In a world ruled by cultivation, where strength determines fate and the weak are left to perish, Lin Feng was born cursed — his spiritual meridians severed, incapable of absorbing Qi. Branded as useless and discarded by even the most humble sects, his life in the desolate village of Qinghe is one of ridicule, shame, and quiet desperation.

But destiny has a strange sense of irony.

When a celestial anomaly strikes the mountains near his village, Lin Feng stumbles upon an artifact buried deep beneath the earth — an ancient shard of cosmic power bound to a forgotten era. It activates a long-lost entity within him: the Godly Cultivation System. With its guidance, he can cultivate at 1,000 times the normal speed, unlocking strength at a rate the world has never seen.

Yet, such power comes at a cost.

As Lin Feng rises, the world shifts around him. From battling vicious spirit beasts in forgotten wildernesses to unearthing ancient ruins buried in myth, from navigating deadly sect politics to confronting entities that defy mortal comprehension, he is pulled into a cosmic game far greater than he can imagine.

The lines between right and wrong blur as power tempts him. Enemies will rise. Allies will fall. And the question will echo:

Is Lin Feng the System's master... or its pawn?

Lin Feng didn't waste a second after joining.


While most outer disciples celebrated or rested, he entered the Sect Mission Hall and selected his first task.


Mission: Retrieve the Heartblossom Orchid


A few days' journey away, the Blackmist Ravine was known for toxic mists and predatory beasts.


The journey itself was uneventful—until the ravine.


Dark fog clung to the air like poison. Visibility dropped to a few meters. Qi interference made flying impossible.


But Lin Feng adapted quickly, activating a basic Wind technique to disperse the mist in a narrow radius.


Within hours, he'd slain three Mistfang Serpents, a pack of Boneclaw Hounds, and evaded a greater beast he wasn't ready to face—yet.


Quest Objective: Heartblossom Orchid – 120 meters northeast. Guarded by Toxicshade Panther.


Lin Feng crouched behind a boulder and observed.


The panther was sleek, with deep purple fur and glowing eyes. A mid-tier Tier 2 beast. Fast. Venomous.


Astral Art – Starpiercer Lance (Locked Skill Detected)


Reach Foundation Establishment Perform 3 Combat Chain Sequences in real combat


The fight was brutal. The panther struck like a shadow, its claws tearing at his robe, poison eating at his sleeve.


But Lin Feng analyzed its patterns, movements, timing.


Astral Art: Starpiercer Lance – Unlocked (Tier 1 Skill)


Effect: Condenses astral Qi into a piercing lance of starlight. Armor-piercing.


Lin Feng extended his palm. Energy coalesced into a silver-blue spear.


The Starpiercer Lance struck the panther through the chest, pinning it to the rock wall.


Beast Defeated: Toxicshade Panther (Tier 2 – Mid)


Lin Feng retrieved the orchid, cleaned his blade, and turned north.


But the System Lord had just begun his conquest.
