Mohsin was an ordinary young man living on Earth.

Ever since he was a child, he had been fascinated by Xianxia cultivation stories. He spent countless hours reading cultivation novels, manga, manhua, and watching anime. Flying swords, immortal sects, heavenly tribulations, ancient beasts, and the pursuit of immortality had become his greatest dream.

He often wished that one day he could leave Earth and enter a real cultivation world.

?One ordinary night, Mohsin was lying on his bed, watching anime on his mobile phone. As he looked out of his bedroom window, he noticed a bright star shining in the night sky.

He smiled and whispered to himself,

"I wish I could cultivate like the immortal cultivators in anime and novels."

The moment he finished speaking, the star suddenly began moving.

At first, Mohsin thought he was imagining it.

But within seconds, his expression changed.

"W-What...?"

"Why is that star coming toward me?"

The star grew brighter and brighter as it rapidly descended from the sky.

Before Mohsin could react, it passed through the roof as if nothing could stop it and flew straight into his body.

Boom!

A brilliant white light instantly filled the entire room.

Mohsin collapsed onto the floor unconscious.

Several seconds later, the dazzling light gradually faded.

Mohsin slowly opened his eyes.

His body felt strangely warm, and an indescribable energy flowed through every part of him.

At that moment, an ancient voice echoed inside his mind.

"Kid..."

"I sensed your unwavering desire."

"So I have decided to grant you this gift."

"Whether it becomes your greatest fortune or your greatest disaster..."

"...depends entirely on how you use it."

"This power has the ability to turn your impossible dream into reality."

As the voice disappeared, a mysterious power awakened deep within Mohsin's body.

The ancient voice spoke one final time.

"With this power..."

"You may travel to another world and pursue the dream you have long desired."

Almost instinctively, Mohsin understood what this mysterious power could do.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

"I... I can travel to another world?"

The power allowed him to freely teleport between Earth and a mysterious cultivation world.

There was one more unbelievable effect.

One month on Earth was equal to one year in the cultivation world.

Mohsin's breathing became rapid.

"My dream... actually came true."

Without hesitation, he activated the mysterious ability.

The world around him shattered into countless streams of light as his body entered a dimensional passage between worlds.

While drifting through the endless void, a cold mechanical voice echoed throughout space.

Ding!

Congratulations, Host!

The Infinite Cultivation System has awakened.

Mohsin's eyes widened.

"A... a System?"

His face lit up with excitement.

"I actually have a cultivation system!"

Before he could celebrate, the dimensional passage suddenly shook violently.

A gigantic crack tore through space.

From within the darkness emerged a tiny golden soul remnant surrounded by blazing golden flames.

Although incredibly weak, it released an ancient pressure capable of distorting space itself.

"W-What is that?"

The soul fragment seemed to be fleeing from something.

Before Mohsin could react, it rushed toward him.

The Infinite Cultivation System immediately created a protective barrier around its Host.

Unable to enter Mohsin's soul, the golden remnant was unexpectedly absorbed into the System itself.

Ding! Warning!

Unknown Divine Soul detected.

Scanning...

Identity Confirmed.

Golden Lion King.

Millions of years ago, the Golden Lion King had been the supreme ruler of all beast races.

His Divine Golden Sun Flame could burn spiritual energy, souls, karma, and even space itself.

Countless immortal emperors, ancient clans, and heavenly sects coveted his bloodline, Beast Core, heavenly flames, and cultivation techniques.

A war that lasted centuries engulfed countless worlds.

The Golden Lion King slaughtered innumerable supreme experts.

Stars collapsed.

Ancient sects disappeared.

Entire realms were destroyed.

Eventually, even the mighty Golden Lion King suffered fatal injuries.

Knowing capture meant eternal torture and the theft of everything he possessed, he chose death over surrender.

He detonated his own cultivation.

The explosion annihilated countless enemies while scattering fragments of his bloodline, Beast Core, Divine Golden Sun Flame, treasures, and soul throughout the universe.

No one knew that one tiny soul remnant had survived.

By pure coincidence, it had entered Mohsin's newly awakened System.

