The Demon Sect, the Early Sage Dynasty.

Amidst the thick sea of clouds, the waves surge like anger, and the myriad peaks resemble islands scattered across the sea of clouds, like stars scattered across the sky, or like chess pieces on a chessboard.

At the outermost edge of the chessboard, a mountain stood distinctly shorter than the others, as if its peak had been magically sliced off, leaving behind only a flat expanse. On the flat ground atop the mountain, flying boats took off and landed, and the newly enrolled registered disciples were lined up.

Lv Yang is indeed one of them.

He had just traveled through time and space, and upon opening his eyes, he found himself in this place. The lingering memories within his body informed him that his current situation seemed to be quite dire.

According to the memories of the original body, there was a country named "Chen" under the rule of the First Sage Emperor.

Every three years, the State of Chen would send a group of registered disciples to the First Sage Emperor, who in turn guaranteed good weather and stability for the royal family in the State of Chen, just as Mount Taishan ensures stability.

At first glance, it seems like a tremendous opportunity to join the immortal sect and attain eternal life.

However, in reality, none of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries from the Chen state were willing to come. Only poor people like Lv Yang were sent over as "blood tribute".

After all, thousands of registered disciples are sent to the Early Sage Sect every three years, yet the number of official disciples in the sect has never shown a significant increase. Only the registered disciples keep disappearing one after another, as if they were not going to a sacred place for cultivation but to a bottomless abyss.

Just thinking about it is enough to send chills down one's spine.

"No wonder you're so weak, it feels like my body has been emptied..."

Lv Yang pinched his own arm, but it was all soft flesh, not a single hard part. It made him feel even worse. Just as he was about to get up, a pain came from his chest.

"The original body seems to have a disease, and this disease is... damn!"

Lv Yang cursed and grumbled a few more times. This was no longer a matter of weakness; he was completely terminally ill, and it seemed like he didn't have many days left to live.

Just when Lv Yang was feeling utterly hopeless, thinking that he had to rush through everything after just crossing over.

Suddenly, a tiny light spot appeared before his eyes, and then it rapidly expanded, turning into a screen at a speed visible to the naked eye!

[Name: Lv Yang]

[Shouyuan: 18]

[Cultivation: None]

[Talent: None]

[Skill: None]

[Divine Power: None]

[Treasure: None]

At this moment, Lu Yang looked at the system interface in front of him and suddenly felt like crying. Isn't it said that there is always a way out? As long as I want to go, the road is right under my feet!

System, give me some power!

Then, Lv Yang was dumbfounded.

Because he searched high and low, flipping through everything, he just couldn't find the plus sign he had been longing for in the skill column, not even a minus sign.

"No, system, how about I add some points?"

After searching for a long time, Lv Yang had to reluctantly accept the fact that the personal panel in front of him seemed to lack the ability to add points.

In other words, if he wants to improve, he has to rely on his own efforts.

Lv Yang: "..."

"Damn it, before I awakened the system, you told me to work hard. Now that I've awakened the system, you still want me to work hard. Isn't my system awakening in vain?"?

System, your mother died -

[Current remaining pages of Baishi Book: 100]

[Bai Shi Shu: After death, one can return to the initial time point and start a new life]

After reopening, you can choose one from the treasures, cultivation, and lifespan of your previous life, or give up all the gains of your previous life and awaken a talent

Dad, it's okay now.

Lv Yang suddenly became excited. Hundreds of reincarnations, what an immense treasure! As long as he could make good use of it, it would definitely propel him to great heights!

"The person whose name is called should come to me."

At that very moment, a dark-robed Taoist priest with a sinister expression appeared before everyone, holding a register in his hand and a candlestick floating beside him.

"Drip blood into the life lamp beside me, ignite the life fire, and from now on, you will be registered disciples of my Chusheng Sect."

Hearing these words, no one present showed any sign of joy.

Most of the people who could be sent here had heard of the notorious reputation of the First Sage Emperor, and they knew that being a so-called registered disciple was more of a curse than a blessing.

However, Daoist Priest in Black ignored everyone's thoughts and simply called out each name.

"Chen Liang."

"Here!"

The Taoist priest in black called out a name, and a small Taoist boy with rosy lips and white teeth beside Lv Yang stood up and hopped over to the Taoist priest.

This young Taoist boy is exceptionally handsome, with bright big eyes that seem to be able to speak. Most importantly, there is a spiritual aura between his eyebrows that even ordinary people can perceive. Moreover, judging from his expression and posture, he is intelligent and precocious. If he were in the mortal world, he would definitely be a promising student eagerly sought after by major academies.

As expected, the Taoist priest in black also showed a look of amazement upon seeing the situation:

"What a natural spiritual child!"

"Brother Daoist, you are too kind." The young Taoist boy bowed respectfully, and his tender childlike voice made people involuntarily develop a good impression of him.

Daoist Priest in Black laughed even louder.

"Not bad, not bad. I, the First Sage Emperor, need talents like you!"

With the words spoken, the black-robed Taoist priest picked up his pen and lightly scratched out the name of [Chen Liang] on the roster.

