Chapter 57: The Supreme Sect System’s Generosity

The Calm Before the Reward

The war camp bustled with activity as the Sect of Chaos and the Eclipse Sect continued strengthening their defenses. The looming threat of the Obsidian Hand weighed heavily on everyone's minds, but Lin Feng had other concerns—mainly, how to squeeze some rewards out of his oh-so-generous system.

Sitting atop his makeshift throne (which was just a fancy chair he took from the enemy commander's tent), Lin Feng exhaled dramatically.

"Sigh… winning battles, recruiting strong allies, uncovering ancient threats… and what do I get? NOTHING!"

[Ding! The Supreme Sect System would like to remind the host that it does not reward whiny brats.]

Lin Feng's eye twitched. "EXCUSE ME?! Who's been leading this sect to greatness? Who just fought a war? Who—"

[Ding! Mission Completed: 'Suppress the Shadow Serpent Clan!']

[Mission Rating: SSS-Rank!]

[Rewards: Sect Expansion, Sect Guardian Beast, and a Mystery Reward!]

Lin Feng blinked. Then, he burst into laughter. "Hahaha! I knew my dear system wouldn't let me down!"

[Ding! You just insulted me five seconds ago. Pick a lane, idiot.]

Lin Feng coughed. "Ahem. So, what exactly am I getting?"

[First Reward: Sect Expansion!]

[Your sect has automatically upgraded from 'Shack Sect' to 'Small Sect'! Territory size increased! Max disciple capacity increased! Prestige slightly improved!]

Suddenly, the ground rumbled beneath him. The Sect of Chaos' humble base, previously a ragtag collection of tents and wooden huts, began shifting and expanding. Stone foundations emerged, and proper buildings started materializing. Even the sect's main hall transformed into an elegant, yet slightly menacing, structure.

Jiang Tian, Ren, and the other disciples ran out, their mouths hanging open.

"DID WE JUST GET AN UPGRADE?!" Ren exclaimed.

Jiang Tian smirked. "Finally! I was tired of sleeping in a tent!"

Lin Feng folded his arms proudly. "Of course! Your sect leader is just that amazing."

[Ding! Correction: It was the system's doing. Host is just the freeloader.]

Lin Feng's smug face twitched. "...Shut up."

A New Guardian Beast?!

[Ding! Second Reward: Sect Guardian Beast Summoning!]

A massive golden formation appeared in the middle of the sect, emitting a terrifying pressure. The disciples instinctively backed away as a powerful aura erupted from within.

A booming roar echoed through the land as a colossal Crimson Sky Drake emerged from the formation. Its scales gleamed like molten lava, and its wings could blot out the sun.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Lin Feng shouted, barely keeping his balance.

The drake lowered its head, golden eyes locking onto him. Then, to everyone's shock—

"Master!" The drake spoke in a deep, reverent tone. "I, Tianlong, have answered your call!"

Lin Feng blinked. "Wait… you're intelligent? You can talk?"

The drake nodded. "Of course. Do you think a mere beast is worthy of serving the Supreme Sect? I am an ancient being, chosen to guard your sect!"

Lin Feng smirked. "A talking, ultra-powerful dragon? Oh-ho, now we're talking!"

Ren, still recovering from the shock, muttered, "At this point, nothing surprises me anymore."

Jiang Tian nudged him. "You say that now, but just wait."

The Mystery Reward…?

[Ding! Final Reward: Mystery Prize!]

Lin Feng rubbed his hands together excitedly. "Alright, system, hit me with it!"

A golden light flashed, and suddenly, an ancient jade scroll appeared in Lin Feng's hands.

[Reward: Heavenly Chaos Scripture (Incomplete)!]

Lin Feng's excitement turned to confusion. "Incomplete?! You mean I only got half of it?!"

[Ding! Quit complaining. Even half of this technique can shake the heavens!]

Intrigued, Lin Feng examined the scroll. The moment he activated it, profound knowledge poured into his mind. He saw visions of cosmic storms, primordial energies clashing, and countless deities bowing before a supreme force.

His breathing quickened. "This… this is insane!"

Elder Shen, sensing the power radiating from the scroll, furrowed his brows. "Lin Feng, what kind of technique is that?"

Lin Feng grinned wildly. "A technique that might just make me unstoppable."

[Ding! Side Quest Unlocked: 'Complete the Heavenly Chaos Scripture!']

[Hint: The missing pages are scattered across different realms. Find them all to unlock the full power of the technique!]

Lin Feng rolled his eyes. "Of course there's a fetch quest."

Preparing for the Future

With the sect upgraded, a legendary beast protector, and a new divine technique, Lin Feng's strength had skyrocketed. But he knew this was just the beginning.

As night fell over the Sect of Chaos, he sat on the sect's new grand balcony, gazing at the horizon.

The Obsidian Hand was out there, plotting. And now, he had the means to fight back.

Lin Feng smirked. "Come at me, then. The Supreme Sect will rise above all!"

Far away, in the deepest shadows of the continent, a pair of glowing crimson eyes flickered open.

A dark voice whispered, "The Supreme Sect…? How amusing. Let's see how long you last."
