"Elder Qin, the Fourth Young Master wants to go out and requests you as his escort!"
A young man in white robes spoke to the man in his thirties with messy white hair.
His appearance still looked youthful, but the lifeless look in his eyes revealed his true age—ancient beyond measure.
Hearing the young man's words, Elder Qin—Qin Yuan—frowned deeply.
"Ask another Elder. I'm busy," he said with a snort, clearly displeased.
"Elder Qin, you're the only one left. The other Elders told me to ask you."
"I said I'm busy!" Qin Yuan snapped, raising his voice as the young man kept talking.
He glared at him as if he were about to devour him alive. The young man froze in fear before turning around and running away.
In this sect, he might be the weakest Elder, someone who had only managed to reach the Paragon Realm by sheer luck.
But among the Elders, he was also the most temperamental.
"Tch. Just the fourth brat. Come back when you become the first brat if you want to order me around," Qin Yuan muttered under his breath.
Then—
"Eh…?"
His eyes widened.
He had been possessed—and the one who possessed him was the one shocked, instantly digesting all of his memories.
Even information spanning millions of years was absorbed in an instant. After all, he was a Paragon.
After standing frozen for a moment, he smiled faintly.
Being the weakest Elder is still better than being trash in the lower world, he thought, his smile slowly widening.
He was now Elder Qin.
And in the Immortal World, Elder Qin was not only the weakest Elder in the Sacred Emperor Sect—he was the weakest Elder in the entire Immortal World.
Of course, this was only by the standards of major sects, where an Elder was required to have Paragon cultivation.
Compared to Elders from small sects who were usually only in the Ruler or Saint Realm, Qin Yuan was still far stronger.
'I may be beneath a thousand people, but I stand above trillions of beings in the Immortal World. My power can shake even a grand world,' he thought.
Just as that thought crossed his mind, a transparent screen suddenly appeared before his eyes.

(Please type the item you desire in the search bar below. If you don't know what you want, type its description!)
Qin Yuan's mouth was still open when he accidentally bit his tongue while smiling.
A system?
It actually appeared.
His hand instinctively moved as if typing on a keyboard, but he soon realized he could only input commands with his mind.
So he began to type.
(I want the Law of Fire with 100% comprehension!)
DING!
(Comprehension of a Law is not an item. You cannot request it from the System. You must rely on yourself!)
The System's response gave Qin Yuan some insight. After all, Laws determined one's cultivation level. Every 1% increase in comprehension meant one stage of advancement.
100% comprehension meant complete mastery of a Law—becoming an Immortal.
Then what should I ask for? Qin Yuan wondered, trying to think of his weaknesses—only to realize that, as a cultivator, he was lacking in almost everything.
His body, soul, and bloodline were all ordinary.
It was shocking that he had reached this level at all. Many people with better talent failed to become Paragons—some couldn't even reach the Saint Realm.
Because of this, Qin Yuan was extremely weak in combat.
It was said that he couldn't even kill an average Ninth-Stage Saint.
Some rare genius Ninth-Stage Saints were actually stronger than him.
This humiliation was the reason he was always so irritable.
(In that case, give me an Immortal-grade body!)
Qin Yuan didn't truly understand what Immortal-grade bodies were. Very few people possessed them, and those who did rarely revealed them.
All he knew was that such bodies were difficult to utilize fully—often requiring mastery over multiple Laws—but they possessed an indestructible advantage that even Immortals coveted.
(Because you did not specify an exact name or provide a detailed description, you will receive a random Immortal-grade body!)
DING!
(You have obtained: Immortal Sword Body!)
(Immortal Sword Body has two Innate Techniques: Absolute Sword Command, usable when your Law of Sword reaches 70%, and Immortal Sword Transformation when your Law of Sword reaches 90%.)

Water Spear (Tier 15)
Qin Yuan hadn't really cared about what he got—this was just an experiment to better understand the System.
But after obtaining the Immortal Sword Body, it was impossible not to be astonished.
Glowing sword-shaped tattoos appeared all over his body, flickering with light before vanishing completely when he stopped thinking about swords.
What he felt was even more shocking.
His affinity toward the Law of Sword felt incredibly close, as if it were right in front of him.
Even the Law of Water, which he had comprehended to 91%, had never felt like this.
This meant that comprehending the Law of Sword would not be difficult—especially at lower levels. The real difficulty usually began after 70%, where the laws became truly profound and complex.
And with a Paragon-level mind, he could process everything extremely quickly.
He immediately wanted to cultivate.
But suddenly, someone arrived.
A woman with neatly tied black hair, wearing a white robe resembling a Japanese kimono.
Her skin was pale, and her black eyes were as sharp as a blade's edge.
She held a knife in her left hand, while her right hand seemed ready to strike at any moment.
Anyone would forget her beauty—beautiful enough to eclipse the horizon—because of the chilling aura she exuded.
'First brat!' That was what Qin Yuan remembered calling her from the body's memories.
Since the young masters and young ladies of the sect kept asking him for help instead of other Elders, he called all of them brats.
But this one was the only one he dared not offend.
Xia Xinghe—the granddaughter of the Grand Elder and the daughter of the Sect Master's wife
Despite her youth, her cultivation had already reached the Fifth Stage of the Saint Realm.
Her combat power was close to the Ninth Stage.
Even in a fight, Qin Yuan would only have a slight advantage over her.
"Miss," Qin Yuan greeted politely, as the original Qin Yuan always did.
"Elder Qin, I heard Meng Hao wants you to escort him outside," she said, her voice like soft metallic chimes.
"I'm busy," Qin Yuan replied, clearly displeased.
He had no trouble imitating the original personality. Their temperaments were almost identical.
"Elder Qin, as far as I know, you are already over ten million years old. You are even older than my father."
Qin Yuan frowned.
Meanwhile, she remained indifferent.
"Despite being so old, you still seem childish. Have you never read the sect rules? Or did you forget that anyone who earns the title of Young Master or Young Miss in this sect holds status equal to the Elders and has the right to request an escort when leaving the sect?"
She continued calmly,
"When stronger Elders are unavailable, the task falls to weaker Elders. If no one else is available, the weakest Elder must accept it. Unless you also forgot your own strength? Of course, if you dislike this rule, you are free to leave the sect and return all the resources you have ever received."
