I was just making up techniques... how did all of you become Emperors?
Chu Feng transmigrates to the vast and mysterious Xuantian Continent, a world where strength determines everything. But unlike others, he can’t cultivate at all. Just when it seems like he’s destined to remain weak and irrelevant, he suddenly awakens a strange system—one that allows him to grow stronger by accepting disciples.
Lacking any real knowledge of cultivation techniques, Chu Feng does the only thing he can: he bluffs. He starts recruiting disciples using made-up martial arts and nonsense teachings, hoping to trick the system into making him stronger.
What he never expected was that his disciples would take his nonsense seriously—and actually master the techniques he invented. Not just that, they go on to become terrifyingly powerful, shaking the world with their strength.
A hundred years later, as his disciples stand at the peak of the cultivation world, one by one becoming legendary Emperors, Chu Feng can only look on in disbelief and mutter:
“I made up those techniques… how did you all become Emperors?”

Why You Should Read This:
The main character doesn’t become overpowered overnight. This isn’t one of those stories where the protagonist takes in one disciple and instantly starts dominating everyone. Chu Feng has to build his strength gradually, and his progress feels earned.
It avoids the usual face-slapping, power-trip routine. In the early chapters, you won’t find constant revenge arcs or exaggerated drama. The story takes its time and lets the world—and characters—develop naturally.
There’s a subtle layer of humor. The contrast between Chu Feng’s nonsense teachings and the dead-serious disciples who actually succeed with them adds a light, clever touch that keeps the story fun without turning into full comedy.
It plays with familiar cultivation tropes while adding a twist. If you’re used to reading xianxia or progression fantasy, you’ll recognize the structure—but this novel bends the formula in some refreshing ways.

I liked the premise, the beginning, and parts of the story overall. The problem is that we have Maggie Stark as the protagonist, who has been shown to be someone who could be Tony Stark(her brother)‘s equal or near equal. THEN she also has the super soldier serumn like Steve or Bucky, with all the training HYDRA could provide, such as the Red Room like Natasha. Why is that bad? It isn’t. Until her presence in the MCU does basically nothing to change how the story goes. Major events stay basically the same, except some have an extra person in it- such as when going into the past to get the infinity stones, she joins Steve, stands there while he gets the scepter, rushes off to help with the cube, gets slapped by past-Hulk, rushes back to see Steve basically defeat past-Steve, knocks out past-Steve, and then has to go with Steve and Tony to the past. WHERE she follows Tony to get the cube, and nothing changes… except she’s in the scene. Her role in this story amounts to basic emotional support to the Avengers and Bucky. Of course that’s downplaying it a bit to make summarization easier, but still… she’s by no means fulfilling the role cut out for her. She doesn’t even do the snap instead of Tony, so all I can think of her being there is to give Bucky a happy ending, and help Pepper raise Morgan. Of course, a lot of that is just expectations vs reality. It’s just disappointing there. Overall a good novel though.
