Chapter 2: Do You Want to Cultivate?:
The sudden voice in his ear made Xu Ze's body tremble.
The system?
Xu Ze was overjoyed.
As a transmigrator, how could he not know what a system was?
It was the ultimate cheat every transmigrator needed!
"But I’ve been in this world for twenty years, and the system only activates now... What kind of..."
Xu Ze felt a bit like complaining.
But thankfully, it activated just in time.
With the system, he now had hope of breaking through his bottleneck.
"System, what functions do you have?"
Xu Ze quickly inquired.
[Replying to the host, this system is a Random Task System]
[As long as you complete random tasks, the system will reward you based on the task's completion level]
[Reward packages come in four stages: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow]
[Each package has a chance to contain high-level cultivation techniques, divine artifacts, various pills, and task points]
[With task points, the host can exchange for various items]
[Please strive to complete tasks to receive higher-level rewards!]
Xu Ze nodded, and then asked: "Since it's a random task system, what’s the first task?"
[Random Task Activated!]
[Host must cultivate the 1st stage of the Transcendence Realm cultivator from scratch within one week!]
"From scratch, cultivating the 1st stage of the Transcendence Realm within a week?"
Xu Ze was dumbfounded.
There were ten realms in the cultivation: the Nascent Realm, the Transcendence Realm, the Condensation Realm, the Fusion Realm, the Spirit Gathering Realm, the Spirit Division Realm, the Spirit Transformation Realm, the Perfection Realm, the Peak Realm, and the Supreme Realm.
Each stage had ten stages, and each was like a mountain.
Even for a genius, reaching the 1st stage of the Transcendence Realm from scratch in one week was nearly impossible!
This random task was overly demanding!
Xu Ze gritted his teeth, frowning.
Actually, if he tried hard enough, he might be able to cultivate the 1st stage of the Transcendence Realm cultivator within a week.
As the Heavenly Dark Sect's Holy Son, he had access to countless high-grade cultivation techniques and various pills.
If he went all out, it was possible to achieve it within a week.
However, another condition posed a significant problem.
From scratch.
This meant that none of the formal disciples of the Heavenly Dark Sect would qualify.
They all had some basic cultivation, even the ordinary disciples had some level of ability.
Finding someone with zero cultivation here was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Even if he looked outside, talent and aptitude would be major issues.
With only one week, he had no room for trial and error.
If he chose the wrong person, switching to another candidate in time would be almost impossible.
What to do, what to do...
While contemplating this, Xu Ze passed by the Sect Hall and noticed the girl who had finished cleaning and was about to leave with a broom.
He remembered this girl.
Five years ago, his master picked her up from the roadside.
His master mentioned she had good talent but was somewhat introverted, so she had been assigned odd jobs in the Heavenly Dark Sect.
The plan was to let her cultivate once she became more sociable.
If she proved capable, she could stay as a formal disciple.
If not, she would remain a servant disciple.
Five years had passed, and she was still the same.
Though she had grown into a beautiful young woman, her introverted nature made her unpopular in the sect.
Xu Ze rubbed his chin.
He remembered her name was...
Gu Ling'er?
Looking at the vacant-eyed girl, Xu Ze suddenly had an idea.
"Since Master said she had good talent, she shouldn't be too bad."
"And she has been here for five years without touching any cultivation techniques, making her a true beginner."
"Isn't she the perfect target?"
Xu Ze was delighted and snapped his fingers.
With this thought, Xu Ze immediately approached and stopped Gu Ling'er, who was about to leave.
Gu Ling'er slowly raised her head, and looked at Xu Ze with her empty eyes.
The bottomless void in her gaze made Xu Ze gasp.
In his two lifetimes, he had never seen such despairing eyes.
No one knew what had happened to this girl.
Even Xu Ze didn't know much about her.
Her eyes were chilling, as if her soul had died, leaving only her body behind.
Xu Ze felt a shiver run down his spine.
But thinking of this as the key to completing his system task and breaking through his bottleneck, he forced a smile and asked.
"Do you want to cultivate?"
