The Primordial Forbidden Zone.
Inside a dilapidated palace.
A young man in ragged clothes gazed into the distance, his thoughts unknown.
"Ding-dong, system charging complete. Beginning loading."
One percent, two percent...
As it loaded rapidly, the sudden voice pulled Ye Changge back to reality.
"A system? My golden finger?"
"Hahaha, I'm a transmigrator with a system too."
Ye Changge was extremely excited.
Ye Changge had transmigrated from Earth ten years ago. He had thought he could command the winds and clouds and live a lifetime of proud arrogance, but reality was cruel.
When he opened his eyes, he discovered that he had arrived amid a cluster of dilapidated buildings. After ten years of exploration, he finally learned that this place was the former supreme overlord, the Primordial Forbidden Zone.
"System loading complete. Host, is there anything you would like to ask?"
"Fuck, system, do you know how I've lived these past ten years?"
As he spoke, he threw back his head and roared at the sky.
Recalling scene after scene from those ten years, those days of going hungry for nine meals out of three days, he felt like killing the system right then.
"I know, so this system plans to compensate you?"
"System, tell me honestly. How long have you been here?"
"Ten years."
Ye Changge was utterly dumbfounded.
"I didn't have enough energy before, so I've been charging all this time."
"Fine, then what are you going to compensate me with?"
"Great Emperor cultivation and the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, the Primordial Sword."
Great Emperor cultivation, an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon-wasn't this the sort of thing only novels dared to write?
Now that he had encountered it himself, he immediately forgave the system and began accepting the Great Emperor cultivation.
As the system poured it into him, a terrifying presence swept across the nine heavens and ten lands.
Countless mighty figures could no longer be held down by their coffin lids and burst out of their coffins one after another.
"This is imperial might. How is this possible? The Desolate Ancient Continent hasn't seen a Great Emperor in over ten thousand years. Could a golden age be descending upon this generation?"
Deep underground, a black coffin shattered open. A white-haired old man wreathed in deathly Qi opened his eyes, looked toward the Primordial Forbidden Zone, and muttered to himself.
At the same time, powerful cultivators burst from their coffins in the various holy lands.
"That direction... could it be that forbidden zone?"
Shock filled everyone's faces.
The imperial might vanished as quickly as it had come.
"So this is Great Emperor cultivation? It really is powerful."
Ye Changge spoke excitedly.
"System, where's the Primordial Sword?"
Ye Changge smiled faintly, feeling an urge to get his hands on it immediately.
Space split open, and a longsword radiating dark-gold light flew out of the rift.
It landed directly in Ye Changge's hand.
"What a fine sword."
As his words fell, he appeared in the mountain forest beside the Primordial Forbidden Zone. With a single downward slash, a giant spotted pig was instantly cut in two.
Then he built a roaring fire and began roasting it.
Three hours later, after he had eaten and drunk his fill, the system's voice rang out.
"Ding-dong, a ten-star genius has been detected being hunted down. Hurry and take him as your disciple. The rewards are plentiful."
"What rewards? Let me see."
"Upon completing the mission, you can receive the following rewards: one Supreme Bone of Thunder, one Sect Construction Card, two Saint Summoning Cards, and one Supreme art manual."
Ye Changge's eyes lit up at the rewards. With the system's help, he instantly vanished.
In a valley in the Fire Cloud Mountain Range.
"Lei Qianshan, run! Why aren't you running anymore? Go on!"
Three men in black looked at the purple-robed young man just over three meters away, their faces full of mockery.
"Lei Qianhong's dogs! Even if I die today, I'll drag you down with me!"
As he spoke, lightning crackled over his body. The terrifying lightning began to surge wildly, like frenzied snakes dancing.
He, Lei Qianshan, had been born with a Supreme Bone, only to have his older brother dig it out. Now, his brother had even sent men to hunt him down.
There was nothing more miserable than this in the meaning of living.
"An ant who hasn't even reached Golden Core thinks he can drag us down with him?"
As he spoke, one of the men in black struck out with his palm, and a raging lion of flame instantly lunged forward.