"Plop!"!

The next second, without any warning, the originally lively little Taoist suddenly rolled his eyes upwards, fell to the ground, and immediately lost consciousness.

After completing all these tasks, the man in black casually ordered

"Send the blood and flesh to the Alchemy Hall, the bones and soul to the Treasure Hall, and the internal organs to the Beast Taming Hall. Don't let such excellent talents go unnoticed."

In just a few words, the listeners, who were all registered disciples, were left dumbfounded.

Seeing this, the Taoist priest in black chuckled and said, "Don't misunderstand, junior brothers."

"Emperor Shengzong has always valued 'value', so the measure of a disciple's excellence lies solely in whether he can create sufficient value for Emperor Shengzong."

"The junior brother just now was a born spirit child with strong muscles and bones. Only after his death can he create the greatest value for the Holy Sect, which is why he died."

"As for you, junior brothers, with mediocre talents, you can only create value for the Holy Emperor by staying alive, so there's naturally no need to worry about these things."

"Next."

The Taoist priest in black continued to call out names, and everyone in the audience looked frightened but had no choice but to obey, for fear of following in the footsteps of the young Taoist boy and also being struck down.

"Lv Yang."

"Arrived."

Lv Yang walked out with a reverent expression.

The sight of the black-clothed Taoist fell on Lv Yang's handsome and elegant face at the first time. He was delighted at first, and then examined his muscles and bones.

But soon, he shook his head in disappointment.

Obviously, in his opinion, Lv Yang was nothing but handsome.

"Let's go to the Hall of Harmony."

Lv Yang didn't dare to ask further and quickly replied, "Yes."

After the distribution, Lv Yang received a jade token. The jade token was almost transparent, with his name engraved on it. It seemed as if a ball of flame was sealed inside.

In addition, he was also assigned a cultivation technique.

The cultivation technique is named "Yin-Yang Da Le Fu", which is precisely the technique assigned to Lv Yang in the Hehuan Hall. It is said that it can enable one to cultivate true qi and enter the Qi Refinement Realm.

The old worker leading the way casually said while guiding them, "The life fire inside the life token is your life. Remember to carry it with you. The formation of the Holy Sect, as well as spirit plants and spirit beasts, all recognize tokens and not people. If you forget to bring it one day and die in the Holy Sect, don't blame me for not warning you."

Soon, the group was led to a temple.

In front of the palace stood a voluptuous woman, dressed in a long skirt with the hem slit to the thigh, who was charming and enchanting with her every glance.

"Grunt..."

Lv Yang clearly heard the sound of someone swallowing saliva next to him.

Seeing everyone's gaze, the beautiful woman not only did not feel shy, but instead covered her mouth and chuckled softly, while gracefully lifting one side of her skirt with her delicate hands.

Under the hem of the skirt, a jade pendant was hanging prominently, swaying gently in front of her like a ball of white flowers.

Name on the card: Yu Suzhen.

"This is the Hall of Harmonious Love. I, Yu Suzhen, am your senior sister."

In the next second, Lv Yang noticed that the beautiful woman named Yusuzhen's eyes lit up slightly, and her gaze fell on him, fixed and unreserved.

"This junior brother is so handsome, he must be a disciple of our Hehuan Hall."

Yusuzhen chuckled, then twisted her waist like a water snake, her skirt swaying as she walked step by step towards Lv Yang. The white flowers swaying made Lv Yang's head spin.

"You look pretty good. Come with me, and I'll introduce you to the situation of the Hehuan Hall."

Lv Yang hastily clasped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Sister Yu."

"Why are you so polite?"

Yusuzhen flirtatiously rolled her eyes at Lv Yang, then turned around, swaying her hips and buttocks to the left and right with her slender waist, causing the hearts of the onlookers to swell with desire.

Lv Yang didn't dare to look too long, and silently followed.

"We, disciples of the Holy Emperor, have internal and external divisions. The four outer temples, namely the Treasure Refinement Temple, the Pill Refinement Temple, the Beast Domestication Temple, and the Union Temple, are where you registered disciples go."

"Only those who have passed the tests of the four outer gate halls can enter the inner gate, receive true teachings, and become formal disciples."

"You are quite lucky to join our Hehuan Hall. You won't have to endure the hardships and sufferings like those in the other three halls. After all, the tests in our Hehuan Hall are much easier..."

Speaking of which, Yu Suzhen suddenly leaned over to Lu Yang's side.

"Do you want to know what it is?"

In the next second, Lv Yang felt a breath of warm air brush against his ear and a fragrance linger around his nose. Turning around, he saw an exquisite and charming face right in front of him.

"Please give me some advice, Senior Sister," said Lv Yang, raising his head.

"That is... dual cultivation."

A delicate and charming voice whispered in his ear, like a lover's soft murmurs. Before the words were even finished, a slender and delicate hand had already rested on Lu Yang's head.

a slender waist that can be encircled with one hand

Lv Yang suddenly drew a sharp intake of cold breath.
