To the east of Chu State, in a county called Lushan County, there is a sect that has been passed down for nearly a hundred years.

This sect is lonely in the green mountains and free and easy in the sunset.

This is Qingshan Sect.

There are the chirping of cicadas, the breeze, the sea of ​​bamboos, the green lake with swaying waves in midsummer, and the immortal cultivators flying into the sky and escaping from the earth.

It's summer, the blazing sun is baking the earth, filling the air with a hot breath, and the cicadas are also stirring with excitement.

In the forbidden area of ​​Qingshan Sect Queen Mountain, in a dark cave, compared to the unbearable heat outside, the coolness here made Lu Ping frown.

He just frowned for a moment, and then he really became cold.

"I... just died like this?"

Feeling the loss of life and the final day approaching, Lu Ping could not help but sigh.

It has been more than two hundred years since I came to this world, from embarking on the path of spiritual practice with passion, to marrying a wife, having children, and establishing a sect.

Lu Ping believed that everything he had done in his life was not in vain.

Now that things have come to this, he can see things through.

Lu Ping is a time traveler.

More than two hundred and ninety years ago, he traveled from the earth and came to this world to become a casual cultivator.

Relying on good luck and the character of a human being in two lifetimes, Lu Ping struggled alone in the world of immortality, and after experiencing countless dangers, he reached the golden elixir stage.

Later, Lu Ping chose Qinglian Mountain in Lushan County as his residence, established the Qingshan Sect, and became the founder of the sect. He soon married a Taoist companion and gave birth to two boys and a girl.

That is to say, under the protection of Lu Ping, the Patriarch of the Golden Pill, the Qingshan Sect quickly spread and had a high voice within tens of thousands of miles of Lushan County.

But as time went by, Lu Ping gradually realized that after reaching the golden elixir stage, his strength improved very slowly.

As a time traveler, Lu Ping's ambition will certainly not be satisfied with a golden elixir period.

His qualifications are not good to begin with, just three spiritual roots.

In order to obtain better resources for practice, thirty-one years ago, Lu Ping joined forces with several Jindan ancestors. When they entered a secret place to hunt for treasures, an internal fight broke out, which damaged their roots. Since then, his lifespan has been greatly reduced, and he can only live ten years.

After being defeated and escaping back to his sect, Lu Ping had to spend all his financial resources to buy heavenly materials and earthly treasures to retreat into seclusion, trying to reach the Nascent Soul stage while extending his life, in exchange for a chance to survive.

This retreat lasted for thirty years.

Although he relied on miraculous medicine to stay alive, he breathed a sigh of relief, and practiced hard in seclusion for thirty years, but thirty years later, Lu Ping still failed to attack the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul stage is not so easy to break through.

"It's a pity that after working hard for so long, there is still no hope for the Nascent Soul in this life."

Lu Ping felt somewhat unwilling to do so.

Once upon a time, I determined to attain enlightenment and become the Supreme Golden Immortal in this world.

Now, all I can do is babble like an old man, lamenting the impermanence of the world.

After experiencing many ups and downs, the frivolousness of youth has been smoothed away, and it has become much more realistic.

"So what if I don't want to give in? I've already reached this point. There's no room for maneuver, so I have to accept my fate. Just think that I'm having a big dream in this world, and maybe I can travel back to the earth after I die..."

"It's just that once I leave, I can no longer protect the Qingshan Sect. If the outside world learns of my death, will the Qingshan Sect be able to withstand the revenge of those enemies?"

"I shouldn't have spent so much before. I should have left some legacy for the sect. I don't know what the Qingshan Sect is like now..."

"Yuanshan, you must protect the Qingshan Sect and be your leader..."

Yuanshan, whose full name is Lu Yuanshan, is the eldest son of Lu Ping and the current head of the Qingshan Sect.

Lu Ping had not seen his eldest son, or even his other two children, for a long time.

His life has now come to an end and he can no longer summon his children to explain his funeral arrangements.

"The road to immortality is rugged and long. Today I fell. If you have the ability in the future, then go and see the scenery at the end of the immortal road for me..."

As his consciousness gradually disappeared, the last thoughts of his life were placed on his sect and his children, and Lu Ping's thoughts fell into nothingness.

Completely dissipated.

There was silence in the cave.

I don't know how long it took.

"Ding, the system activation conditions have been met."

"The sect simulator is successfully bound!"

A voice gradually awakened Lu Ping's consciousness.

"I..." Lu Ping was a little confused when he regained consciousness.

"I'm alive???"

Looking around subconsciously.

Lu Ping found that he had turned into an illusory and transparent figure, floating in front of his dead body. This feeling was quite strange.

At the same time, there was something more in my mind, which was the golden finger that had just been activated.

"..."

For a moment, Lu Ping didn't know what to say.

After coming to this world for more than 200 years, I only gave him a golden finger when he was done with it. Isn’t this system a bit confusing?

"I just got the golden finger now, and I have a ball to use!"

Lu Ping wanted to jump.

Oh, I forgot, he is a conscious body now, and all his activities depend on floating, if he can still jump.

All I can do is complain.

After calming down, Lu Ping took some time to figure out his current state.

It is not considered a soul, but because of the golden finger, it has become a consciousness that can move at will.

Because he couldn't exert any strength, he didn't even have a chance to be reborn.

Don't know whether to cry or laugh.

However, on second thought, since the consciousness is still there, there may be hope for resurrection in the future, which is not too bad.

"Forget it, I'm still me, at least I haven't completely died, I just exist in a different way."

No longer paying attention to his physical condition, Lu Ping thought, and an ancient system interface appeared in front of him.

…

Judging from the name of 'Zongmen Simulator', the role of this golden finger is obviously to train disciples and develop the sect.

It is equivalent to a sect development game, but the difference is that the disciples are all flesh and blood and are living creatures. If you don't play well, there is no chance to save and try again.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping looked at his lifeless body and then looked outside the cave. Thinking of the Qingshan Sect he founded, as well as his children and sect disciples, he was lost in thought for a long time.

Simulating the Qingshan Sect's inheritance and growth is not ambiguous.

"Well, it's a bit difficult to develop a sect with real guns, but as long as the sect is still there, I rely on the system to make the sect develop quickly, so there shouldn't be a big problem."

This can be regarded as self-motivation.
