Li Tian, a man driven by his vision and unwavering determination, found himself standing at the threshold of a fresh start. From outside the gate of what was once a thriving sect, he surveyed his surroundings with a discerning eye. His gaze swept across the landscape, capturing the grandeur of several majestic mountain peaks, a modest yet dignified structure, and a handful of neglected backyards that bore the scars of time. Nestled amidst these peaks, this place stood as the last surviving faction of a once-glorious sect. The remnants of ruins atop the mountains silently bore witness to its former magnificence, their stories etched in stone.
As Li Tian absorbed the scene before him, he contemplated the task that lay ahead. His purpose was to breathe new life into this place, to transform it into a thriving sect once more. But where should he begin? He recalled the wisdom of the ancients, who believed that the strength of a sect lay in its disciples. Thus, his first step would be to gather disciples, to establish a community of devoted cultivators who would carry on the sect's legacy.
With this objective in mind, Li Tian affixed a recruitment notice to the sect gate. He waited with anticipation, hoping that the promise of a fresh start would entice aspiring cultivators to join him. However, as days turned into weeks, no one answered his call. The silence weighed heavily on his heart, yet Li Tian remained resolute. He understood that the path to revival would be riddled with challenges, and this was merely the first hurdle to overcome.
As Li Tian sat outside the gate lost in contemplation, a young girl approached him, catching his attention. Despite her tender age of 15-16, she had an icy demeanor that contradicted her youthful appearance. She expressed her desire to join the sect, filling Li Tian's heart with joy. Finally, someone had answered his call.
Welcoming her warmly, Li Tian requested her to complete a form. This form, stored within a space ring, was a standard document for new disciples. It required basic details such as name, age, and cultivation level. Diligently, the girl named Quan Ning filled out the form. She possessed a mid-grade spiritual root and had achieved level-one body refiner cultivation.
Upon Quan Ning's completion of the form, the system promptly generated a confirmation sound, signifying the successful addition of a new disciple. Li Tian felt a surge of excitement, realizing that the first step towards revitalizing the sect had been taken.
Subsequently, the system provided Quan Ning with a sect uniform and a small ring, serving as her identification tokens. Li Tian presented these items to her, officially declaring her as the sect's inaugural disciple. This momentous occasion marked the dawning of a new era for the sect.
After acquiring his first disciple, Li Tian shifted his focus towards the subsequent stages. Upon consulting the system prompt, he discovered that the sect was situated amidst two level nine countries known as Yinjin and Ringbow. Although these countries were relatively small, housing only a handful of cities, they held immense potential for disciples. Li Tian devised plans to visit these cities in order to recruit more disciples and initiate the primary mission of revitalizing the sect.
The forthcoming journey was anticipated to be lengthy and challenging, yet Li Tian was prepared. Having taken the initial stride towards resurrecting the sect, he possessed unwavering determination to see it through. He firmly believed that with perseverance, unwavering dedication, and the unwavering support of his disciples, the sect would emerge from the ruins and reclaim its former glory.
