4: Chapter 4 Summoning Tribulation Transcending Powerhouses

"System, I have already recruited my first great Disciple. Where is the reward?"

At this moment, Jiang Changge had already returned to Kunlun Hall. Leaning back in his lounge chair, he asked the System for his rewards.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully recruiting a Disciple. You have obtained one enlightenment tree, one summoning card, one cultivation advancement card, one heaven mending pill, a pool of xuanqing liquid, and a Sect Trial Tower!]

[summoning card: Can summon a Cultivator of a random Realm.]

[cultivation advancement card: Can directly increase cultivation by one minor Realm. If used at the Peak of Undergoing Tribulation, it cannot lead directly to Immortal Ascension, but it can increase the probability of a successful tribulation.]

[heaven mending pill: Can repair any fragmented Physique and trigger its Awakening.]

[Trial Tower: Consists of ninety-nine floors. Each floor has a corresponding trial expert to help Disciples improve their combat techniques and hone their Divine Abilities and spells.]

As Jiang Changge's voice fell, he received the notification sounds for the System rewards.

He hadn't expected the rewards for recruiting a Disciple to be so much richer than the daily check-in rewards.

"In that case, if I just go down the mountain now and recruit every Disciple I see, wouldn't I become invincible in no time?"

"I think it might even be possible to achieve Immortal Ascension on the spot!"

Jiang Changge stood up in excitement.

"System, you should have said so earlier. If I knew the rewards for recruiting Disciples were this rich, I would have gone down the mountain long ago."

[Host, please dismiss this thought. Do not try to exploit System bugs. Only by recruiting those destined for you can the System rewards be triggered.]

The System's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the excited Jiang Changge, making him sit back down in his lounge chair.

"System, then what kind of Disciple counts as 'destined'? Those with extremely high talent? Those possessing a Dao Body? Rebirth practitioners? Reincarnated ones?"

[All of the above could be destined ones, but even those with average or no talent for Cultivating immortality could be as well.]

[Regardless of the Disciple's Aptitude, as long as there is a destiny, rewards will be granted upon recruitment.]

"Destined... this standard is a bit too vague."

He muttered to himself, casting his gaze toward the mist-shrouded mountains outside the hall.

"It seems recruiting Disciples cannot be rushed or forced."

"I should just honestly stay in the Small World to develop. Once I reach the Peak of Undergoing Tribulation, I'll go down the mountain to find destined ones."

"However, given my luck, perhaps more destined ones like Lu Jinghan will keep showing up at my door."

Then, with a thought, Jiang Changge chose to use the cultivation advancement card first.

[Ding! cultivation advancement card used successfully!]

Just as the System's voice finished in his mind, a surge of absolutely pure spiritual energy suddenly appeared within Jiang Changge's body.

It spread from his Dantian to his limbs, passing through all his acupoints and opening his extraordinary meridians.

"Refreshing!"

As Jiang Changge slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, his Realm had already reached the Mahayana Middle Stage.

This brought him one step closer to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.

According to the System's explanation, the cultivation he obtained directly from the System...

...would not affect his Dao foundation at all, nor would it cause unstable aura or a shaky Foundation.

Furthermore, although the Creation Sutra he practiced had no specific rank, it was incredibly powerful, making him invincible within the same Realm.

Next, Jiang Changge looked at the ancient and unadorned summoning card, its back covered in patterns of shifting stars, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

With his luck, he should be able to summon an Undergoing Tribulation expert directly.

"System, use the summoning card!"

The summoning card instantly burned into silver flames, swirling in the hall to outline a gate of light.

The gate of light rippled like water, and a figure solidified from the void, stepping out.

The newcomer wore green robes and carried a long sword on his back. His face was lean, and his eyes seemed to hold the vicissitudes of settled ages.

He bowed to Jiang Changge: "Ling Xu pays respects to the Sect Master."

Jiang Changge's Divine Sense swept over him, and his heart jolted slightly.

This man's aura was restrained like a deep abyss; he actually had a cultivation of the Undergoing Tribulation Late Stage!

