Chapter 2 - Cloud Manor

In the cultivation world, there are many places where someone can receive inheritance from a predecessor.

But mainly, it was categorized into three places. Ruins, place of inheritance, and immortal residence

Among the three, immortal residence was the most unique one.

It was not because they were the most dangerous, nor was it the least dangerous, but because it was too unpredictable in the way to pass its inheritance.

Some immortal residences could choose their owner right of the bat without any test, but some immortal residences were something that could kill even immortals if it was not meant to be.

And one of the most mysterious immortal residences was the Cloud Manor.

It was mysterious because no one knew what was inside it. From the moment it was found until now, no one has been capable of entering it.

Many people have already tried everything they could to enter it, but without avail. It was as if the cloud manor was in a different space than them, even though it was in front of their eyes.

At first, everyone was preoccupied with how to enter it, but then one particular person who was cultivating space technique was attracted more to the space barrier that isolated the cloud manor than the way to enter it. Ignoring everyone, he started to study it.

Who would have thought that the man would successfully gain enlightenment and make a breakthrough? After news of it spread, people began to inspect the manor more carefully.

It was also at that time that many people were amazed.

The manor was built in a different architecture than what they know; it was built like a westerner's villa, which was foreign to the cultivators.

But what captured their attention was the design and carving on the pillar and wall of the villa.

It was the carving of an auspicious beast, but it was so lifelike that they felt like they were in front of the real auspicious beast.

There were also many flowers in the garden in front of the villa, but if one looked closely, every flower in the garden was a precious herb that should never have grown there.

It was because many herbs need a special environment to grow, but there it was, growing and thriving in the immortal garden.

And any herb that grew on the immortal garden could even make immortal drool.

Unfortunately for them, no matter what they did, no one was able to enter it.

Even so, just outside the cloud manor and comprehending something inside would give them considerable gains already.

Apart from that, the cloud manor was also the only immortal residence that could be spotted in any world, no matter if it was in the lower realm, upper realm, or immortal realm.

So there was a legend in the cultivation world that if someone was able to enter the cloud manor and gain its recognition, they would become immortal instantly.

Actually, the legend was indeed true; if someone could gain Cloud Manor's recognition and own it, they could instantly become lord of a world.

Of course, there was a prerequisite, and that was to defeat the current owner of the Cloud Manor.

Currently, inside the Cloud Manor, there is a man sprawled on the sofa.

His handsome face was frowning as if thinking hard. His golden eyes were without focus, looking at the void.

His black hair was messy, but it didn't make him look sloppy, instea added a touch of laziness to his refined appearance.

"How long has he been like that?" A woman with golden hair asked as she looked at the man from another room.

She had a beautiful face with seductively slanted red eyes, and her thin lips, which were like cherries, curled up slightly.

"I don't know; he always looked like that when he was alone. It was started 10 years after we woke up from the slumber." Another beautiful girl with black hair and black almond eyes answered.

"That long already?"

"Yes, if we count the time, he always behave like that when he was alone for 103 years."

"What is he thinking, really? Should we accompany him?"

"Let him be. If we interrupted him, he would be distracted even when he was talking to us.

"Maybe it was because he was too lonely without friends."

"Aren't we here?"

"But we are his wife and not his friends; also, we are women, and he was a man; we didn't know what men usually talk about among them."

"Doesn't man usually just talk about girls when they are together?" The blonde girl muttered softly and said, "I don't know if I was lucky or unlucky to have two sisters accompany me."

"Hehe, you can't say that! After all, if he only had one wife, then it would not be our turn."

"You're right!"

At this moment, the man who they were talking about stood up suddenly; his eyes were bright, as if someone had suddenly gained enlightenment after fumbling about all their lives.

"Hahahaha!" He laughed happily.

"That's right, I shouldn't just focus on myself."

The two women who saw it shook their heads.

"Look, what should we do if he suddenly becomes crazy?"

"It's not like there was anything we could do; if he became crazy, then the apocalypse would arrive in the world."

"What are you two talking about? Let me join in too." A woman with a gentle look walks behind them.

She had blue hair and blue eyes that looked like calm oceans, making anyone who saw her feel calm and comfortable.

"We just talked about what we should do if darling suddenly became crazy."

"Husband? Why?"

"Look for yourself!"

The gentle woman walked forward and saw Fang Jiuyi who was still laughing.

"Husband, what made you so happy?" The gentle woman asked.

The laughter stopped suddenly. Right now, Fang Jiuyi just wants to find a hole to hide himself in.

He must look like someone crazy for suddenly laughing out of nowhere.

"Ehm." He cleared his throat. "It's nothing; I just think of something fun to do."

"What is it?" The black-haired woman barged in suddenly; she heard there was something fun. "Darling, you can't play by yourself; you must invite me if there is something fun to do."

"Of course, don't worry!"

"The meals are ready; do you want to eat now or later?" The gentle woman asked.

"Let's eat first; I will tell you guys about it after lunch."

After a while,

"So, what fun did you think about?" The black-haired girl was the most eager.

"I want to make a system!" Fang Jiuyi said

"System??" The two girls were confused.

"What is the system used for?" Only the blonde-haired girl knows what the system is.

"Hehehe, I would give it to some fated person, so we could watch a live drama!"

The blonde-haired girl looked at Fang Jiuyi strangely and said, "So, you're going to be like Prince... Mmm, Protagonist Maker?"

Fang Jiuyi mouth twitched; he could hear that she was about to say princess maker.

"You could say it like that."

"So, what is a system? What is a protagonist maker?" The puzzled black-haired girl asked

"So the system is..."

"Let me explain it to them!" The blonde-haired girl cut Fang Jiuyi.

"Okay." Fang Jiuyi felt his enthusiasm was halved.

And he looked strangely as his three wives erected barriers to prevent him from hearing their conversation.

Isn't it just talking about systems? Why would they be so secretive?

Actually, if he wanted, he could eavesdrop on them, but of course he wouldn't intrude on his wife's privacy.

After a while, the discussion ended.

"We decided!"

What did the three of you decide? We didn't even have any discussion. I only just thought of the idea.

"You can make the system, but there was a requirement."

"What requirements??"

They had requirements already? Just what did the three of them discuss?

He felt like a management project that was waiting for the system requirements from those higher up. He only hoped that the requirement was not outrageous.

"The system host must be male."

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's it."

"No problem!"

He didn't have any problems with it.

"Okay, now it's time to make the system."

Fang Jiuyi opened his palm in front of him, and chaos formed before it gradually became clearer.

"System interface, recording function, communication function, transfer item function, memory imparting function, user agreement...finished."

"Now I just need to select the fated person."