Neither Mohsin nor the Golden Lion King understood what this accident would mean.

Moments later...

A brilliant light enveloped Mohsin.

The dimensional tunnel disappeared.

Fresh air filled his lungs.

Towering mountains stretched endlessly toward the horizon.

Ancient forests covered the land.

Spiritual energy filled every breath.

Mohsin slowly smiled.

"So..."

"This is really a cultivation world."

The System spoke once again.

The System displayed one final message.

The Infinite Cultivation System does not create a predetermined story.

Every choice has consequences.

Life and death are real.

The future belongs to the Host alone.

Mohsin looked toward the distant mountains.

Far away, thousands of young men and women climbed the massive stone staircase leading to the ancient Huangfu Sect.

The disciple selection ceremony had already begun.

Mohsin took a deep breath.

After years of dreaming...

After countless novels and anime...

He had finally stepped into a real cultivation world.

His immortal journey had only just begun..

The Huangfu Sect's disciple selection ceremony was in full swing.

A massive stone platform stood before the towering sect gates.

Thousands of young men and women from across Cyan Country had gathered, each hoping to begin the path of cultivation.

At the center of the platform stood an enormous Spirit Root Detection Stone, nearly three meters tall. Ancient runes covered its surface as spiritual energy flowed through it.

Several Huangfu Sect elders and disciples watched over the ceremony.

Leading the examination was a young cultivator in the Early Foundation Establishment Realm.

One by one, applicants stepped forward.

The young cultivator called each name before instructing them to place a hand on the Spirit Root Detection Stone.

The stone would determine their cultivation talent.

The crowd watched eagerly.

A boy placed his hand on the stone.

Buzz!

Two brilliant rays of light shone from the crystal.

"Dual High-Grade Spiritual Roots!"

The examining elder smiled.

"Excellent talent."

"You are accepted directly as an Inner Sect Disciple."

The crowd erupted in envy.

Another youth stepped forward.

Three rays of light appeared.

"Triple Spiritual Roots."

"You qualify for the Outer Sect."

The young man bowed excitedly.

As the examination continued, most applicants revealed four or even five mixed spiritual roots.

The elders merely shook their heads.

"Miscellaneous Spiritual Roots."

"Poor talent."

"Accepted only as Miscellaneous Chore Disciples."

Some were rejected completely.

Others chose to stay, hoping that hard work might change their fate.

Standing among the crowd, Mohsin silently watched everything.

"So this is how cultivation sects select disciples..."

Just then, the System quietly spoke.

Ding!

Language Translation Activated.

Host can automatically understand and speak the language of crimson phoenix world

Mohsin smiled in relief.

"That's convenient."

Time slowly passed.

Finally...

"Next!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator looked at Mohsin.

"Young man, your turn."

Mohsin's heartbeat quickened.

"This is it..."

He slowly walked toward the Spirit Root Detection Stone.

Every step felt heavier than the last.

"What if I have a Heavenly Spiritual Root?"

"What if I'm actually a cultivation genius?"

His palms became sweaty.

Taking a deep breath, he placed his right hand on the ancient stone.

For a brief moment...

Nothing happened.

Then—

Buzz!

The Spirit Root Detection Stone began to shine.

Mohsin's eyes lit up.

"It's working!"

One ray of light appeared.

Then a second.

Then a third.

Then a fourth.

Then...

A fifth.

Five different colors illuminated the platform.

Water.

Fire.

Wood.

Wind.

Metal.

The entire platform fell silent.

A moment later...

Laughter erupted from every direction.

"Hahaha!"

"Five-element mixed spiritual roots!"

"What terrible luck!"

"So another useless cultivator."

"I've never heard of someone with mixed roots reaching Foundation Establishment."

The Foundation Establishment cultivator glanced at the result before sighing.

"Another one..."

He looked at Mohsin with disappointment.

"This year's disciple selection produced only a handful of talented seedlings."

"The rest are mostly trash."

He pointed toward Mohsin.

"Listen carefully."

"You have a Five-Element Mixed Spiritual Root, commonly called a False Spiritual Root."

