"Old fool, you deceived me! You said your Piao Miao Sect is the number one sect in the Piao Snow Region, but damn, it's just me, the lone offspring!"
"What kind of crappy sect is this? It's all dilapidated wooden houses, yet you dare to call yourself a Celestial?"
"You're damn ruthless, even making me swear an oath of dao heart, insisting I must not sever the lineage of the Piao Miao Sect!"
"You've dug my grave! I was thinking of joining Lan Yue Sect to wreak havoc amongst those celestial maidens!"
"I curse you, forever unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation."
"You told me I have heaven-sent talent and will definitely become a great emperor in the future, how could you deceive me like this?"
"God, I, a transmigrator, was fooled by an old fool and now I'm crippled, where am I supposed to make my complaints?!"
In the Piao Snow Region's Piao Miao Sect, a young man was ranting and swearing at a tombstone!
The young man was named Zhou Yuan, a transmigrator from the Blue Star.
He had been in this world for three years now and just yesterday, he broke through the first layer of Qi training.
When he first transmigrated, he was duped by Xuan Chengzi, the 299th generation Sect Head of Piao Miao Sect, and was brought into the Piao Miao Sect before he even had time to learn about this world!
Xuan Chengzi told him that Piao Miao Sect was the number one sect within the Piao Snow Region, filled with beautiful women.
Xuan Chengzi was the Sect Head, and in the future, he would be the Sect's direct disciple!
Zhou Yuan was dizzy from the information and was led astray by Xuan Chengzi.
Xuan Chengzi had worked hard to fool Zhou Yuan, a person with Five Spiritual Roots, naturally, he wouldn't let him escape, so he deceived him into making a major oath.
"Under the watchful gaze of the heavens, I, Zhou Yuan, voluntarily join the Piaomiao Sect, pledging never to betray it! Unless I break through the first layer of Qi training, I will not leave the Sect, or else I will be struck by the Five Thunderbolts from the sky!"
Though his Five Spiritual Roots are completely useless, they are at least better than having nothing.
Upon arriving at the Piaomiao Sect, Zhou Yuan was stunned—wasn't this simply a decrepit mountain?
Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran that very night.
But once he ran out of the Piaomiao Sect's boundaries, thunderclouds rolled in from above and lightning struck down from the sky.
Zhou Yuan was hit several times and nearly lost his life.
Bitter tears filled Zhou Yuan's eyes. He had made many vows in Lanxing and none of them had come true. Why didn't they work here?
Xuan Cheng Zi saved the unconscious Zhou Yuan who had been struck by lightning, and after nurturing his injuries for ten days.
Ten days later, Zhou Yuan once again tried to run away, only to be struck again, this time even more severely!
Once Xuan Cheng Zi saved him again, it took twenty days to recover.
Zhou Yuan was so depressed he wanted to die, but helpless, he could only accept the harsh reality.
Every time he thought about the oath Xuan Cheng Zi forced him to make, Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth in resentment.
Seeing Zhou Yuan finally accept his situation, Xuan Cheng Zi began teaching him cultivation methods with a beaming smile.
It took him more than half a year to finally sense a trace of Qi, but Xuan Cheng Zi praised him for having a natural talent and predicted his future as a great emperor.
It was on the third day after he sensed the Qi that Xuan Cheng Zi finally relaxed, and then he departed this world with a smile on his face.
Zhou Yuan became the three hundredth generation sect leader of the Mystical Illusion Sect, starting with nothing but a title!
It took him a full three years, but Zhou Yuan finally broke through the first level of Qi cultivation, and even consumed a spiritual herb left by Xuan Chengzi.
Zhou Yuan could finally descend the mountain. Thinking about the past three years where he slept later than a dog and woke up earlier than a chicken, tears streamed down his face!
Zhou Yuan sat in front of Xuan Chengzi's grave, verbally blasting a long tirade, finally venting the frustrations he had pent up over the years. Only then did he feel a lot more comfortable.
"Old man, I'm leaving now! I don't know when I will come to visit you again."
"Don't worry, I won't let the Mystical Illusion Sect's legacy to be cut off. When my time comes, just like you, I'll bring someone here!"
After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he bowed three times towards Xuan Chengzi's grave, then without a hint of hesitation, trotted down the mountain.
After Xuan Chengzi's death, he left Zhou Yuan a storage bag containing only three items.
The "Mystical Illusion Art", "Mystical Illusion Swordplay", and a longsword emitting a chilling glow!
Actually, there were four things, including a spiritual herb he had already ingested!
All the names were quite imposing, but in reality, they were of no use.
The "Mystical Illusion Art" could only support him until he reached the third level of Qi cultivation. The "Mystical Illusion Swordplay" had only three moves, which he had practiced until he knew it like the back of his hand!
Soon, Zhou Yuan arrived at the foot of the Mystical Illusion Sect mountain. He hesitated slightly, knowing that one more step would take him to a place where he had been stricken by lightning more than ten times.
After Xuan Chengzi's death, Zhou Yuan tried to escape several times, but the results were always the same.
Zhou Yuan hesitated for a moment, looked up into the sky, and then took the next step.
If it were before, thunderclouds would have gathered in the sky instantly, but now there wasn't the slightest change.
"Haha, I'm free!"
Zhou Yuan was overjoyed, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, but as he laughed, he involuntarily started to cry, it had been too difficult for him!
【Ding! Host has broken through to the first layer of Qi cultivation, system is starting!】
At this moment, a voice sounded in Zhou Yuan's mind, causing his eyes to widen.
Over the years, he had called the system "Dad" who knows how many times, but there was never a response, he had given up!
But the sudden voice had Zhou Yuan jumping in excitement.
I am now a possessor of a system, ready to cheat my way through life from here on!
【System startup complete, host may check!】
Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Yuan felt as if a panel had appeared in front of him, and hurriedly clicked on it.
【Host: Zhou Yuan】
【Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Level 1: 1/100】
【Life Span: 20/81】
【Talents: Five Spirit Roots】
【Luck Value: 3】
【Skills: None】
【Special Abilities: None】
Seeing the contents of the system panel, Zhou Yuan didn't feel any disappointment. This was his situation.
However, with the system, everything will be better.
"What kind of system is this?"
"Master, I am the Rogue Plunder System. I plunder the heavens, the earth, and all beings. I can plunder anything!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan’s eyes lit up instantly. This is great! Robbery has always been the first step in wealth accumulation!
"System, sign in!"
"Master, this system does not have this function!"
"System, give out a newbie gift pack!"
"Master, this system doesn't provide this service!"
"System, grant an initial cultivation of one hundred thousand years!"
"Master, this system doesn't have such a reward!"
"System, give me an Emperor's weapon!"
"Master, this system doesn’t have the Emperor's weapon.”
Zhou Yuan had tried many times in a row, but the system's response was always negative.
"Darn, this good-for-nothing system, always saying no to everything. What use are you? Your name sounds so powerful, but you're basically here just to trick me, aren't you?"
Zhou Yuan directly cursed at the system. After all the waiting, the system turned out to be useless.
"Master, this system is the Robber Baron system, which requires you to do all the plundering yourself. For every person you rob, their talents, techniques, and luck are automatically transferred to you. Moreover, the remaining lifespan of anyone killed by the master is also transferred without any upper limit, infinitely!"
The system's voice came through, causing Zhou Yuan to be taken aback, and then to feel incredibly delighted.
Damn, this system is awesome. Even life spans can be grabbed; wouldn't that mean I can live forever!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan immediately narrowed his eyes.
I’ll live forever, do as you wish!