With a smack, Lei Qianshan was sent flying backward.
Pfft!
He spat out mouthful after mouthful of blood, instantly suffering grievous injuries and losing the ability to fight again.
Ye Changge appeared overhead, his heart brimming with excitement as he watched the scene.
"Born a Supreme, only to have his older brother dig out his Supreme Bone-isn't this a textbook son of destiny?"
He was very familiar with this plot.
His figure flashed, and he appeared before Lei Qianshan.
"How dare you! You think you can touch the disciple I've chosen? Die!"
As Ye Changge spoke, he struck with his palm from a distance, instantly killing one of the Golden Core men in black.
The other two men's expressions changed drastically at the sight.
"Brat, are you tired of living? You dare meddle in our Lei Clan's affairs?"
"Exactly! If you know what's good for you, get lost. The Lei Clan isn't something you can afford to provoke. Our ancestor is a Spirit Transformation expert!"
Ye Changge froze slightly at their words.
The cultivation realms of the Desolate Ancient Continent were divided into: Body Tempering, Qi Refining, Innate, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Void Refining, Body Integration, Mahayana, Martial King, Martial Venerable, Spirit Body, Dao Integration, Saint, Great Saint, Supreme, Quasi-Emperor, and Great Emperor.
The Spirit Transformation realm was indeed quite impressive. They did indeed have the right to act arrogantly.
"Lei Qianshan, correct?"
"Senior, you've gotten yourself into trouble. You killed one of them, so the ancestor may have sensed it. Hurry and leave. Don't worry about me."
Naturally, Lei Qianshan had not lost his reason. Reason told him that he could not bring trouble upon the other man.
He knew very well how terrifying a Spirit Transformation expert was. Before such a person, there was no possibility of escape at all.
"I am the lord of the Primordial Forbidden Zone. I see that you have an extraordinary physique and exceptional talent. Would you be willing to take me as your master?"
"Disciple Lei Qianshan pays his respects to Master."
Upon hearing the words "Primordial Forbidden Zone," Ye Changge dropped to his knees on the spot.
After kowtowing three times, he promptly passed out.
"Congratulations, host. The rewards have also arrived. Please check them."
"Brat, you're courting death by taking in a traitor of our Lei Clan!"
As they spoke, the two Golden Core cultivators chose to self-detonate, intending to kill Ye Changge.
But what happened before their eyes left them stunned. They could not self-detonate.
"You still think you can self-detonate before me? Die."
As his words fell, he took all their treasures, and the two instantly exploded into blood mist.
Soon, he returned to the Primordial Forbidden Zone.
"System, use the Sect Construction Card."
"Ding-dong, congratulations, host. The Sect Construction Card has also been used successfully."
Then buildings appeared behind him, with towering structures rising among them in a magnificent sight. Above the main gate were four large characters, their strokes like soaring dragons and dancing phoenixes: Primordial Forbidden Zone.
"Not bad, not bad. Now that's more like it."
Three hours later, Lei Qianshan slowly woke.
Waves of fragrance wafted into his nose.
"That smells wonderful. Where am I?"
"My good disciple, get up and have some roast meat."
Master and disciple wolfed down an entire pig. At that moment, a bone radiating purple light appeared.
"This is the Supreme Bone of Thunder, supreme within the lineage of the Dao of Thunder. It happens to match the origin of your Supreme Bone. Take it and fuse with it."
"Thank you, Master. This disciple will cultivate diligently and will not disgrace you."
Ye Changge smiled in gratification.
An hour later, the Supreme Bone had successfully fused.
Under the baptism of fusing with the Supreme Bone of Thunder, his cultivation, originally at the Innate realm, successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
"Congratulations, host. Your eldest disciple, Lei Qianshan, has broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm. The feedback reward is: Lightning Pool. Note: the Lightning Pool is lightning liquid formed from the evolution of the most powerful lightning between heaven and earth. Those who cultivate their physical bodies, or lightning cultivators, will gain multiplied effects by cultivating within it. Placement within the sect for disciples' cultivation is recommended."
Hearing the voice, Ye Changge smiled faintly.
