Chapter 1: Becoming Stronger by Accepting Disciples

In the dangerous forests of the Void Mountain, vicious beasts roamed freely, and both humans and demons regarded it as a treacherous place.

Inside the Heavenly Dao Hall, a young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes slumped on the main seat, looking worried.

"System, is there really no room for negotiation about moving to another location?"

"This godforsaken place is so deserted that even in ten or a hundred years, I doubt I'll find a single disciple!"

Chen Daoxuan rubbed his temples, feeling a headache, as he complained to the system.

He wasn't originally from this world. After transmigrating, he received a special gift: a system!

The Saint Master System.

As long as he took in disciples, he would grow stronger. However, the system had placed his Heavenly Dao Hall in a barren, desolate land where even wild animals were scarce, let alone people!

Within the palace's range, he was invincible, almost omnipotent. He wouldn't starve or age. But that power extended only within a 5,000-meter radius of the palace.

"If nothing else, at least send me a disciple!"

When the system remained silent, Chen Daoxuan could only grit his teeth helplessly.

Although he was nearly omnipotent within the palace, the moment he stepped out, he was just an ordinary mortal.

Three months had passed since his arrival in this world, and he hadn't seen a single living creature — not even a beast!

Currently, the system panel showed only one Mission.

[Initial Mission] 

[Acquire a disciple with a talent of Saint-Grade or above to receive the initial gift package.]

"Sigh, at least I can't starve or age here. I guess I'll just wait."

...

"Do you really not fear my family's revenge!?"

A stunning woman with a fiery figure was frantically fleeing through the forest, pursued by three cultivators at the Profound Sky realm.

Though her cultivation was at the Void Sky stage, it was barely enough to escape from the three Profound Sky experts. She had hoped that by entering the perilous Void Mountain, they would give up. But, to her despair, they continued to chase her relentlessly!

Even though Leng Yanran had Saint-Grade talent and was hailed as the greatest genius of the past thousand years in the Moro Kingdom, she was now in a dire situation.

"Haha, the girl from the Leng family! As expected of Saint-Grade talent — to think you could hold out this long against the three of us," laughed one of the pursuers, an old man, stroking his beard.

"It's a pity you're still too young. Given another five years, we might not have been able to handle you!"

"You might even have killed us by then!"

One of the men, a plump middle-aged cultivator, cackled gleefully as he conjured spells to block Leng Yanran's escape.

"Second Brother, let me have some fun first before we kill her. Such a beauty shouldn't go to waste!"

The third pursuer, licking his lips, was staring at Leng Yanran with a lecherous gaze. Not only was she the top genius of the Moro Kingdom, but her beauty was also unmatched.

Countless cultivators and prodigies had admired her from afar, but none had won her favor.

Despite her fears, Leng Yanran bit her lip and continued to flee deeper into Void Mountain, hoping the dangers would deter her pursuers.

After consuming her last Qi Boosting Pill, Leng Yanran smiled bitterly. 

She never imagined that the greatest prodigy of the Moro Kingdom would meet her end here. 

With no other options, she resolved to take her own life if escape proved impossible.

"Stop running, girl!" one of her pursuers jeered. "Let me have my fun, and I might just let you live."

Leng Yanran's body tensed as she prepared to end her life, gathering the last of her spiritual energy for one final strike to shatter her own heart.

Just as her hand was raised, something unexpected happened.

Out of nowhere, a young man in strange attire appeared in front of her, gently grasping her wrist, preventing her from delivering the fatal blow.

"Huh?"

"Who the hell are you?" the lead pursuer asked, frowning. 

They hadn't even noticed how this young man had arrived, and yet his aura felt completely ordinary.

Leng Yanran, seeing this sudden savior, quickly grasped at the hope he represented. "I am Leng Yanran of the Moro Kingdom. If you save me, my family will surely reward you handsomely!"

But the young man seemed to ignore everyone's words. He merely released her wrist and began inspecting her closely with a thoughtful expression.

"Hmm... I've been waiting so long, and finally, you're here... There's no way I'm letting you slip away today!"

"Not to mention, you even look a bit like a... succubus?"

The young man was none other than Chen Daoxuan. 

Moments earlier, when he had been about to settle in for another nap, the system had alerted him to the presence of a Saint-Grade talent within his range.
