Eternal Strongest Sect - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: You’re the Sect Leader?

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Millman97

Jun Changxiao was named Jun Changxiao because his parents hoped that he would be able to smile often in his life1 and pass his days happily.

After crossing over to the Fallen Star Continent and becoming a sect leader while activating the system, he had already completely forgotten what methods he should use to be able to smile happily.

This mission of developing the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect into the strongest sect and needing to recruit 100,000 disciples was as tough as ascending to the heavens!

In addition, there was the time limit of 100 years!

The systems of others who crossed over would gift them some legendary equipment, many experience points, or a level 999 saber. Why was the gift of this system so lousy?

“Sigh.” Jun Changxiao sighed. “As someone who crossed over, if I meet a fellow peer in the future, how will I have the face to greet them?”

He was extremely dispirited and dejected.

Since he had crossed over, should he not do his best to live a good life?

Sect Leader Jun then linked his mind with the interspatial ring that was clearly a bracelet and established a connection.

“I hope there will be some divine equipment or divine skills in it.” Jun Changxiao prayed while sending his thoughts into the wondrous space within.

After entering the interior of the interspatial ring, he discovered that other than a brick in the misty space, there were no other items.

Where’s the divine equipment and divine skills?

At the very least, the system could’ve given me the egg of a divine beast, right? I could’ve slowly hatched it.

What a pity.

There’s nothing but a single brick!

Jun Changxiao did not want to give up as he shifted his attention. He was filled with silent anticipation. “Could it be a piece of divine equipment?”

Having read many novels, he knew that for a qualified world-crosser, or the heavens’ chosen, even if it was a stone they dug out from the latrine, that stone would be a piece of ancient divine equipment that had disappeared for ages.

The sect leader was lost in his beautiful fantasy of wandering the pugilistic world with a brick in his left hand and a bracelet on his right…

Pak!

Chang Xiaojun held the brick and could clearly sense a tiny vibration from it.

He felt great joy in his heart. “There’s a heartbeat. Could it be there’s something awesome hidden within this brick? After it awakens, it will teach me a supreme ultimate divine art, right?”

He grew increasingly agitated the more he thought about it. He then moved the brick before his eyes.

When he turned it around, Jun Changxiao’s expression stiffened. The blood in his body felt as though it could not be controlled and had the possibility of surging up through his throat.

There was an information screen on the brick with some numbers on it.

‘Remaining time before self-explosion: 99 years, 355 days, 23 hours, 58 minutes, and 46 seconds.’

In the bottom-left corner, there was a footnote.

‘If the mission is accomplished within the time limit, the self-explosion feature will automatically be resolved.’

Ding! Ding!

The numbers jumped as the time quickened.

“F*ck your daddy” Jun Changxiao smashed the brick onto the ground before cursing loudly, “This isn’t divine equipment. It’s a bomb!”

Ding!

Just as the brick slammed onto the ground, the time on the screen became 22 hours 58 minutes from 23 hours 58 minutes!

“Host!” The system reminder rang out. “This item is known as a spirit explosion weapon. It has its own thoughts and personality. If you make it unhappy, it will reduce the amount of time remaining.”

Putong!

Jun Changxiao fell to the ground. His voice contained a sobbing tone. “System, I don’t want to play anymore. I want to go home…”

“The system has already been activated,” the mechanical voice replied. “Host, you must complete the main mission no matter what. If you choose to laze about and wait for death during the allotted time, the spirit explosion weapon will be triggered and explode in advance.”

Jun Changxiao spread his limbs and helplessly grieved. “Blade, where’s the blade? I want to commit suicide…”

Ding!

“Fulfilling host’s wish. Host has obtained a nanshou blade!”

Swish!

A treasured blade appeared in the inner space of the interspatial ring.

Jun Changxiao almost coughed out blood.

His wish of returning him did not materialize, but the system straight-forwardly granted his wish of committing suicide? What a shady system!

…

Jun Changxiao felt as though he had been swindled.

But since he crossed over to the Fallen Star Continent and also activated the system, he could only concede to his fate. Hence, he ‘shifted’ the information data panels of the system to before his eyes as he carefully looked through them.

Sect name, sect leader, sect members, all these data fields were easy to understand.

What he did not understand was the ‘sect construction level’ and ‘sect contribution points 0/100’. What the hell were those?

“Host,” the system said, “there are many aspects to sect construction level. As the level increases, more sect functions will be activated.”

