The Xuanyuan Imperial Dynasty’s territory, though spanning a million li, could be considered vast and immense, yet it only occupied about one-third of the Human Emperor World.

Moreover, despite being part of the Xuanyuan Imperial Dynasty, the territory contained numerous subordinate states, as well as sect powers entrenched within.

Some sects were powerful and the Xuanyuan Imperial Dynasty could not suppress them, maintaining relatively harmonious relations, with no conflicts and even occasional exchanges during special periods.

Since Chen Ye had taken Ji Qianfan as his disciple, he sought out a modest, barely adequate small hill to establish a nominal sect.

The sect was named the All-Heavens Myriad Ways Sect.

Ji Qianfan stood with her long legs straight, gazing at the barren, flat little hills before her, pouting as she quietly asked, “Master… isn’t our mountain base… a bit too ridiculous?”

‘And… with such a cheeky name. All-Heavens Myriad Ways Sect… Are you saying all the myriad ways of the heavens come from you?’

Though thinking this in her heart, Ji Qianfan dared not speak carelessly, fearing Chen Ye might knock some sense out of her.

‘At least find a more decent place…’

Chen Ye glanced at Ji Qianfan and said, “The reason for establishing the mountain base here is simply for convenience.”

“Con…venience?”

Ji Qianfan pressed her lips, seeing no sign of convenience…

‘Convenient to lie down anywhere?’

A shiver ran through her; she dared not ask further.

Shaking his head, Chen Ye was naturally not thinking as Ji Qianfan imagined.

The reason for setting up a sect on this lonely, barren, flat hill was because it was closest to a certain place.

That place was the origin of Ji Qianfan’s previous opportunity and also the wedge for her reversal.

In the future heavens, Ji Qianfan would call herself Human Emperor, not because of her origin in the Human Emperor World, but because of the opportunity she obtained.

[Human Emperor Legacy]: Ji Qianfan has joined as a disciple. As a future Supreme Master of the Heavens, please ensure she safely reaches the Human Emperor Legacy site, allowing her to inherit the Human Emperor Legacy!

Task Reward: One lottery draw.

Task Punishment: Failure may occur.

The Human Emperor Legacy was originally Ji Qianfan’s due, but now the system had turned it into a task, perhaps foreshadowing some change.

When he traveled up the river of time and was bound to this system, taking Ji Qianfan as a disciple was already a variable.

From the moment she was saved, Ji Qianfan’s life trajectory shifted; even if changes occurred along her cultivation path, Chen Ye would not be surprised.

“The reason I said convenience is because it really is convenient.” Chen Ye reached out, ruffling Ji Qianfan’s small head, smiling lightly.

Ji Qianfan pouted. Except during childhood, she had never let anyone besides her mother or father touch her head. But the person before her was her master, so she endured.

“Then Master… we can’t just lie down and sleep in this barren place, right?”

“Of course not.” Chen Ye said, extending his hand; a brilliant light suddenly appeared in his palm.

The scene made Ji Qianfan’s pupils shrink.

Mist swirled, clouds appeared, enchanting celestial music played and an enormous hall, previously unseen, was wrapped tightly in clouds. The hall exuded an enigmatic Dao resonance, difficult to comprehend.

The sight struck Ji Qianfan with a powerful sense of shock.

Her eyes widened in disbelief at the hall that appeared like a divine transformation.

She had thought her master was mysterious and powerful, but this scene completely overturned her perception.

Her master was more than mysterious and powerful. Now she saw…

Dressed in a dark Dao robe, with a jade-like crown, posture upright, like a celestial being from the novels who shapes all beings, extraordinary aura.

Ji Qianfan suddenly wanted to touch her master’s face, exclaiming, ‘Master, what kind of immortal are you?’

Even a Transcendent Realm expert might not possess such abilities.

This was Chen Ye’s first lottery reward.

Name: Dao Palace

Grade: Heavenly Rank

Description: Dao Palace can freely change its form, limited to buildings. Cultivation inside the Dao Palace greatly accelerates cultivation speed, containing high-level protective formations, killing formations and other functions. The Dao Venerable is advised to explore it personally…

For Chen Ye, this was of little use; the Dao Palace could speed up cultivation, but he didn’t need it. It was perfect for his disciple, as Ji Qianfan had no cultivation yet.

“This hall is called the Dao Palace; it can increase cultivation speed.”

Chen Ye said, leading Ji Qianfan inside.

The interior was exquisitely decorated, resembling a Daoist temple rather than a palace. The invisible Dao resonance gave Ji Qianfan a mystical sense and the spiritual energy was dense.

At the end of the hall was a white jade carved bench, flanked on both sides by neatly arranged meditation cushions.

“Sit down.”

Chen Ye’s gentle voice brought Ji Qianfan back to her senses. She ran to a cushion, sat cross-legged, curiously glancing at the other cushions.

“Those are prepared for your future junior brothers and sisters.”

Chen Ye said calmly.

‘Junior brothers… junior sisters?’

Ji Qianfan blinked, “Master, are you planning to widely accept disciples?”

“Mm.”

Chen Ye nodded, then extended his hand. A scroll floated into Ji Qianfan’s hands.

“This is…”

Ji Qianfan’s face lit up.

‘Was Master planning to pass on a technique?’

“This is the Dao One Derivative Scripture, the foundational cultivation method of our Myriad Ways Sect.” Chen Ye’s voice was gentle.

Ji Qianfan was momentarily stunned, joy fading; it was only a basic cultivation method.

Seeing her expression, Chen Ye said lightly, “Do not underestimate the Dao One Derivative Scripture. All things derive from Dao. Though basic, when transforming spiritual energy into spiritual power, it produces richer power, laying an unparalleled foundation, unique in all heavens.”

Ji Qianfan suddenly realized, “So, at the same realm, my spiritual power can be several times stronger than others?”

Chen Ye nodded, “Correct.”

‘The disciple was smart, not foolish.’

“Moreover, the Dao One Derivative Scripture does not interfere with other cultivation methods, but stabilizes them further.”

Ji Qianfan’s joy intensified.

Clutching the scroll, she stuck out her tongue playfully and said, “Thank you, Master~ I’ll begin cultivation immediately.”

Following the instructions, she immersed herself in cultivation using the Dao Palace’s effects.

The system’s notification sounded again:

[Ding! Detected Dao Venerable transmitting technique, Ji Qianfan successfully took her first cultivation step, reward: 100 Saint Master Points~]

Chen Ye remained expressionless, thinking.

‘The Dao One Derivative Scripture’s true function, I think you understand. All things derive from Dao, encompassing all. And you give me 100 points?’

[…]

‘That’s robbery! You weren’t forced to transmit this method; you chose to! The reward is standard!’

Yet…

[Ding! Detected Dao One Derivative Scripture of exceptional grade, even Supreme Dao. Dao Venerable’s love for disciple is immense. Reward: 500 Saint Master Points.]
