A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

Author: Da Chi Tian Zun

(This is a lighthearted story with multiple female leads and a system, not a divine intervention.)

Upon traversing the world of "Covering the Sky," Lin Xiu awakened a god-level destiny system. Signing in at special locations and altering the fates of living beings all yielded system rewards.

Starting with a sign-in event at Mount Tai, Lin Xiu deceives everyone and embarks on a charlatan's path of claiming immortality and becoming an ancestor.

Ye Fan: "At first I thought he meant well, but when I got to Beidou, I realized just how deceptive the ruthless martial arts technique he taught me really was!"

Duan De: "What do you mean you're a diviner? You can predict where other people's graves are? Brother, I, Duan De, wish to become sworn brothers with you!"

The Azure Emperor said, "If you could make the Great Emperor Dao Fruit come to my grave and play the suona, you would be the number one idea king in the world of 'Covering the Sky'."

.....

Huh? What do you mean by saying that the world is also a kind of living being, and that changing the fate of the world can also earn system rewards?

"Ahem, Dao Ancestor Lin Xiu, today, I will impart the Dharma to all living beings!"

Spreading his teachings throughout the heavens and myriad realms, Lin Xiu used his own Daoist space to forge countless paths, creating reincarnation and transcending everything.

Chapter 1 The Terrifying Power of the Other Shore

At the foot of Mount Tai, tourists thronged and cars streamed by.

In front of the scenic area, a young man dressed in a Taoist uniform was driving his car toward the scenic area.

The car window rolled down, and an ethereal, otherworldly face peered out from inside the vehicle.

"This is Mount Tai."

Looking at the majestic Mount Tai before him, Lin Xiu was filled with emotion and inspired to write a poem.

"This mountain is beautiful!"

"The good thing is... the good thing is..."

"This mountain...it's too big!"

........

"Beep~ Adult Card~"

After paying the parking fee, Lin Xiu drove his Maybach into the parking lot.

At the entrance of the parking lot, the uncle in charge of collecting parking fees poked his head out with a puzzled look.

"Wow~ These days, people who can afford a Maybach actually drive themselves?"

"A child driver! It's definitely a child driver!"

The parking lot attendant's thinking was perfectly normal. Under normal circumstances, Lin Xiu, who came from an orphanage and was so young, would not be able to afford a Maybach.

However, Lin Xiu has never been a normal person.

Twenty-five years ago, Lin Xiu transmigrated to this world and grew up in an orphanage. Fortunately, he had good grades and was carefully nurtured by the orphanage.

Ten years ago, when Lin Xiu was attending the same high school as Ye Fan, he awakened his memories of another world and realized that he was a transmigrator.

Of course, most importantly, he awakened his own cheat ability to replicate.

Every 24 hours, Lin Xiu can create a clone whose energy level is no higher than his own.

Calling it a copy isn't quite accurate, because Lin Xiu can't make a 100% copy; he can only copy the most "shortcut" part of the item.

Therefore, after a series of practices, Lin Xiu named his ability Daoist Rhyme Replication.

Although it was a "Daoist replication," the replicated items still had an energy reaction. Therefore, Lin Xiu barely managed to cultivate on Earth, where spiritual energy was scarce, thanks to his cheat ability.

Using an ability called "Daoist Replication," Lin Xiu started with ten-year-old herbs and gradually increased his energy level, raising the upper limit of what he could replicate.

Ten-year-old herbs, hundred-year-old herbs, herbal elixir, source...

Because the Daoist essence copied by Lin Xiu using "Daoist Essence Replication" can only last for 24 hours and cannot be stored, it means that even if Lin Xiu created a copy of the Hundred Herbs Elixir and the Source out of thin air, he couldn't sell it to others. Scamming people online is one thing, but in the cultivation world, buyers will genuinely come knocking on your door if you try to scam someone.

Even so, Lin Xiu still managed to find a way to make money from it.

Can't store it? No problem! Just suck it up on the spot!

What? No time to travel around?

I'm offering 80% of the market price! Do you have time to come in person?

Thanks to Lin Xiu's long-term honest business practices, buyers have been praising Lin Xiu's high-purity "electron source".

The eulogy reads:

"Take a breath, and you'll feel light and airy, as if you've transcended the world and ascended to immortality~"

"Nine-nine percent perfection, a rare find!"

"What era are we living in? Still smoking traditional sources? If you're going to smoke, smoke Master Lin's electronic sources!"

