Twelve Labours

In a world where cultivation reigns supreme and power is the only currency, Li Tian, a mediocre outer disciple of the Heavenly Dawn Academy, stumbles upon a destiny far greater than he ever imagined. After sacrificing his life to save a group of junior disciples from a demonic beast, Li Tian is reborn with the Enlightenment System, a mysterious force that rewards him with unparalleled cultivation resources, divine techniques, and fragments of lost Daoist truths every time he teaches or guides others. But this is no ordinary system. The stronger his disciples become, the more power Li Tian gains in return. As he begins to mentor the academy’s outcasts and forgotten talents, he quickly rises from obscurity, earning titles like "The Unseen Patriarch" and "Grand Teacher of Ten Thousand Daos." His unorthodox methods and revolutionary insights challenge the rigid hierarchies of the cultivation world, drawing the attention of powerful sects, rival academies, and even the holders of the coveted Twelve Emperor Seats. However, Li Tian’s path is fraught with danger. The Abyssal Chains Sect, a shadowy organization that devours the talent of young cultivators, sees him as a threat to their plans. The Void Eclipse Pavilion, a ruthless rival academy, covets his system and will stop at nothing to claim it. And as Li Tian’s disciples rise to prominence, they become targets in a deadly game of political intrigue and celestial warfare. As Li Tian ascends through the realms of cultivation, he must confront the true nature of the Enlightenment System. Is it a gift from the heavens, or a tool of the Primordial Dao itself? To claim the ultimate title of Grand Emperor, Li Tian must choose between merging with the Dao and losing his humanity or shattering the system to democratize cultivation forever.
