Ancient Continent, East Region.
Heavenly path sect, Celestial Spire.
Heavenly path sect is an extremely powerful top sect in the Eastern Region of the Ancient Continent, with nine branches.
They are: Enlightenment Peak, Sky Soaring Peak, Radiant Dawn Peak, Hidden Cloud Peak, Blazing Sun Peak, Carefree Peak, Falling Cloud Peak, Fallen Spirit Peak, and Celestial Spire peak.
Celestial Spire peak is the last branch of Heavenly path sect in terms of strength, and its inheritance has withered, with only the peak master and a disciple left.
"Disciple, I will leave first, and I will give the responsibility of the Celestial Spire to you. Don't let the inheritance of Celestial Spire be cut off in your generation, otherwise, even if you die and go to hell in the future, I will not let you go!"
On the beautiful mountain, a ragged white-haired old man trembled and spoke.
The old man is Wang Lixuan, the current peak master of Celestial Spire.
Obviously, at this time, his breath was weak, his eyes were silent, and he is already dying, with only his last breath left.
There was a handsome young man with outstanding temperament in front of the white-haired old man.
"Master, I am just an ordinary person. I have no other skills except being handsome [Being narcissist, I guess, but he is the protagonist]. You don't have to..." The young man said, his eyes full of panic.
Before the young man finished speaking, Wang Lixuan had already taken his last breath and completely lost his vitality.
"Damn... This old man is cheating people. He dragged me into this cheating Celestial Spire for three days and then let me go. Not even a bird id willing to stay here and he also wants me to protect this Celestial Spire. Isn't this funny?"
The young man cursed, his face full of resentment.
The young man's name is Chen Luo. He was originally a game planner of a Mega tech industry in the 21st Century Blue Star. In a krypton gold event, he accidentally changed the probability value.
As a result, many players rushed N648 but still did not win the prize, and a large number of players blasted Chen Luo's Weibo.
As a top planner of that company, how could Chen Luo be so fussy with these players?
He immediately turned into a keyboard Immortal and went straight to the players.
The battle was extremely fierce and bloody, and the Weibo server was paralyzed for a time.
Chen Luo only remembered that he had broken more than a dozen keyboards in the office.
He was finally sent to the hospital due to exhaustion, and came to this world when he woke up.
He had just arrived in this world three days ago and was met by the master of Celestial Spire.
The master of Celestial Spire vowed that Chen Luo had the talent of a great emperor and would definitely be an unparalleled figure in the future, and he would train Chen Luo well.
After a period of deception by the master of Celestial Spire, Chen Luo was taken to Celestial Spire by the master of Celestial Spire.
Unexpectedly, after testing, he was found to be a waste physique that could not be cultivated, and he did not even have a sea of qi.
How could he save Celestial Spire? Chen Luo felt aggrieved.
Heavenly path sect has sect rules. If the number of people in a branch is less than two and no disciples are recruited within a month, the branch will be disbanded.
If Chen Luo wants to save Celestial Spire, he must recruit another disciple from Celestial Spire, but Chen Luo is just an ordinary person.
Celestial Spire is located on the top of the mountains. Chen Luo is a mortal. It is difficult for him to leave Celestial Spire, let alone recruit people for Celestial Spire.
Moreover, Celestial Spire is now so poor that only one peak is left. There is no cultivation resource. Not to mention finding people, even birds can't be recruited...
Old man, old man, you are really a jerk. You promised to train me, but you went cold in three days. Chen Luo just felt a little pain.
Now I can only lie down and wait to be expelled from the sect.
As for saving Celestial Spire, I'm sorry, I really don't have the ability.
The void trembles... A ripple spreads through the threads of fate...
📜 [Sovereign Peak Codex] initializing...
"The Dao stirs, and yet you lie here like a half-dead cultivator whose core's been swapped with tofu…"
"Tch. Even the Heavens are sighing at your laziness."
"Honestly, I expected more resistance before you hit rock bottom—but hey, less work for me!"
🐉 "Fear not, Host. Though your spirit is weary and your ambition crushed like a mortal ant beneath a divine sandal... the Codex has arrived."
💥 "Congratulations! You are now bound by the [Sovereign Peak Codex] — because clearly, you can't even ascend without divine intervention."
"Now get up. Immortality isn't going to chase itself."
At that moment, a strange hum—part mechanical, part divine—echoed through Chen Luo's consciousness.
His eyes widened in shock.
This voice… This resonance...
"Ahem. Connection stabilized. Host detected. Mental state: pathetic. Cultivation status: rock bottom. Initiating awakening sequence…"r
Chen Luo stiffened.
A system?! My golden finger?
In an instant, his despair flipped into exhilaration.
From the pit to the peak—just like that.
I knew it! How could a handsome transmigrator like me not come with a cheat code?
With the death of his master, the world had felt cold and cruel. But now?
The heavens had clearly taken notice.
Chen Luo's chest burned with rising anticipation. As a former top-tier game planner, he understood one thing better than anyone:
A system... meant cheats.
And cheats meant ascension.
[Sovereign Peak Codex successfully loaded.]
The voice returned, smoother now, brimming with smug superiority.
"Congratulations, Host. The Sovereign Peak Codex has descended, because clearly, you need divine intervention to amount to anything."
Chen Luo blinked, ignoring the sarcasm.
System, introduce yourself!
"This Codex exists to forge the greatest Peak Master in all realms. Whether you're ready or not."
Chen Luo frowned. Still too vague.
Speak human language! Give me some actual functions!
[Ding! Sign-in function unlocked.]
[Daily sign-ins yield rare and powerful rewards. Would you like to sign in now?]
His eyes lit up.
Now that's what I'm talking about.
System, sign me in!
[First sign-in confirmed.]
[Reward: Saint Realm Cultivation Base — granted.]
Chen Luo froze.
Saint Realm... on the first day?!
This wasn't a reward—it was a divine push straight into the heavens.
He remembered his master's teachings well:
Body Tempering → Qi Gathering → Xuandan → Spiritual Sea → Nirvana → Creation → Saint → Saint King → Great Saint → Quasi-Emperor → Emperor.
Saint was already the seventh level—a realm of legends. To walk the skies, shatter peaks, part seas… this was no small gift.
Even the peak masters of the Heavenly Path Sect were barely Saints!
Hah! Who needs slow cultivation when I've got a divine bug in the game of life?
"System! What are you waiting for?! Dump that Saint Realm into my core!"
For a moment, silence.
Then—
BOOOOM—!!!
The heavens groaned. The spiritual energy around Celestial Spire surged like a breached dam.
A violent storm of Qi burst into Chen Luo's body, twisting, churning, transforming.
Body Tempering – 1st level… 2nd… 5th… 9th.
Qi Gathering – 1st… 7th… 9th.
Xuandan… Spiritual Sea… Nirvana… Creation…
Saint – Level 1!
All within the time it took for a cup of tea to cool.
Chen Luo stood in silence, his body trembling with power. His skin shimmered with light. His soul felt reborn.
So this is… the power of a Saint.
He clenched his fist. The mountain beneath his feet seemed to groan.
If someone had stood before him just now, they'd have been flattened by the pressure alone.
Chen Luo grinned.
"Peak Master? Pfft. I'm just getting started."
