Bound to the Invincible System, signing in for the peak Emperor Realm

(Come on, come on, class rep, collect everyone's brains first. I'll give them back after graduation, okay? 0 3 0)

The lower realm.

Atop a towering peak that pierced the clouds.

A handsome man in blue robes, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, slowly opened his eyes.

The blue-robed man was none other than Li Xiao, who had transmigrated from Blue Star eighteen years ago.

Li Xiao looked around at his surroundings and could not help giving a bitter chuckle.

Before he could say another word.

"Ding!"

An icy mechanical voice rang out in Li Xiao's mind.

Li Xiao froze, then probed with a hint of excitement:

"System?"

"Xiao! It's me. Your system's here."

The stiff mechanical voice answered again.

"Beep! Congratulations, young master, on binding to the Invincible System. Your system will provide attentive service from now on."

Li Xiao perked up.

A golden finger! This was absolutely a golden finger.

Having spent years immersed in webnovels in his previous life, how could he not know about systems?

Wasn't this just a disguised version of a certain Flame Emperor's old grandpa in a ring? As a member of the transmigrator army, he had spent eighteen years waiting every moment for a system to appear.

Now it had really come. Was he going to begin his cheat-enabled life today?

Coming back to his senses, Li Xiao continued:

"System, introduce your functions."

The system replied, "Young master, no matter which plane you enter from now on, I will provide you with cultivation that makes you invincible on that plane."

"It is my duty to let the host enjoy an unbroken ride of satisfaction."

"Detected that the young master is in the lower realm. The highest realm this plane can withstand is the peak Emperor Realm. Will you accept Emperor Realm cultivation?"

Emperor Realm cultivation? Hearing this, Li Xiao blurted out without a second thought, "Accept."

The instant Li Xiao's words fell, incomparably pure Spiritual Qi, free of all impurities, surged wildly within him.

A cool sensation shot from the soles of Li Xiao's feet straight to his forehead, and then his cultivation realm soared.

The pleasure made Li Xiao let out an involuntary soft moan. It was even more comfortable than Number 19's technique in his previous life.

Soon, Li Xiao's cultivation stopped at the peak Emperor Realm.

Li Xiao spread his hands and clenched them, feeling out his peak Emperor Realm cultivation.

He now felt that his entire body brimmed with strength, enough to destroy a continent with one punch.

"Would you like me to conceal your cultivation, young master?" the system asked.

"No need to conceal it."

Li Xiao quickly recovered and answered.

What a joke. Although he had been exceptionally talented after transmigrating, over a decade of arduous cultivation had only barely brought him to the Sovereign Realm.

Now that he possessed supreme strength, why should he hide it?

Play the pig to eat the tiger? Sorry, he wasn't a masochist. He had no such hobby. From now on, even a dragon he encountered would have to coil on the ground.

At this thought, the corners of Li Xiao's mouth curved, and his memories returned to when he had first transmigrated.

Eighteen years ago, Li Xiao had been an ordinary corporate slave working in a factory.

After waking from a sleep, he had transmigrated with his memories into a newborn infant of the Li Lineage in the cultivation world's upper realm.

The Li Lineage was one of the upper realm's top great lineages, but there was none of that supposed fratricide or scheming against one another here.

Few in the upper realm dared provoke the Li Lineage, given its standing, so Li Xiao grew up peacefully in this comfortable environment.

The members of his lineage had doted on him since childhood as well. Back then, Old Master Li had originally wanted to name his grandson Li Xiaoyao, so he could live freely and unfettered all his life.

But a lifetime of carefree freedom was too extravagant a hope. No one could live carefree forever; even immortals had worries. Thus, only half of "Xiaoyao" was kept in the end.

Over the years, the Li Lineage had grown ever stronger in the upper realm. A tall tree caught the wind, and some other great lineages could no longer sit still.

The Li Lineage had sensed the danger as well.

Just yesterday, Old Master Li had torn open space and tossed Li Xiao into the lower realm, thinking that, on the one hand, it would temper his grandson, and on the other, if anything befell the Li Lineage in this struggle, a seedling would remain to rise again someday.

After arriving in the lower realm, Li Xiao had found this mountain peak and cultivated cross-legged for a night, and then the system appeared.

"Now I don't need to cultivate. Hmm, I have Great Xia blood, so having an assist device is perfectly reasonable, right?" Li Xiao chuckled softly.

"Reasonable. So fucking reasonable," the system chimed in knowingly.

Li Xiao nodded lightly.

Mm, a system from Great Xia.

"System, do you require check-ins or missions?" Li Xiao asked again.

"Young master, this system is an advanced system, version i.i. None of what you mentioned is necessary," the system replied with a touch of haughtiness.

"Then..."

Li Xiao was somewhat bewildered. Without missions or check-ins, where would his rewards come from?

No, this absolutely wouldn't do.

"I will provide you with every service. All permissions have been unlocked. The host need only ask."

"Huh? All permissions unlocked? So you'll give me whatever I want?"

"That's right."

Receiving the system's affirmative reply, Li Xiao froze.

It could work like this? He hadn't just plugged in a flash drive-he'd fucking plugged in drives A through E.

This was just too damn satisfying.

Li Xiao gathered his thoughts and murmured:

"The old man only tossed me down here yesterday. Now that I have the system, I should return to the upper realm."

"The Pan Lineage..."

Li Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of killing intent surfaced.

All these years, he had been protected within the lineage like a flower in a greenhouse, never contributing anything to it.

Now, his chance had come. If gods barred his path, he would kill gods; if Buddhas barred his path, he would kill Buddhas.

Li Xiao smiled. "I was only tossed into the lower realm yesterday, and today I'm going back. I wonder what expressions the old man and the others will have when they see me."

"System, let's return to the upper realm."

As his words fell, a tear in space appeared before Li Xiao the next instant.

Li Xiao flicked his sleeves and leaped inside.

Not far from the mountain where Li Xiao had stood, an ordinary young man in the Qi Refining Realm froze in shock. Watching Li Xiao's figure disappear, he hurriedly pressed his palms together, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly, murmuring over and over:

"Enlightenment in an instant, ascension on the spot. An immortal, an immortal!"
