Bending for Five Pecks of Rice? Sign In a Dou Emperor Ancestor!

"Lonely and downcast, I carried wine as I walked; my heart and guts were shattered, and all in my palm felt weightless."

"Ten years of dreaming of becoming a Dou Emperor, only to earn the name of a faithless frequenter of brothels."

Northwest Continent, Jia Ma Empire, Black Rock City.

A young man in white, his long hair flowing freely, was being driven out by three Dou Zhe guards from Chunxiang Pavilion. Fortunately, Xinyue, the courtesan, generously gave him alms, allowing him to keep his life.

Walking through the streets of Black Rock City, he was utterly destitute. Left with no choice, Ye Changge looked up at the sky and let out a long, grief-stricken howl, trying to vent the resentment in his heart:

"Must I, Ye Changge, a dignified transmigrator, really bend over for five pecks of rice?"

Ten years ago, Ye Changge had transmigrated to the Dou Qi Continent. He had originally thought he would be like other transmigrators, starting out invincible and steamrolling the world, surrounded by wives, concubines, and beauties. Reality, however, slapped him hard across the face. Not only had he failed to awaken a system, he did not possess even a trace of cultivation talent. It was a complete trash-tier beginning. On the very day he transmigrated, all he found was a Sect Master Token.

Fortunately, he had been blessed with a handsome face. After asking around in many places and begging his way along, he finally learned the token's origins and eventually arrived in Black Rock City.

However, as Ye Changge looked at the utterly ruined sect before him, he felt like crying without tears.

"Where is everyone? Where is my sect?"

"Your Sect Master Token fell here! Come out and claim it!"

Yet the only response he received was a loud bang!

He looked into the distance. Because his voice had been a few decibels too loud, a palace that had not yet fully collapsed came crashing down.

It only made the already impoverished sect even worse off.

He had originally thought that, with the merit of delivering the token, he could at least get himself an Outer Disciple position in Ye Emperor Hall!

"Fate really toys with people!"

Then Ye Changge thought of the "plump and wealthy-looking" auntie he had met yesterday. "Young man, you're so handsome. Why have you come begging?"

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

He gritted his teeth and decided to do it!

People were made of iron, and food was steel. Skip one meal, and hunger struck hard!

Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the Sect Master Token and become the Sect Master of Ye Emperor Hall. The Invincible Sect System has successfully activated.

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

"System! Is that you? Bro System!!"

Ye Changge said excitedly.

"Bro System, if you'd come any later, I would've had to sell myself to that rich woman!"

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

This system is the Invincible Sect System, assisting the host in building the number one sect!

The beginner's gift pack has been distributed. This system will issue missions from time to time. Completing them will earn the host huge rewards. Of course, there will be no penalties for failure.

"An invincible sect? Bro System, you're awesome?!"

"Bro System, open the beginner's gift pack!"

Ding! The beginner's gift pack has been opened.

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

Congratulations, host, you have obtained one Dou Qi Cultivation Random Enhancement Card.

Congratulations, host, you have obtained one Sect Level 1 Construction Card.

Instructions for using the items followed.

Golden Summoning Card: Can randomly summon an expert from the Dou Zun Realm to the Dou Emperor Realm.

Dou Qi Cultivation Random Enhancement Card: Can randomly raise the host's Dou Qi cultivation realm, depending entirely on the host's luck.

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

"Good heavens, the rewards in this beginner's gift pack are seriously generous!"

"A random realm based on luck? And a Summoning Card that can summon someone from the Dou Zun Realm to the Dou Emperor Realm? Do you think you're writing a novel? Even novels wouldn't dare write something like this!"

Ye Changge stared at the cards in his mind in shock, repeatedly calling it awesome.

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

"Then what are we waiting for? Use them already!!"

Ye Changge rubbed his hands excitedly.

Drawing from the Random Realm Enhancement Card... Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Dou Ancestor Realm.

Under his expectant gaze, the Realm Enhancement Card landed on the Dou Ancestor Realm and stopped moving.

