword Sect, which was originally in ruins and devoid of spiritual energy, had become a blessed land for cultivators.
Even the sky showed anomalies, with illusory figures of auspicious beasts flashing, as if celebrating the rebirth of the Divine Sword Sect.
To put it bluntly, with its current scale of construction, the Divine Sword Sect was already comparable to some major sects.
"Tsk tsk, a System is indeed a System, simply incredibly awesome."
Looking at the transformed Divine Sword Sect, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh again.
With this [Heaven-Defying Mortal] System, it would be effortless to make the sect flourish, and it would be easy and enjoyable to get revenge.
Hmph, Iron Sword Sect, I'll soon make you kneel and call me daddy...
Just then, a map of the Divine Sword Sect's layout suddenly appeared in his mind. Various buildings of the Divine Sword Sect materialized on the map, like a three-dimensional holographic image.
To Lin Feng's surprise, these buildings could be adjusted according to his will. Amidst his delight, he immediately made minor adjustments according to his preferences.
"Ding! The sect buildings owned by the host have been upgraded."
"Ding! Sensing that the Fortune of the host's sect's main peak is on the verge of depletion, the System feels uncomfortable and proactively offers a Fortune Golden Dragon."
"Ding! The System sees that the host's sect mountain gate lacks imposing presence and feels it's a disgrace, so it proactively offers the Sect Protecting Grand Array and the Gate-Shattering Divine Tablet."
"Ding! The System senses that the host's strength is at the Fourth Stage Dual Cultivation Realm, which is truly trash and unworthy of a Descendant of Yanhuang. It proactively offers the [Chaos Dao Body] disciple template and the [Hegemon Body] disciple template, and gifts a one-time Core Formation Peak attack, the cultivation technique [Universe Divine Art], and the Heavenly Secrets Art."
