Taking a disciple unlocks the Sect Settlement System, granting 10,000x returns for virtuous deeds.

For a full decade after stepping into the vast and boundless cultivation world, Zheng Yi lingered at the stagnant Qi Refining Layer 4 with no sign of breakthrough. Compared to fellow cultivators who advanced steadily through realms with each passing year, his cultivation speed was unbearably slow, making him a negligible and unremarkable existence in the cultivation community. He had no extraordinary talents, no rare spiritual resources, and could only cling to the declining Heavenly Fate Sect to sustain his trivial cultivation journey. Misfortune soon befell the worn-out sect. His only master passed away after exhausting his lifespan, leaving Zheng Yi as the sole successor of the dilapidated sect. At that time, Heavenly Fate Sect was on the brink of collapse. Its ancient halls were weathered and crumbling, spiritual energy was thin and barren, and no new disciples were willing to join. Disheartened and hopeless about the sect’s future, Zheng Yi made up his mind to sell the sect’s barren land and abandoned premises, planning to leave and wander the cultivation world alone. His fate took an unprecedented turn when he took in a destitute rootless beggar as his first and only disciple. The moment he accepted the disciple, the powerful Sect Settlement System awakened silently. This extraordinary system granted him a terrifying ten-thousand-fold return for every trivial sect-related deed. Whether he practiced meditation, instructed disciples in cultivation skills, or handled daily sect chores, every effort would be amplified ten thousand times to reward massive spiritual energy, innate talents, and precious cultivation blessings. With the incredible system buff, miracles happened in just one short year. The shabby, run-down temple of Heavenly Fate Sect was completely renovated and transformed into a magnificent sacred immortal abode overflowing with rich spiritual energy. Every disciple under his charge was reshaped by system blessings, turning from ordinary mortals into peerless cultivation geniuses overnight. As for Zheng Yi, the once useless and stagnant sect lord broke through countless cultivation shackles rapidly. He eventually surpassed the supreme Great Ascension realm, possessing earth-shaking strength that allowed him to shatter vast star rivers with a single casual gesture, standing atop the pinnacle of the cultivation world.