"Elder Ling Xu, please rise," Jiang Changge said warmly, suppressing the joy in his heart.

He truly was lucky; a casual summon resulted in an Undergoing Tribulation expert.

"From now on, I will have to trouble the Elder to look after Kunlun."

"I shall obey the Sect Master's command." Elder Ling Xu bowed again, and then his figure faded, merging into the Sect's Void Realm.

Afterward, Jiang Changge took out all the remaining rewards. The heaven mending pill faintly emitted a seven-colored radiance.

As for the xuanqing liquid, the enlightenment tree, and the Trial Tower, they turned into three spheres of light floating in the air, waiting to be placed.

He stood up and waved his sleeve, and the three spheres of light flew out of the hall.

The sphere of xuanqing liquid landed on the back mountain of the main Peak, transforming into a jade-like pond about half an acre in size.

The pond water was clear green, brimming with dense vitality and Spiritual Qi. It had miraculous effects on tempering the Physical Body and nourishing the Divine Soul.

The sphere for the enlightenment tree took root at the summit of the main Peak, and a sprout broke through the soil.

It grew with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it had become a towering ancient tree.

The canopy was like a ceremonial umbrella, and the leaves were a pale gold color, flowing with Dao rhymes.

Dao rhymes permeated beneath the tree; Cultivating here could greatly enhance one's Comprehension Ability.

The most eye-catching was the Trial Tower.

The sphere of light flew to the eastern side of the Sect square, transforming into a ninety-nine-story bronze giant tower.

Countless combat reliefs were engraved on the tower's body, emitting a vast and ancient pressure.

Above the tower gate, the words "Trial" were written in a powerful, calligraphic style, with a faint Battle Intent soaring to the heavens.

The Spiritual Qi within the Sect surged again due to the appearance of these three items.

Amidst the churning mist, spiritual rain actually condensed and fell; vegetation grew wildly, and spiritual springs gushed forth.

"The Sect has finally taken its initial shape."

Jiang Changge stood before the hall, overlooking this scene, feeling a sense of nostalgia and accomplishment.

Next, his gaze fell upon the heaven mending pill emitting seven-colored radiance. This was precisely what he had prepared for Lu Jinghan.

Originally, after learning that Lu Jinghan possessed the Space-Time Dao Body, Jiang Changge had searched through the Medicinal Pills he had obtained from check-ins in the System warehouse.

However, he found that none of the pills could repair and awaken the Space-Time Dao Body, so he had to wait to get one from future check-in rewards.

He hadn't expected the System to be so considerate as to directly reward a heaven mending pill to awaken the Space-Time Dao Body.

"Jinghan! Come to Kunlun Hall."

With a slight thought, his voice pierced through space and entered directly into the pavilion where Lu Jinghan was located.

At this time, Lu Jinghan had just finished digesting the mysterious feeling brought by that strange Cultivation Technique.

He was about to switch his cultivation and further his insights when he was summoned directly to Kunlun Hall.

"Jinghan, do you know what kind of Physique you have? And why you were able to be reborn back to ten thousand years ago?"

Jiang Changge went straight to the point.

Lu Jinghan was stunned and shook his head: "I do not have any special Physique."

He was very clear about this. In his past life, he had Cultivated to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage without sensing even a hint of a special Physique.

His ability to reach the Peak was entirely due to his death-defying conviction and hard work, Cultivating step by step.

"As for why I was able to live another life... could it be because of that stone I found in the ruins?"

Lu Jinghan carefully recalled the scene of his Rebirth. At that time, there seemed to be a small fragment of stone in his hand.

However, after his Rebirth, it had turned to ash with a single squeeze and dissipated into the world.

Jiang Changge shook his head and said, "You are unaware because your Physique is too powerful. It is one of the ten supreme Physiques, the Space-Time Dao Body."

"Furthermore, your Space-Time Dao Body is fragmented and damaged. Coupled with the fact that the Laws of the Great Dao are not apparent in this Realm, you were unaware of your own Physique."

"Space-Time Dao Body? One of the ten supreme Physiques?" Lu Jinghan suddenly looked up, his eyes full of shock.
