Chapter 6

“Ding, the main quest to unify the three realms has been activated.”

This sentence shocked Jiang Cheng.

They were talking about the three realms here. He had just started out, but he had already given such an enormous quest. It was obvious that the system was trying to mess with him. There was no way he could complete something like this, right?

Fortunately, the system soon gave him an explanation.

“This quest does not have a time limit, and can be completed in stages.”

“Every time the host completes a stage, he will receive points.”

“These points can be used to upgrade the system or to draw a lottery prize.”

Jiang Cheng was not unfamiliar with the terms ‘system upgrade’ and ‘lottery prize’, so he accepted it easily.

However, what he did not understand was how the system would determine the criteria and success of the three realms unification quest.

If one wanted to be invincible in this world, then it would depend on one’s individual strength.

However, to unify the three realms, one required a huge force. This could not be achieved with the strength of a single person.

The system was clearly forcing him to establish his own force.

There were also stages. At which point could he be considered to have completed a stage?

He discovered that a points interface had appeared on the system panel.

Level: 1

Points: 0/1000

Usable points: 0

Current skill level: Can be resurrected once per day (cannot be accumulated). After resurrection, the host will gain the ability to defeat the enemy.

Next skill level: Can be resurrected twice per day (cannot be accumulated). After resurrection, the host will gain the ability to defeat the enemy.

Holy sh*t, so I can increase the number of resurrections per day!

Jiang Cheng was no longer calm.

Only being able to resurrect once a day was actually not that safe for a newbie like him who had just left the novice area.

For example, if an enemy stronger than the third level of the soul division realm appeared after killing Yao Yunxuan’s group, then he would have been finished unless he could escape and survive until the resurrection cooldown ended the following day.

Things would become much more stable if he could resurrect twice a day.

Brother Cheng would definitely strive to upgrade this skill’s level!

The problem was how this skill could be leveled up. At this critical moment, the system was playing dead again. There was not even a single piece of information forthcoming to explain this conundrum to him.

Helpless, Jiang Cheng could only try to see if spirit stones and spiritual pills were effective.

Opening his newly-obtained storage ring, he discovered that there were changes.

The spirit stones and qi-gathering pills inside the ring were all available for exchange.

Then, he glanced at the exchange ratios.

1 point = 100 high-grade spirit stones = 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones.

1 point = 10 bottles of soul refining pills = 100 bottles of qi-gathering pills.

1 point = 1 third-grade spiritual artifact.

Jiang Cheng had entered the exchange interface excitedly, and ended up exiting it in disappointment.

The system did accept everything but, at best, the spoils of war that he had just obtained could only be exchanged for less than 4 points.

Leveling up required 1,000 points, was that not too much?

It seemed that completing the first stage of the main quest to unify the three realms was a more reliable option.

He turned around, and Ji Linghan was still standing near the entrance of the cave.

“Your sect was destroyed?”

“Yes!”

At the mention of this, Ji Linghan’s tears almost came streaming out, as she recalled the tragic situation that day.

That night, her master, uncles, and fellow disciples all died in front of her eyes.

The four sects had besieged them after a long period of planning and preparation, and the Flying Immortal sect had no way to resist the assault.

If the sect leader had not used his final trump card to send her out of the encirclement before his death, she probably would have died by now.

“Do you want revenge?”

“Of course!”

Ji Linghan answered without hesitation.

Although she had a gentle personality, that did not mean that she was a pushover.

Jiang Cheng deliberated for a moment, and then proposed, “I can help you.”

“Ah!”

Ji Linghan was pleasantly surprised.

“Really?”

“If senior is willing to help me take revenge, I’m willing to do anything to repay you…”

She was touched and looked forward to it.

In her eyes, Jiang Cheng was a heavenly fate realm expert. This level had already surpassed all the cultivators in the Qinglan Prefecture. Would revenge not simply be a matter of stretching out one’s hand?

Jiang Cheng waved his hand.

“I don’t need you to become my slave. You just have to agree to one condition.”

“What condition?”

“I want to be the sect master of the Flying Immortal sect.”

He had thought it through. In order to unify the three realms, he had to first set a small goal.

For example, he had to first conquer Qinglan Prefecture.

How was he going to do so?

Was he going to charge into someone else’s sect and kill them for no reason?

If he did that, he would not be able to act in the name of justice. He might even attract the ire and attacks of some so-called noble and righteous sects.

However, if he acted under the banner of revenge for the Flying Immortal sect, then his actions would appear fair and justified.

Moreover, the quest required him to develop his own faction, so it was only natural for him to become the sect leader.

“Ah?”

Ji Linghan was stunned.

What kind of condition was this?

The Flying Immortal sect had been destroyed, so what was the point of becoming the sect leader now?

He would not get anything out of it, right?

Moreover, the four sects were all hunting down those who had escaped. Whoever showed up with the name of the Flying Immortal sect would find themselves in trouble instead.

“If you don’t agree, then let’s part ways!”

There were fights and deaths in the cultivation world every day, and there were countless cases of sects being destroyed. It was impossible for him to intervene every time he saw it happen.

Seeing that this ‘senior’ was about to leave again, Ji Linghan hurriedly chased after him.

She said repeatedly, “I’m willing!”

“Senior, it’s our good fortune to have you become the sect leader of our Flying Immortal sect at this critical moment!”

As a core disciple, she was originally not qualified to decide who the next sect leader would be.

However, the previous sect leader of the Flying Immortal sect had died in battle, and there was almost no one left in the sect, so there was no need to think too deeply about protocol.

“Okay, then I’ll accept this fate!”

“From now on, I, Jiang Cheng, am the sect master of the Flying Immortal sect!”

It was only then that Ji Linghan found out his real name.

Looking at that determined gaze, her heart trembled, and she bowed down.

“Flying Immortal Sect’s core disciple Ji Linghan greets the sect master!”

Jiang Cheng was about to help her up, but the sound of a system notification suddenly sounded in his head.