"Your cultivation speed will be extremely slow."

"Without unimaginable opportunities, reaching Foundation Establishment is nearly impossible."

"You have two choices."

"First..."

"You may leave the Huangfu Sect and return home."

"Second..."

"You may stay and become a Miscellaneous Chore Disciple." "There's one more thing you should remember."

"As a Miscellaneous Chore Disciple, you have only ten years."

"If you fail to advance to the Outer Sect within those ten years, you will be expelled from Huangfu Sect."

"The sect does not waste its resources on disciples with no future."

"So cherish every day, cultivate diligently, and seize every opportunity."

"Your fate depends entirely on your own efforts."

"As a chore disciple, you will perform manual labor for the sect while cultivating in your spare time."

The examiner folded his arms.

"The decision is yours."

Mohsin looked at the ancient sect standing before him.

His dream was within reach...

But reality had dealt him a cruel blow.

What will Mohsin choose?

Mohsin fell silent for a moment.

Although everyone had laughed at his Five-Element Mixed Spiritual Root, he wasn't discouraged.

Instead, he smiled inwardly.

"They don't know that I have the Infinite Cultivation System."

"As long as I work hard and make good use of my opportunities, I can become stronger than anyone."

"Cultivation has never been only about talent. It also requires determination, perseverance, and the courage to seize opportunities."

Taking a deep breath, Mohsin looked at the Foundation Establishment cultivator and said firmly,

"I choose to stay."

"I wish to become a Miscellaneous Chore Disciple."

The examining cultivator looked at Mohsin with surprise before a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Good."

"Very good."

"There are countless geniuses in this world, but many of them become arrogant and die young."

"Likewise, there are many people with poor talent who give up before they even begin."

He looked into Mohsin's eyes.

"What truly matters on the path of cultivation is an unyielding heart."

"In this world, only those with an unwavering will, who dare to risk everything for opportunities and never give up in the face of hardship, have a chance to become true experts."

"Remember this."

"Talent determines where you start."

"But determination decides how far you can go."

The cultivator handed Mohsin a simple gray robe and a wooden identity token engraved with the words:

Huangfu Sect - Miscellaneous Chore Disciple

"From today onward, you are a disciple of the Huangfu Sect."

"Your cultivation journey begins now."

Mohsin tightly gripped the identity token.

His eyes shone with determination.

"One day... I'll prove to everyone that even someone with a Five-Element Mixed Spiritual Root can stand at the peak of the cultivation world."

The Foundation Establishment disciple looked at everyone who had passed the examination.

"Everyone who has been accepted, follow me."

He waved his hand.

A huge flying treasure boat descended from the sky, casting a massive shadow over the platform.

The newly recruited disciples gasped in amazement.

"So this is a flying treasure..."

The disciples quickly boarded the boat.

Mohsin stood near the edge, looking down at the mountains as the treasure boat soared through the clouds toward Huangfu Sect.

After nearly half an hour, an enormous mountain range appeared before them.

Towering peaks pierced the clouds.

Ancient palaces rested upon the mountainsides.

Waterfalls poured from the cliffs, while countless disciples flew through the sky on flying swords and spirit beasts.

Mohsin's eyes widened.

"So this is a real cultivation sect..."

Soon, the flying treasure boat landed in front of the Huangfu Sect Disciple Recruitment Hall.

The new disciples stepped off the boat one after another and quietly followed the senior brother into the hall.

After walking a short distance, they entered a spacious recruitment hall.

At the front of the hall sat an elderly man in a spotless white robe behind a large wooden table.

His eyes were half-closed, and although he appeared ordinary, he radiated an invisible aura of authority that caused every disciple to lower their heads respectfully.

His cultivation pressure alone made every disciple struggle to breathe.

The Foundation Establishment disciple immediately bowed respectfully.

"This junior greets Elder Feng."

Elder Feng nodded.

He was a Middle Golden Core Realm cultivator and one of the elders responsible for recruiting new disciples.

His sharp eyes swept across the crowd.

He sighed.

"Every year the quality of new disciples becomes worse and worse."

Without wasting any more time, Elder Feng began distributing robes and identity tokens.

