Aiming for the Emperor

At the same time!

Liuguang Sect!

Zhong Qing stood with his hands behind his back atop a mountain peak.

“Given the Host’s slow Cultivation progress, please make a Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm as soon as possible.

After reaching the Emperor Realm, the System will unlock new functions!”

The System’s voice timely echoed in Zhong Qing’s mind.

This made Zhong Qing’s eyes move slightly.

His Cultivation progress was indeed a bit slow; it had been several years, and he was still only lingering in the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

If his life experience were written into a book, it would probably have eight hundred chapters by now.

With such a powerful System, was the Cultivation speed so slow that even the System couldn't stand it anymore?

“System, what are the new functions?”

“The System cannot disclose them.

Please unlock them yourself after the Host makes a Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm.”

Goodness, it’s quite mysterious!

However, Zhong Qing began to feel a sense of anticipation.

Every time the System unlocked new functions, it brought him a wave of powerful assistance!

He figured this newly added function would certainly not disappoint him.

It was just that making a Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm was truly difficult for him!

When he was in Central Continent First Heaven, Zhong Qing had accepted more than a dozen Emperor Realm Disciples.

After coming to Central Continent Second Heaven, he accepted more than a dozen Emperor Realm Disciples again.

With so many Emperors, the Cultivation returned after their Breakthrough, logically speaking, even an ordinary person who had never Cultivated before, after digesting this vast amount of Cultivation, would at least be able to become a Pseudo-immortal Realm powerhouse.

Yet, he hadn't even touched the threshold of the Emperor Realm.

Even now, Zhong Qing still felt that his Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm was nowhere in sight.

“Detecting that the Host’s path to becoming an Emperor has a relatively high Breakthrough difficulty, the System is now activating the ‘Disciples and Grand-Disciples’ function to assist the Host!”

“Effect of the ‘Disciples and Grand-Disciples’ function: The Cultivation growth of Disciples accepted by the Host’s Disciples, and even Disciples accepted by Grand-Disciples, can also be returned to the Host one-to-one.”

The System’s words made Zhong Qing slightly stunned.

“System, do you mean that any Disciple taken by my Disciples, no matter which generation, their Cultivation growth will also be returned to me?”

“Yes, Host!”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Qing’s pupils couldn't help but contract slightly.

His breathing also became a little hurried.

This ‘Disciples and Grand-Disciples’ function was too powerful!

The power of one person was always limited.

While he could accept Disciples, the world was so vast, how many Disciples could he accept?

But this newly added function of the System completely solved the problem he was facing.

Putting everything else aside, starting from him, as long as each of his Disciples accepted ten Disciples, and those ten Grand-Disciples each accepted ten more, and so on, constantly multiplying, given a little time to ferment, the number of his Disciples and Grand-Disciples would definitely reach an extremely terrifying level.

If the timeline were extended, after thousands or tens of thousands of years, he might even be able to absorb a massive amount of Cultivation in a single breath.

This function was undoubtedly extremely terrifying!

Even Zhong Qing’s state of mind, at this moment, couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Without much hesitation, he immediately summoned the fourteen Emperor Rank Disciples he had accepted in the Liuguang Sect.

To apply the System’s ‘Disciples and Grand-Disciples’ function, the assistance of his Disciples was indispensable.

The high-ranking members of the Liuguang Sect, led by Sect Master Crimson Luan, had been in high spirits recently.

Their Cultivation had all made varying degrees of progress recently.

Although Sect Master Crimson Luan’s Cultivation remained at the Three Tribulation Emperor Realm, with the help of an Immortal Artifact, he believed that his desire to advance further and achieve Pseudo-Immortal status was only a matter of time.

As for the others, they also felt that the path ahead was smooth, at least within the Emperor Realm, the so-called Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations would no longer be an obstacle to their progress.

And all of this, they had not forgotten, was given by him.

Without Zhong Qing, how could they have their current situation?

Therefore, upon receiving Zhong Qing’s summons, everyone did not delay in the slightest and rushed to Zhong Qing’s location at the first opportunity.

The setting sun slanted, and the sky was filled with red clouds.

Above the green mountain, fourteen figures arrived from all directions.

They performed a Revered Master-Disciple bow to Zhong Qing on the mountaintop.

“Disciples greet Revered Master!”

“May Revered Master please tell us, what instructions do you have for us?”

After everyone had offered their greetings one after another, Sect Leader Chi Luan of the Liuguang Sect approached Zhong Qing and respectfully asked.

Zhong Qing stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Crimson Luan.

“I am preparing to give you all a task!”

“Revered Master, please speak!”

Everyone’s expressions became serious, and they said respectfully in unison.

“You all go out and accept more Disciples.

You don’t need to be too strict with their talent; the more Disciples you accept, the better.”

Everyone exchanged glances, somewhat puzzled.

What kind of strange task was this?

Zhong Qing had no intention of explaining to them.

He waved his hand, and as a stream of light flashed, hundreds of Cultivation Techniques instantly appeared before everyone.

Crimson Luan’s expression was moved.

“Half… Half-Immortal Rank Cultivation Techniques!”

Grand Elder Great Elder Chen Qing’s face also showed endless astonishment: “And they are not ordinary Half-Immortal Rank Cultivation Techniques, but those that are infinitely close to true Immortal Rank Cultivation Techniques!”

It could be said that any one of these Cultivation Techniques, if spread, would cause a storm of blood and gore, driving countless Pseudo-immortal Realm forces to madness.

At this moment, everyone present felt a surging tide in their hearts.

Although they knew their Revered Master was extraordinary, capable of producing more than a dozen Immortal Artifacts at once.

But at this moment, everyone’s hearts still couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

After all, the previous Liuguang Sect didn’t even have a single ordinary Half-Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique.

But now, Half-Immortal Rank Cultivation Techniques, like common cabbages by the roadside, appeared in piles and bundles before them.

This kind of impact, for everyone, was undoubtedly enormous.

It was like mountains of gold and silver, exposed without warning before ordinary people.

“You may Cultivate these Cultivation Techniques yourselves, or you may use them to instruct the Disciples you accept.”

“My only requirement is to accept enough Disciples as quickly as possible!”

“Yes, Revered Master!”

Everyone excitedly accepted the Cultivation Techniques bestowed by Zhong Qing.

In each person’s heart, boundless motivation arose.

Although they still didn’t understand why Revered Master wanted them to go out and accept Disciples?

But Revered Master’s kindness to them was as heavy as a mountain.

What they needed to do was not to question, but only to absolutely obey Revered Master’s commands.

“Go!”

Zhong Qing waved his hand, dismissing everyone.

These fourteen people were just the beginning!

He believed that before long, the number of his Disciples and Grand-Disciples would surely skyrocket exponentially!

He truly looked forward to the scene when the number of Disciples and Grand-Disciples breaks through ten billion, a hundred billion, a trillion, ten trillion… and the Cultivation returns every day.
