Chapter 1

Gu Yuanchu looked at himself in the mirror in front of him, a young man in his early twenties, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, exuding a radiant charm, and a tall, slender figure. He wore a dark robe embroidered with golden threads, depicting ancient patterns.

This appearance, if placed on the original Earth, would undoubtedly make him a top-tier superstar.

Unfortunately, he could never return!

At this moment, Gu Yuanchu's mind was a mess, with countless memories fighting in his head. It took a long time before he finally sorted out the memories in his mind.

He was no longer on Earth but in a place called Xuan Yuan Continent.

His current identity was the supreme leader of Taichi Sect, one of the top ten righteous sects on Xuan Yuan Continent, and coincidentally, his name was also Gu Yuanchu.

"Is being a super powerhouse the result of reincarnation?" Gu Yuanchu found it hard to get used to. People who reincarnated usually lost both parents, had their entire family wiped out, or at the very least, were dumped and humiliated, then they would shout, "Thirty years on this side, thirty years on that side, do not mock a poor youth."

Then they would gradually rise up and become a great power.

However, he had already become the top righteous leader right after reincarnating.

Moreover, from the memories, his original body had not suffered any great grievances. He was born into the royal family of the Great Xia Empire, which dominated Xuan Yuan Continent.

Although he was a distant branch, he showed extraordinary cultivation talent from a young age. Later, he left the royal family and joined Taichi Sect.

Not long after, he stood out and was taken under the wing of the previous old sect leader, becoming his last disciple. From then on, he swept through all challenges, reaching the peak of the thirty-six realms of Dao at the age of twenty-eight. After a year of seclusion, he emerged as one of the few Dao realm giants on Xuan Yuan Continent.

In the history of Taichi Sect, only the founding ancestor had ever reached the Dao realm. No other sect leaders had achieved this level. Such cultivation speed was truly astonishing.

Originally just an ordinary small figure, he now became one of the few great powers in the world. How could he not be anxious? Moreover, only he knew that it was all just a facade; his body was already in a mess.

The incident began a year ago when the old sect leader was ambushed and killed by the Nine-Lives Cat King, one of the ten demon kings of the Demon Realm, while patrolling the border between the Great Xia Empire and the Demon Realm. His body was never found.

The news shocked the world.

Whether it was the old sect leader of Taichi Sect or the Nine-Lives Cat King, both were supreme experts who had reached the peak of the thirty-six realms of Dao, second only to the few Dao realm experts.

The thirty-six realms of Dao refer to the nine levels of postnatal, the nine levels of innate, the nine levels of transcending the mundane, and the nine levels of liberation, collectively known as the thirty-six realms of Dao.

Those who could reach the peak of the thirty-six realms of Dao were, without exception, great powers, such as the leaders of the top ten righteous sects, the heads of the seven sects of the Demon Sect, the ten demon kings of the Demon Realm, and the ten wolf kings of the North.

Above them, there were only a few Dao realm experts in the world.

In this situation, the original body, as the chief disciple, was urgently promoted to the position of sect leader. However, he and the old sect leader were like father and son. In front of everyone, he announced that he would not ascend to the position of sect leader unless he captured the Nine-Lives Cat King and used his head to honor the old sect leader.

Subsequently, the original body secluded himself for a year, breaking through from the peak of the liberation realm to the Dao realm in one go.

After entering the Dao realm, the first thing the original body did was to invade the Demon Realm to capture the Nine-Lives Cat King. However, it seemed that the Demon Realm was well-prepared. Not only did the ten demon kings gather, but more importantly, the Demon Lord, who had always been secluded in the Demon Realm, also appeared.

In this situation, the original body was almost forced into a dead end. Later, he relied on a secret drug, the Seven-Day Certain Death Pill, to severely injure the Demon Lord, capture the Nine-Lives Cat King, and fight his way out.

The Seven-Day Certain Death Pill, once taken, would keep the user at peak state for seven days, but after seven days, death was certain, even the great immortals could not save him.

The original body, in this situation, passed away in the main hall of Taichi Sect.

Then, Gu Yuanchu took over his body, inheriting a mess.

It was like an ordinary person suddenly taking over a world-renowned top company with countless debts, feeling at a loss.

The injuries from the battle with the Demon Lord and the aftereffects of the Seven-Day Certain Death Pill constantly troubled him. If it weren't for the incredible vitality of a Dao realm expert, he would have already died.

However, even so, it was unknown how long it would take to recover!

The original body had used the excuse of seclusion to hide for seven days, but he ultimately had to go out and face people, as he was no longer an unknown figure.

His titles included the top righteous leader, the sect leader of Taichi Sect, the second Dao realm expert in the history of Taichi Sect, one of the supreme giants of the continent, a pillar of the Great Xia royal family, the guardian of the righteous path on Xuan Yuan Continent, the destroyer of the Demon Sect, and the scourge of the demon and other races...

The titles were as numerous as a menu!

He was also the focus of the world. Gu Yuanchu was sure that countless people were watching him, and many were eyeing his position.

Otherwise, the original body, with the power of a Dao realm expert, could have silently killed the Nine-Lives Cat King.

However, the Demon Realm seemed to be well-prepared, clearly having received the news in advance.

There must be traitors within Taichi Sect and among the people!

Suddenly, a cold voice appeared in Gu Yuanchu's mind.

"The strongest destiny system is binding, progress 1%, 2%... 100%!"

"Currently available modules: Destiny Sign-in System, Destiny Mall, Destiny Lottery!"

"Host, you have a sign-in gift package, do you want to open it?"

Gu Yuanchu was stunned for a moment before reacting, saying, "Open it!"

"Ding, congratulations, host, you have received a peak state card (limited to 15 minutes)!"

"Ding, congratulations, host, you have received a talent enhancement card!"

"Ding, congratulations, host, you have received a bottle of life nutrient fluid!"

Only then did Gu Yuanchu start to check his attribute panel.

Host: Gu Yuanchu

Race: Human

Realm: Dao Realm (severely weakened)

Lifespan: 7 days

Destiny Points: 2000

Gu Yuanchu was greatly alarmed. His lifespan was only seven days. Did that mean he would die in a few days?

But thinking about the original body having just taken the Seven-Day Certain Death Pill, the potency of the pill was so strong that even a Dao realm expert couldn't withstand it, and the original body had died from it.

Gu Yuanchu took out the bottle of life nutrient fluid, which, according to the system, could increase his lifespan.

He hesitated for a moment but then took it. Instantly, he felt a powerful vitality blooming in every cell of his body.

After a moment, Gu Yuanchu checked his attribute panel again, and the lifespan had increased from seven days to thirty-seven days.

This bottle of life nutrient fluid had extended his lifespan by a month.

Only then did he have the time to examine the other two items.
