Highlights
Leng Quan, the Nine Swords Ancestor, has lived in this world of Immortal Cultivation for ten thousand years. Despite his immense power, he prefers a quiet, 'laid flat' life, driven by a system that rewards him for completing quests, often involving his disciples.
Leng Quan is prompted by a system quest to take on an apprentice. The Grand Princess Su Zhuxuan, a reincarnated Empress of the Nine Heavens, chooses him as her master after her secret treasure, the Tian Ji Fan, identifies him as the strongest. Su Zhuxuan's extraordinary talents quickly become apparent, hinting at her past life and immense potential.
When other masters challenge Leng Quan's suitability as a master, he subtly reveals his connection to the Nine Swords Ancestor, demonstrating immense power. Su Zhuxuan, initially skeptical of her master's simple techniques, discovers their profound effectiveness, rapidly increasing her cultivation and realizing the true power of her master's teachings.
Leng Quan discovers a dark soul wound within Su Zhuxuan, which he heals, earning him significant 'lying values'. Soon after, he takes the Ice Ancestor, Changsun Ganxue, as his maid after defeating a demon saint, further expanding his unique household at Daoyan Peak.
The Sword and Cloud Sect holds a clan competition involving the challenging Dual Pole Tower. Leng Quan's disciples, empowered by his teachings, excel, with Su Zhuxuan achieving first place. When other masters challenge Leng Quan, he effortlessly breaks the tower's record, showcasing his unparalleled strength and proving his disciples' capabilities.
Leng Quan achieves the peak of the first level of the Immortal Realm. This power surge attracts attention to the Northern Region, leading to a confrontation with Emperor Ming Zhi, an enemy from Su Zhuxuan's past life. Leng Quan easily dispatches the Emperor, solidifying his reputation as the strongest.
Su Zhuxuan discovers Leng Quan's true identity as the Nine Swords Ancestor. Leng Quan then takes on Changsun Ganxue as a formal disciple and instructs other sect members, leading to the eradication of the Golden Light Sacred Land, which was secretly controlled by the Devil Sect.
The Devil Sect continues its rampage, killing Changsun Ganxue's master. Leng Quan avenges her master, further cementing his power. Su Zhuxuan returns to the Silver Moon Dynasty to find her father missing and her Fifth Brother in league with the Devil Sect. Leng Quan helps her quell the rebellion.
Leng Quan and Su Zhuxuan discover a tomb containing the Demon Emperor White Shaggy. Leng Quan, with his immense power, makes White Shaggy his pet. Later, the Secret Realm of the Supreme Being opens, an ancient and powerful training ground, attracting Leng Quan and his growing group of disciples and pets.
Leng Quan, his disciples, and pets enter the Secret Realm. They swiftly overcome challenges and rivals, demonstrating their collective strength. Leng Quan secures the top spot in a herb-picking competition, leading to all his followers advancing to the Emperor's realm and Leng Quan himself reaching the 15th level of the Immortal Realm.
Leng Quan faces Duan Wuyou, the Emperor who betrayed Su Zhuxuan in her past life. Despite Duan Wuyou's increased power from absorbing an immortal chance, Leng Quan, with the help of his disciples' spontaneous love confessions activating massive power-ups from his system, defeats him. The story ends with Leng Quan and his disciples celebrating their victory and newfound relationships.