"Draw electronic fairy essence and enjoy a happy life."

"........."

If it weren't for the fact that Earth is so difficult to cultivate on, and that the "electronic source" that Lin Xiu replicated at once was limited by Lin Xiu himself, he would really want to stay on Earth and do business without any costs.

Using the resources he earned from "selling electronic sources" and "helping people escape the sea of ​​suffering," Lin Xiu continuously purchased scriptures, secret methods, and other cultivation resources.

Ten years have passed, and Lin Xiu has gradually transformed from an ordinary mortal into a legendary powerful being on the other shore!

The power of those on the other shore is terrifying; without the great supernatural beings of the Dao Palace, who can contend with them!

......

Ten years to reach the other shore sounds rather ordinary. But Lin Xiu never felt that there was anything wrong with him.

"Hmm, it's definitely not a problem with my skill level. The problem is with the world!"

As we all know, the Earth's spiritual energy has been drained by the ninety-nine Dragon Mountains.

All ninety-nine Dragon Mountains will collect taxes for tens of thousands of years, until there's no more profit to be made on Earth!

How can one become a cultivator or achieve immortality on such a barren earth?

After careful consideration, Lin Xiu made a major decision: he would bring his talent to Beidou!

Therefore, Lin Xiu had already inquired about Ye Fan's class reunion three years after graduating from university, and was preparing to take the interstellar train to Beidou, his hometown which he had never met.

"The Big Dipper is my hometown~"

I was born and raised right here in this area.

"........"

Humming a little tune, Lin Xiu finally found his target.

"This should be it. It's the only Mercedes in the entire parking lot with a Taoist artifact. It must be Ye Hei's Mercedes!"

"Sizzle~ Bang!"

After parking the Maybach next to the Mercedes-Benz, Lin Xiu got out of the car with a flourish.

"Since we've all become time travelers, we can't let Emperor Ye have all the glory."

"In this round, it's Maybach versus Mercedes-Benz, and the advantage is on my side!"

"Although we can't suppress Ye Hei in Beidou, it would be great if we could suppress Ye Hei in the parking lot."

"Everything is ready, just waiting for the Starry Sky Railway to depart!"

.......

Although he had long decided to go to Beidou, Lin Xiu had reservations about whether he could survive.

Therefore, Lin Xiu made thorough preparations before heading to Beidou.

First, there's the issue of how to handle the wealth he's accumulated over the years.

"I'll temporarily entrust my assets to that old man on Wudang Mountain who I know best, and have him send money to the orphanage regularly. After all, if they were handed over to the orphanage, it would definitely attract the covetous eyes of others, and might even lead to my death."

"You've managed it for me for several years now, so please continue to work hard for another twenty or thirty years!"

.......

In addition, there is the issue of the families of the passengers in the Kowloon Coffin Pulling incident.

Although helping might expose that he already knew about the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, after much deliberation, Lin Xiu finally decided to take action.

Lin Xiu first obtained the detailed addresses and contact information of Ye Fan and his classmates who were about to be taken away by the Nine Dragons Coffin.

Then, he set up dozens of scheduled emails and express packages.

The content of the email is roughly as follows

Your children have been taken away to cultivate by the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin. If they don't court death, they have a more than 70% chance of survival; if they do, there's nothing that can be done. If you want to see your children again, take some of the spiritual medicine from your package and live a good life.

At the earliest 30 years, at the latest 100 years, there will definitely be a result.

If you don't know how to take elixirs, go to Wudang Mountain and find an old man named Zhang Daoling. He will help you integrate them into your body. — Lin Xiu, the Divine Calculator

These so-called "miracle drugs" were varieties that Lin Xiu himself purchased that were a bit older and had relatively mild medicinal properties.

For true spiritual practitioners, the effects may be mediocre, but for ordinary elderly people on Earth, extending their lifespan by several decades or even a hundred years is not a problem.

"Tsk tsk, it's a sure thing."

"The Immortal King Dao Fruit is secured!"

"The fact that the Divine Race's Du Mu reached the pinnacle of Great Sage status in a mere hundred years is truly impressive."

"However, compared to me, who attained the Immortal King Dao Fruit in a short period of time, it is still far inferior."

Are you kidding me? Pang Bo can become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, so becoming an Immortal King would be a piece of cake for him. In fact, becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor isn't impossible.
