Chapter 1

“Those so-called notable orthodox sects are too despicable! How could they take advantage of others’ difficulties? Let me go out and slaughter them all!”
“Third Senior Brother, don’t be reckless and fall for their tricks.”
“Fifth Junior Sister is right. We must not panic right now. Even if Master cannot fight, they can’t cause too much trouble with the four of us here.”
“But, the top ten orthodox experts of the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm are all here! Besides, Master’s condition…”
“Be quiet, all of you! Can’t you see Master is resting?”
Lu Zhou heard a fierce quarrel as he slowly opened his eyes. Confused memories stabbed into his mind like tens of millions of needles while fragmented images were being rapidly woven in his head.
‘Where is this?’
“If it weren’t for the shield, I bet they would be besieging the mountain now as well!”
“…”
1“Enough!”
1At the shout, everyone fell silent at once. Lu Zhou’s voice sounded obviously displeased as he said, “Do you think I don’t know what you are thinking? You want me to die, don’t you?”
2“Ah?”
1The four disciples dropped to their knees immediately and said in unison, “This disciple dares not!”
Lu Zhou glanced at them as he snorted and said, “You are all experts of the Divine Court realm, and perhaps you will step into the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm in just a few years like your Eldest and Second Senior Brothers. By then, can I, as your Master, still be able to control you?”
“He who teaches me for a day is my father for life! We will never betray Master!” The four disciples bowed.
2Lu Zhou took a deep breath. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still a little nervous when facing such a situation.
“Leave me. I have my own plan to drive back the enemies.”
“I understand!” The four disciples retreated obediently.
‘Plan my ass, I just want to be quiet, that’s all.’ Lu Zhou finally felt relieved, and he found that at some point in time, his back had broken out in a cold sweat. ‘I need to calm down. But, how can I calm down in the face of four ungrateful disciples, who may jump over and attack me at any time, and thousands of so-called orthodox cultivators out there?’
4‘Ji Tiandao, what sin have you committed that I have to clean up the mess for you?’
9‘As if committing sins yourself is not enough, why did you cultivate so many villainous disciples?’
‘Damn you! You really deserve to die!’
5‘What should I do now to handle internal and external troubles, plus an old body that can hardly move?’
‘Is there any dimension traveler who is unluckier than me?’
9“Ding! Task completed. Time taken: 1,000 years. Complete 9/9 of the task of inheriting and teaching.”
15“The merit system is officially activated.”
3‘Eh?’ Lu Zhou’s heart trembled. ‘Here comes the cheat!’
3He suddenly understood why Ji Tiandao had cultivated nine villainous disciples.
Unfortunately, the hard work of his whole life was only to pave the way for others. It was a thousand years of hard work!
1The system brought up the menu, and a pale blue interface appeared in front of Lu Zhou’s eyes.
Name: Ji Tiandao
Race: Human
1Cultivation Base: The ninth-tier of Body Tempering
13Merit Points: -100,000 (Can be used to exchange life force, lucky draw, etc.)
7Remaining life: 3 days
12Items: None
Cultivation Techniques: None
8Other functions: Lucky draw, shopping mall.
…
1‘-100,000!’ Lu Zhou widened his eyes and thought, ‘Seriously? Negative one hundred thousand merit points? I can put up with the fact that you sent me into the body of an old man, but what is this? And what is going on with the remaining 3 days of life?’
“Reassessing…”
“Wrong information corrected. Ji Tiandao is now changed to Lu Zhou.”
“Ding! A prerequisite task of the primary mission is triggered: Drive back the enemies.”
“Complete the prerequisite task and correct yourself, then the merit points will be zeroed.”
3“Detected that the host is too weak. A novice gift pack is awarded. Do you want to open it?”
4The series of prompts made Lu Zhou nod in satisfaction.
2That was more like it.
He could also understand the prerequisite task given by the system. After all, what Ji Tiandao did all his life were notorious deeds.
1But, the system was fairly reasonable. It knew this old body was too weak, so it gave him a novice gift pack.
1“Open it.”
“Ding! You’ve received 1 x Reversal Card, which can give you some life force.”
6“You’ve received 3 x Peak Form Cards. Which will give you 30 minutes of Ji Tiandao’s peak form.”
6“You’ve received 5 x Critical Block Cards, which can block 5 fatal strikes for the host.”
2‘These things are not bad.’ Lu Zhou looked at his personal menu again.
Name: Lu Zhou

Cultivation Base: The ninth-tier of Body Tempering
Merit Points: -100,000 (Will be zeroed if the prerequisite task is completed.)
Remaining life: 2 days and 23 hours…
