Become Stronger by Taking Disciples

In the dense forest of Void Mountain, danger lurked everywhere with wild beasts roaming about. Whether they were humans or demons, all of them regarded Void Mountain as a dangerous land. However, at this moment, a majestic palace stood majestically amidst the mountains, exuding an ancient aura that forced people to prostrate themselves in worship with just a single glance.

Calling it the abode of immortals is not an exaggeration!

Above the entrance of the palace, hung a simple plaque with two characters inscribed: "天道" (Heavenly Dao), as if enshrouding the profound mysteries of the three thousand Great Dao.

Within dozens of miles around the grand palace on Void Mountain, not a single wild beast dared to approach.

Within the palace, a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes sat on the main seat with a depressed look on his face.

"System, is there really no room for negotiation when it comes to moving out?" Long Aotian asked as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"This remote place isn't good! Even if I wait another ten or a hundred years, I'm afraid I won't get any disciples at all!" He complained once again, questioning the system.

Ling Aotian was not born in this world. After crossing into this world, he obtained the standard item of a protagonist from a novel in his previous life: a system!

[Saint Master System]

To put it simply, as long as he accepted disciples, he could become stronger. However, the system gave him a Heavenly Dao Great Palace located in the wilderness, where not even wild beasts could be seen on ordinary days, let alone humans!

Fortunately, as long as he was inside this grand palace, he is invincible, almost an all-powerful being, and could not even starve to death.

The range of this effect extended to a five thousand meter radius around the grand palace.

"If things don't work out, why don't you just send me a disciple?" Ling Aotian grumbled as the system remained silent for a long time.

Even though within the range of the grand palace, he is an omnipotent and supreme existence, the moment he stepped beyond this range, he's just a mere mortal. He had been in this world for over three months now, but he had never seen any living creatures, not even wild beasts!

Currently, all he could see on the system panel were the initial missions.

[Initial Mission]

[Get disciples with Saint Rank aptitude or above to receive an initial gift package.]

"Forget it, at least I won't starve or grow old here. I'll wait patiently!" Ling Aotian sighed.

***

"Are you not afraid of my Leng Family's revenge!?"

Leng Yanran's brows furrowed tightly as she continued to evade the pursuit of the three Profound Realm cultivators within the mountain forest.

With her strength at the Sky Void Realm, escaping from the hands of Profound Realm experts was already a difficult feat. She originally thought that hiding in the Void Mountain would make the three give up, but to her disappointment, they showed no signs of retreating.

Even though she was hailed as the most outstanding genius of the last millennium in the Moro Kingdom, possessing talent at the Saint Rank, she found herself in an extremely miserable state, relentlessly pursued by these three Profound Realm experts.

"Hehe, the little miss of the Leng Family truly deserves her Saint Rank talents, holding out against the three of us for so long," said a middle-aged man among the pursuers, stroking his beard with a playful smile.

"Unfortunately, you are still too green. If we give you another five years, the three of us might not be able to defeat you,"

another person added. "In fact, you might even cause our deaths!"

The assassin with the appearance of an old man grinned evilly. "Hehe, such a prodigy will meet her end today at the hands of me, Liao Lao San. The thought alone makes me shiver with excitement!"

The fat man beside him seemed even more excited, constantly gesturing with his hands to cast spells, trying to block Leng Yanran's escape.

"Second Brother, let me have some fun first before we kill her," he said excitedly. "It would be a shame to kill such a beauty directly."

the fat man licked his lips, his eyes filled with lust as he stared at Leng Yanran's body.

One must understand that Leng Yanran was not only the best genius in Moro Kingdom, but also her appearance was unmatched, capturing the hearts of countless cultivators and extraordinary people. However, she remained indifferent to all their advances.

As for the threat Leng Yanran posed to them, the three did not take it seriously at all. If they didn't have absolute certainty, they wouldn't dare to touch a genius from the prestigious Leng Family.

"Damn, it's been so long. Why hasn't the family sent reinforcements yet?"

Leng Yanran felt both angry and embarrassed listening to the three's words. Deep inside, she was also worried about her family. If these three dared to chase her relentlessly, there would definitely be trouble in the Leng Family!

At this point, she no longer wasted time arguing with the three and focused all her strength on fleeing deeper into the Void Mountain. This place was an ominous land, where not only Profound Realm cultivators but even Mahayana Realm powerhouses did not dare to set foot casually.

Now, she can only gamble!

After a long while, Leng Yanran swallowed the last remaining Spirit Replenishment Pill, her face revealing a bitter smile. She never expected that the once hailed genius of the Moro Kingdom would meet her end like this.

Recalling the vulgar words the three men had said earlier, Leng Yanran had already made up her mind. If there was no possibility of escape once her spiritual energy was exhausted, she could only choose to end her life.

"Hehe, why don't you run anymore? Let this Liao Lao San have fun, and I will spare you, how about that?" The pursuer saw Leng Yanran stop in her tracks, his face glanced over, and he licked his lips in a lecherous smile.

However, Leng Yanran remained silent this time, her gaze coldly fixed on the three men, her silver teeth audibly grinding. With no hope of escape, she immediately raised her pristine palm, gathering her spiritual energy, intending to destroy her own heart meridian!

Her actions showed no hesitation, making the three men who were chasing her secretly amazed by Leng Yanran's state of mind. Only the third person sighed regretfully, relieved that their mission had been accomplished. After returning and collecting his gifts, he could indulge himself to his heart's content!

Suddenly!

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief!

The expected scene of Leng Yanran's death did not occur. Instead, a strangely dressed young man appeared, standing opposite Leng Yanran, holding her jade-like hand.

"Hah?"

"Who are you?"

The leading old man furrowed his brows and asked. He had not seen how the young man appeared, but from his aura, he seemed ordinary like a normal human.

"I am Leng Yanran from the Moro Kingdom. As long as young master is willing to help, my Leng Family will definitely offer a generous reward!"

Leng Yanran's eyes brightened as if she had found a savior, immediately seeking help from the young man who suddenly appeared.

However, the young man seemed oblivious to their words. Seeing that Leng Yanran had abandoned her intention of self-killing, he let go of her hand. He then began observing her eagerly, nodding in agreement from time to time.

"Tsk, waiting for so long, but finally...! Today, I won't let you escape no matter what!"

The young man was none other than Ling Aotian. Just as he was about to continue with his plan to lie down for a nap, he received a prompt from the system that a genius who met the disciple requirements had appeared within his reach.
