Chapter One: The Ultimate Disciple System?
Mystic Heaven Realm, Divine Sky Sect.
"Elder Lin Xuan, please have a seat here!"
A disciple respectfully spoke to the extraordinary figure beside him, a man with a sword-like gaze and starry brows. Upon closer inspection, a subtle Dao aura flowed slowly around him. Under this natural and inherent power, the disciple dared not lift his head too high, avoiding direct eye contact with the elder.
Lin Xuan nodded, slowly taking his seat on the elevated platform. In this place, there were only five seats like this.
"Elder Lin Xuan, which one of them do you think is worthy to be taken as a disciple?"
Beside him, another elder with the same status as Lin Xuan turned to him and asked. He was Sun, an elder from the inner sect of Divine Sky Sect.
However, Lin Xuan did not immediately answer the question. His gaze swept over the thousands of disciples in the sect's square, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"I actually transmigrated, and it's into a fantasy world!"
Lin Xuan murmured to himself.
Because he wasn't originally from this world; he was just an ordinary person from the Blue Star. He never expected transmigration to happen to him, especially into a fantasy realm.
Moreover, he now held the position of an elder in the Divine Sky Sect, making him the youngest elder in the sect.
In Divine Sky Sect, only those who reached the Royal Duke realm had the qualification to become an inner sect elder. And among all the inner sect elders in the Mystic Heaven Realm, they were just a handful!
The Royal Duke realm, as the name suggested, was a presence that could establish a principality outside. It possessed the power to move mountains and seas, commanding armies like ants!
"I never thought I'd pick up such a big opportunity..."
However, he was well aware that there were stronger forces beyond the mountains, especially in a fantasy world where the strong ruled.
Even the neighboring Ye Country, adjacent to Divine Sky Sect, had formidable individuals.
Above his realm were those in the realm of Kings, who could single-handedly topple a dynasty. Naturally, breaking through to such a realm was as difficult as reaching the sky, even for Lin Xuan. Without special opportunities, he might remain at his current level indefinitely.
Nevertheless, considering Lin Xuan's background of starting from a weak position, this beginning already felt like a dream come true. Though his strength might not be top-notch outside the Mystic Heaven Realm, within it, as long as the realm of Kings didn't appear, he could walk with confidence.
Therefore, on this day, when Divine Sky Sect was recruiting disciples, Lin Xuan, the young elder, naturally became the center of attention. Everyone wanted to see which disciple the youngest elder of Divine Sky Sect would choose, making it a significant event for the sect.
As Lin Xuan was preparing to answer Elder Sun's question, a voice suddenly rang in his mind:
"Ding! Energy collection complete. Congratulations, host, on activating the Disciple Strengthening System!"
Hearing this voice, Lin Xuan's heart was slightly delighted. How could he not know what a system was? In any novel, it was equivalent to a cheat code. With the help of the system, even reaching the realm of Kings might be possible!
"System, what functions do you have?"
Lin Xuan asked.
"Host, this system is the Disciple Strengthening System, as the name suggests. Its purpose is to cultivate disciples. As long as the host can successfully recruit disciples, you will gain their talents and receive strengthening from the system! The stronger the talents of the disciples you recruit, the better the rewards for the host!"
"I see!"
Lin Xuan nodded silently.
Then, he looked at the attribute panel that appeared before his eyes.
Host: Lin Xuan
Realm: Royal Duke
Talent: None
Technique: Divine Sky Art
"Why is my talent listed as none?"
Lin Xuan asked the system with some surprise.
"Host, because your talent is too trash, it hasn't been recorded in the system!"
Hearing this, Lin Xuan fell into a brief silence. At his age, becoming an inner sect elder in Divine Sky Sect, a Royal Duke-level expert, was already a one-in-a-million achievement. Yet, in the eyes of the system, his talent was considered trash?
"The sect master arrives, and the disciple recruitment ceremony officially begins!"
At this moment, a loud voice echoed, and the entire square fell silent.
A middle-aged man slowly appeared on the elevated platform. Though his steps were not fast, an unparalleled aura of a top-tier expert radiated from him.
Peak Royal Duke realm expert! Sect master of Divine Sky Sect! Shen Wufeng!
On the square, these low-level disciples didn't even dare to look directly at him under the overwhelming aura of a mighty expert. However, what they were more curious about was the young expert sitting on the elevated platform. They naturally knew that all five individuals on those seats were inner sect elders of Divine Sky Sect. Could he be one too?

I am going to go much further ahead with the story on my patreon, so if you could support me there please go to https://patreon.com/MangaTacos
I also have plans to turn this into a manhua which I will be funding with the monthly donations I get from Patreon. My goal is to reach about 100 patrons to get the artist started. The more patrons I get, the more artists I will be able to hire and get the story into a manhua much quicker.
I am also writing a light novel series which is more of a Shounen style story. I hope to see you all there!
