The True Lineage, the Place of New Life.

A True Path Sect disciple dressed in white with auspicious cloud patterns was leading a large group of people, shuttling between the peaks. He would stop every now and then to introduce something to the group. This group consisted of the newly initiated disciples of the True Path Sect.

Perhaps because it was their first time visiting the legendary immortal sect, everyone couldn't hide their excitement. Even Ning Hui, who had experience from several lifetimes, couldn't help but cast shocked glances around. This was the True Evolution Sect! He had finally... finally joined this immortal sect.

But he never imagined that the Zhenyan Sect, which was still unknown at this time, had already grown to such a large scale, especially with its shockingly dense spiritual energy. Compared to the Chuanyun Sect he had belonged to in his previous life, no! Even top-tier sects didn't have such dense spiritual energy.

Ning Hui was reborn; to be precise, this wasn't his first time, but his second. He didn't know what was going on. In his previous lives, he hadn't been a particularly powerful cultivator, at most only reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. But after his two deaths, he returned to the time before he joined a cultivation sect.

Recalling the reasons for his two deaths, a chill ran down his spine. It wasn't the machinations of villains, nor the pursuit of opportunities, nor even the inevitable end of his lifespan. His death was a celestial calamity… a calamity that swept across the entire Immortal Continent, nearly destroying it. Therefore, no matter how many times he was reborn, no matter where he fled, he would be swept up in it. And in this catastrophe, the only force capable of turning the tide was the True Evolution Sect!

Ning Hui was filled with excitement. What might have been just an entry test for others was his only hope for survival. Even after succeeding, the excitement in his heart couldn't be contained until he heard the disciple who had guided them announce that they had become members of the True Exploration Sect. Only then did his taut heart finally settle down.

Therefore, compared to the other new disciples who were merely curious and surprised, Ning Hui's eyes were filled with more excitement and anticipation for the future. This was the True Transformation Sect, a sect that was said to be protected by the gods, producing countless talented individuals and creating numerous top-tier cultivation techniques that had been passed down through generations; more importantly, it had a master whom all cultivators willingly addressed as their esteemed teacher, the legendary Master of the World: Qiu Zhang!

Finally... he finally joined this place! At least he doesn't have to die anymore!

A multitude of emotions flashed across Ning Hui's young face, sweeping away his original youthful air and inexplicably revealing a touch of vicissitude. However, having experienced several lifetimes, he quickly adjusted and followed the lead disciple, listening attentively to the disciple's introduction to the sect.

At first, everyone was excited, but the more they listened, the more they felt that something was wrong. This True Transformation Sect seemed to be different from the high-class sect they remembered.

"Come, come, junior brothers, you can't fly on swords yet. Only here can you see the full view of my True Evolution Sect. Let me introduce it to you. These floating peaks are called Peak One, Peak Two, Peak Three, Peak Four..."

"..." Is the name really that simple and straightforward?

"Have you remembered? It's okay if you can't. There are numbers on each teleportation array before each peak. The number you see indicates which peak it is. Once you officially begin your cultivation, apart from the sect leader's main peak and the second peak where the Venerable Elders live, you can live on whichever peak you want. But you'll have to build your own houses!"

"..." No, are the disciples' accommodations really that casual?

"Our sect doesn't have many restrictions. You can go anywhere within the sect, but you can't go to the main hall these days. Elder Ling is breaking through there, and the sect leader has announced that there will be a limit on the number of people going there. It's best not to go there unless you have to."

"..." What does "traffic restriction" mean?

"Oh, one more thing! There's a dense forest ten miles outside the sect. It's teeming with demonic beasts and very dangerous, so don't go there casually. If any of you choose to become beast cultivators in the future, you can go there and try to catch some spirit beasts, but remember not to catch any long-haired demonic beasts; those are raised by Lord Fenze. If you catch the wrong one, it will get angry!"

"Lord Fenze is..." someone asked.

"Oh...look up!" The disciple pointed to a figure fluttering around in the sky. "See that demon beast chasing birds and plucking their feathers in the sky? That's Lord Fenze. He's the sect leader's spirit beast, and he's usually very easy to talk to!" After saying that, he mysteriously took a few steps closer and lowered his voice, "I'll let you in on a secret: if you want to catch any high-level spirit beast that you can't beat, just compliment Fenze on his furry coat, and he'll definitely help you."

"..." No, is it possible to do it like this?

"Let me tell you about some of the important people in my sect. First, of course, is the sect leader. The sect leader is the best person in the world—good personality, good temper, high cultivation, good looks..." He rattled off a list of virtues for several minutes until he ran out of words, then concluded, "Anyway, you'll see when you meet him. Then there's Venerable Yuan. Venerable Yuan is the most powerful cultivator in the sect. As for him..."

He seemed unsure how to describe it, pausing for a moment before saying, "Anyway... if you ever have any problems you can't solve, just go to Venerable Yuan's place. It can be anything from cultivation bottlenecks and spell obstacles to lost items and stomach upsets. As long as you can get a word or two of good advice from the Venerable, all your problems will be solved. Of course, remember to queue up!"

"..." No, is Venerable Yuan some kind of omniscient being?

"Next is Elder Ling Qi. He is currently at the Golden Core stage, but he is in charge of all affairs in the sect. You can ask him for help with any problems. There is also Elder Feng Yu. Once you decide which peak to build your cave dwelling on, you will need to ask him for help with materials and such."

"Then who will teach us cultivation?" Ning Hui couldn't help but ask, a little nervous in her heart, thinking of the world-renowned master from her previous life. The reason why the True Transformation Sect was able to turn the tide was precisely because Master Qiu had taught so many powerful disciples. If she were to become his disciple, she would have the power to protect herself during the Heavenly Tribulation. "Whom should we become disciples of?"

"Oh, there's no need for apprenticeship!" the disciple replied directly. "The one who teaches cultivation in this sect is Master Qiu Zhangqiu. Once you have spiritual roots, you can go and listen to Master Qiu's lectures. He will also give you some basic courses on guiding qi into the body."

"Master Qiu... Master Qiu! He... he'll personally teach us?" Ning Hui was somewhat shocked. She had been thinking about how to become his disciple, but she didn't expect to be able to hear him as soon as she entered the door. "Can everyone listen?"

"Of course, Master Qiu's lectures are all public lectures, and he wishes every disciple in the sect could attend!" the disciple said matter-of-factly. "But don't be late, Master Qiu hates being late the most, or you'll be punished by copying Qiu Zhang's formula!"

"Punishment...punishment for copying?!" Isn't Qiu Zhang Jue a top-tier cultivation technique? Even though this technique will spread throughout the world in the future, isn't using it as a punishment for being late to copy texts a bit excessive?

"Hmm, ten times at a time! And..." the disciple said mysteriously again, "Let me tell you another secret: after class, it's best not to go to Master Qiu to ask questions. He'll make you copy all sorts of cultivation techniques until you can't read them anymore."

Everyone: "..."

Ning Hui: "..."

Why does it suddenly feel like the title of "Teacher of the World" isn't so prestigious anymore?