Those accepted as Inner Sect Disciples received magnificent golden robes and golden identity tokens.

The Outer Sect Disciples received blue robes and blue tokens.

Finally, the Miscellaneous Chore Disciples were each given a plain black robe and a black wooden identity token.

Eventually...

It was Mohsin's turn.

Elder Feng looked at him.

"Name?"

Mohsin hesitated for a moment.

"My name is Malik Mohsin..."

He paused before continuing.

"My family name is Malik, and my given name is Mohsin."

Elder Feng frowned.

"Strange."

"I've never heard such a name before."

"Where are you from?"

Mohsin's heart skipped a beat.

"What should I say?"

Just then...

Ding!

The System quietly transmitted information into his mind.

Suggested Identity:

Origin: Chu Feng Villager from Farmer family

Background: Left the village after turning eighteen to seek opportunities and happened to arrive during the Huangfu Sect recruitment.

Mohsin immediately replied,

"This disciple is an from Chu Feng Village."

"I left after turning eighteen to travel the world in search of an immortal sect."

Elder Feng lost interest almost immediately.

"Hmph."

"Take your token."

"I don't care about your life story."

He tossed Mohsin a black robe and an identity token.

Huangfu Sect

Miscellaneous Chore Disciple

Elder Feng glanced at Mohsin's sturdy frame. Although his cultivation talent was terrible, Mohsin stood nearly six feet tall and had a naturally robust build, his weight tipping well past eighty-five kilograms.

It seems that your village provided you with adequate meals. You are quite well-built, unlike many of these disciples, who appear rather thin and undernourished, likely from coming from poor families.

"You..."

"You'll work at the Spirit Jade Mine."

"Report there immediately."

"Next!"

...

Later that afternoon...

Mohsin arrived at the Spirit Jade Mine.

Rows of small wooden huts surrounded the mining area.

One of them had been assigned to him.

The room contained nothing more than a wooden bed, a table, and a meditation cushion.

After changing into his black disciple robe, Mohsin sat quietly.

He looked at the token in his hand.

"So..."

"My cultivation journey begins as a miner."

He smiled bitterly.

Then another thought crossed his mind.

"I almost forgot."

"I have the Infinite Cultivation System."

"How exactly does it work?"

The room suddenly became silent.

A deep, ancient voice echoed inside his mind.

"Kid..."

"I can answer that."

Mohsin froze.

"W-Who's there?"

Before he could react, his consciousness was pulled into the mysterious System Space.

The endless white world stretched infinitely in every direction.

Standing in the center was an enormous golden lion.

Its golden mane burned like the sun.

Even though it was only a damaged soul, the pressure it released was enough to make Mohsin's legs tremble.

"You..."

Who are you and what are you doing in my system

The majestic beast slowly opened its eyes.

And talk to Mohsin

"I am the last remnant of the Golden Lion King."

"The System trapped my soul within this strange space."

The lion stared at Mohsin.

"Kid."

"Let's make a deal."

"I'll guide you on the path of cultivation."

"I'll teach you ancient techniques, My million off battle experience, and secrets that no one on All this universe knows."

"In return..."

"When you become powerful enough in the future..."

"You will help me reconstruct my body and allow me to revive."

Mohsin remained silent.

The Golden Lion King smiled.

"Don't worry."

"I cannot seize your body."

Because the System Space is more suitable for me. My soul is damaged, and I can sense that your body does not belong to this universe. The laws of this world do not bind it, so it may bring either blessings or curses, depending on your karma.

"The System prevents me from harming you."

And I m not this kind of person that hurts people for nothing

"I can only cooperate with you."

He continued,

"Now..."

I can help cultivate and grow faster but you have to collect ten low grade sprit stone first then

"Bring me ten that ten low grade Spirit Stones." With that I help you reached stage one of qi rifining stage

"I possess a secret technique that can absorb every trace of spiritual energy without wasting even a single drop."

"With ten Spirit Stones, I can help you break through directly to Qi Refining First Stage."

Mohsin's eyes lit up.

His cultivation journey had truly begun.