What the hell? Is my luck really this bad?

Before Ye Changge could say anything else,

a powerful surge of Dou Qi rushed straight into his dantian and coursed through all his meridians. Amid a series of crackling sounds like beans being fried, it felt as though his Ren and Du meridians had been opened. Then came a flood of cultivation methods, Dou techniques, and insights into Dou Qi cultivation.

Dou Qi Level One—Condense a Dou Qi vortex!

Dou Zhe One Star—Nine Stars!

Dou Master One Star—Nine Stars!

Da Dou Shi One Star—Nine Stars!

Dou Emperor One Star... Nine Stars!

Dou Ancestor One Star... Peak!

In an instant, Ye Changge went from an ordinary man incapable of trussing a chicken to a Dou Ancestor Peak Expert. Even within the Jia Ma Empire, he was now the strongest.

"The Dou Ancestor Realm... not bad."

After all, he had just been an ordinary person moments ago.

From what he had learned during his days of begging, the strongest experts in the Jia Ma Empire were only at the Dou Emperor Realm.

In this Jia Ma Empire where Dou Ancestors were as rare as eggs, he, a peak Dou Ancestor expert, held the only real say!

Then Ye Changge looked at the Golden Summoning Card and silently prayed:

"Bro System, I don't dare hope for a Dou Emperor. Just give me a Dou Zun!"

In the current Dou Qi Continent, Dou Emperors had vanished, while Dou Saints considered themselves above the world and remained hidden. Dou Zun experts were already the strongest visible force!

Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully used the Summoning Card. Summoning... Ding! Summoning successful... Congratulations, host, you have summoned a Dou Emperor expert—the Dou Emperor Ancestor of Ye Emperor Hall—Ye Xuan!

"Wow, a golden legend!"

A massive rift tore open in the distant sky, followed by overwhelming Emperor's Might.

Anyone with weak cultivation would have been instantly crushed to death by that Emperor's Might. Naturally, Ye Changge was the one who had summoned him, so any attack from the summon was ineffective against him.

In an instant, experts across the continent sensed it.

"This is... Emperor's Might!"

"How is this possible?!"

For a time, undercurrents surged among the Dou Emperor clans and forces of the Central Continent. They all sent envoys rushing toward the Northwest Continent. Whether to befriend him, pledge allegiance to him, or even become his dog, anything would do. Such was the intimidation of a Dou Emperor expert!

"Hey, you look pretty full of yourself, old man! Yes, you! Stop looking around and come pay respects to your Sect Master."

As the Emperor's Might dissipated, an old man with crane-white hair and a youthful face stood in the distance. He slowly opened his eyes and immediately looked toward Ye Changge. His instincts told him that this person was far from as simple as he appeared. He was dangerous!!

Could this person be above the Dou Emperor Realm...!

Ye Xuan did not dare think further.

"Ye Xuan greets the Sect Master. Thank you, Sect Master, for reviving me."

"Mm. From now on, you will be a Protector Elder of Ye Emperor Hall. The Dou Emperor Realm... should barely be enough!"

"Thank you, Sect Master. This is... Ye Emperor Hall?"

Ye Xuan hurriedly examined the surroundings and terrain. The more he looked, the more familiar it became.

Was this not his Ye Emperor Hall?

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

"What? Is there a problem with Ye Emperor Hall?"

Ye Changge noticed the old man's unusual expression and asked.

"I would not dare. To be honest with you, Sect Master, this old man, Ye Xuan, was the founding Sect Master of Ye Emperor Hall."

"Only now... it has all become ruins."

Truly, no one could escape the erosion of the river of time. Even he, a Dou Emperor, had been erased within it.

"What? The founding Sect Master of Ye Emperor Hall?"

Wasn't that the ancestor of his bargain-bin identity?

Ye Changge had not examined the system interface carefully just now. He had only seen that Ye Xuan was an expert of the Dou Emperor Realm.

Now that he looked closely, this old man really was the ancestor of Ye Emperor Hall!