“For example?”

“You can use your thoughts and connect with the sect construction level, opening up a more detailed data interface.”

“There’s a function like that?”

Jun Changxiao closed his eyes. He drew a mental link and ‘tapped’ the words ‘sect construction level’. A moment later, a tiny data panel appeared before his eyes. There was a brief explanation on it.

Sect construction level 1: No function.

Sect construction level 2: Alchemy Pavilion unlocked

Sect construction level 3: Smith Pavilion unlocked

Sect construction level 4: Curse Pavilion unlocked

Sect construction level 5: Spirit Beast Pavilion unlocked

There was also a small row of words behind indicating that once the sect construction level reached level five, he would be able to see more functions displayed. The functions would be available to be unlocked as he continued to progress.

Jun Changxiao was speechless.

“How do I level up the sect construction level?”

“In order to do that, the host must recruit more members.”

“I see,” Jun Changxiao said. “In that case, what does ‘sect contribution points’ mean?”

“Sect contribution points are points that you can spend in exchange for treasures within the sect merchant store,” the system explained.

“Sect merchant store?” Jun Changxiao’s eyes brightened.

From his knowledge, many main characters of novels would discover that their systems had something like a ‘sect merchant store’. Once the store was unlocked, the system might even gift a newbie pack to the host, allowing them to gain a set of powerful equipment!

Jun Changxiao carefully read through the data. He then asked in a puzzled manner, “Where is the merchant store?”

“You need to acquire one contribution point before the merchant store can be unlocked.”

“How do I obtain contribution points?”

“To gain one contribution point to unlock the merchant store, you must recruit more members.”

Upon hearing that, Jun Changxiao understood.

For the so-called Strongest Sect System, regardless of construction level or contribution points, all of them had a connection with recruiting members!”

“Alright!” Jun Changxiao’s heart was filled with a high fighting spirit. “From tomorrow onward, I will begin to recruit new members!”

Reality was cruel.

When he pushed open the tattered-looking sect gates and put up notices indicating that the sect was recruiting members, there was no one who came to apply even after a month.

He waited half a month longer.

Just as Jun Changxiao became discouraged, Lu Qianqian arrived.

She stopped at the notice pasted on the sect gates and walked in after some hesitation. She then said, “I want to join the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect.”

Jun Changxiao, who was squatting on the stairs and eating a bowl of noodles, instantly fell into a daze.

He had waited for so many days, and when he was on the brink of despair, a beauty actually arrived. To him, this was undoubtedly an extremely fortunate matter!

Lu Qianqian stared at Jun Changxiao, who was in a daze, before quietly asking, “Are you an idiot?”

Swish!

Jun Changxiao hurriedly tossed the bowl of noodles aside and passionately helped her with the application procedure.

When he took out the sect leader seal that indicated the sect leader’s identity, Lu Qianqian doubtfully asked, “You’re the sect leader?”

“Not bad.” Jun Changxiao puffed out his chest and earnestly said, “This seat is precisely the sect leader of the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect.”

“I’m quitting.”

“Beauty, don’t, don’t, don’t!”

 …

He used all the techniques he knew, essentially being shameless and naggy, and in the end, Jun Changxiao managed to convince Lu Qianqian to stay. He was no longer the only member of this desolate sect.

Ding!

“Sect Members: 2/100!”

Ding!

“Sect Contribution Points: 1/100!”

Ding!

“Contribution points have reached the requirement. Sect merchant store unlocked!”

After the system notification rang out, Jun Changxiao pulled up the data interface of the newly unlocked function. The new data interface was under the main mission panel and was named ‘Sect Merchant Store’.

“There really is a merchant store!”

Jun Changxiao was overjoyed. His thought touched the merchant store.

Swish!

The scene before his eyes changed as the scene of a warehouse with many items on the shelves appeared!

“Nine Revolutions Marrow Cleansing Pill!”

“Dragon-Elephant Wisdom Palm!”

“Graceful Roaming Dragon Movement Art!”

“Five Elements Yin-Yang Art!”

“Thousand-year Icy Battle Armor!”

“Sacred Flame Body!”

Upon seeing the various martial skills, pills, and armor in the store, Jun Changxiao’s heartbeat quickened.

Just from their names, he understood how absolutely awesome these items were!

But the next second, Sect Leader Jun’s expression froze. The prices listed below each item were all at the 10,000-point mark and above!

“No way…” The corners of Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched. “So expensive?”
