I Started As the Qin Family Patriarch and Was Bound to the Selection System

Tianyuan City, the Netherworld FamilyQingxuan Heaven, Immortal Realm, Great Luo Immortal Domain.

Inside Tianyuan City, on a circular teleportation platform in the deepest part, stood ten guards in black robes holding long spears.

One guard yawned and said, ”Captain, the teleportation platform has only lit up once in the last hundred years. It seems it was an elderly Martial God from the Tianwu Realm who ascended.”

”Do you think those thirty-odd Small Worlds below are all empty now?”

Wearing black robes with a long sword at his waist, Youming Zhuo said disdainfully, ”The Lower Realm is just the Lower Realm; even Ninth Level Martial Emperor experts are pitifully few. In another hundred years, the duty of guarding the teleportation platform will fall to the Yun Family.”

”Within these hundred years, I hope some Cultivators ascend from the Lower Realm so we can get more slaves for our North Mountain Mine Cave.”

The Youming Family is one of the three great families of Tianyuan City, with a Sixth Level True Immortal Realm Old Ancestor presiding over them. The Ascension Platform is controlled by the city’s three great families in rotation.

Cultivators who ascend from the Lower Realm are captured by the three great families to work in the mines and are only granted freedom after a thousand years.

The black-robed guard looked back reminiscently and said, ”Yeah, I hope more Cultivators ascend within these hundred years.”

”I remember the last time we had the most people, it was the ascenders from the Beginningless Realm; there were six Ninth Level Martial Emperor Cultivators in total.”

”Back then, those six Martial God Cultivators were very arrogant and refused to go to the North Mountain Mine Cave to mine obediently. In the end, the Captain stepped in and suppressed them immediately.”

Youming Zhuo sneered and said, ”Those Martial God experts are used to being powerful in the Lower Realm and thought striking in the Upper Realm was the same as in the Lower.”

”Little did they know, I only needed to exert a tiny bit of effort to suppress them easily.”

The black-robed guard flattered him, ”With your First Level True Immortal Realm strength, Captain, handling those Martial God experts is as simple as can be.”

Suddenly, a burst of white light erupted from the teleportation platform, soaring into the sky and drawing the attention of other Cultivators in the city.

The black-robed guard said excitedly, ”Captain, someone has ascended! Looking at the intensity of this white light, I’m afraid there are quite a few people ascending this time.”

Youming Zhuo’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he said, ”It’s ascenders from the Beginningless Realm again! Last time I caught six Beginningless Realm Cultivators, the Elder gave me quite a few rewards.”

”If I catch the Beginningless Realm Cultivators ascending this time, the Family might reward me with an immortal source stone. Then, my cultivation could Breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm Second Layer.”

The black-robed guard said joyfully, ”This Beginningless Realm is truly our lucky star.”

As long as they caught the ascenders, these guards would also receive rewards from the Family.

Youming Zhuo ordered, ”Quickly surround the Ascension Platform! Do not let a single Cultivator escape.”

The black-robed guards looked excited and replied in unison, ”Yes, Captain!”

Then, the nine guards quickly dispersed and tightly surrounded the Ascension Platform.

Qin Yi felt the space shift, and a blinding light suddenly appeared before his eyes. The next moment, he appeared on the Ascension Platform.

As Qin Yi emerged, the light emanating from the Ascension Platform had not yet faded.

Youming Zhuo said with an excited expression, ”You, ascender, come over here obediently and become a slave of my Youming Family.”

”Hmph, otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Qin Yi was observing his surroundings; there were tall buildings all around, and he was standing on a circular platform.

Moreover, the air was filled with Immortal Qi, which could rapidly increase a Cultivator’s cultivation, far beyond what the Spiritual Qi of the Lower Realm could compare to.

Qin Yi’s gaze turned cold as he asked, ”What did you say? You want me to become a slave of your Youming Family?”

Youming Zhuo snorted, ”That’s right. Mine for our Youming Family for a thousand years, and then we will grant you Cultivators your freedom.”

”Forget it, you must be arrogant and unwilling to become a slave. I’ll just capture you myself.”

”Then I’ll capture your companions behind you as well. When I bring you all back, the Clan Chief will surely be very pleased.”

Youming Zhuo looked excited as he unleashed his First Level True Immortal Realm Aura. With a flash of his figure, he charged forward.

”Boom.”

Qin Yi threw a punch, swiftly striking Youming Zhuo.

With a thud, Youming Zhuo’s body was sent flying to the ground. After a brief struggle, his breath ceased.

From the moment Qin Yi threw the punch to the killing of Youming Zhuo, everything happened in a flash, so fast that the black-robed guards didn’t even have time to react.

One guard snapped out of it and shouted, ”The Captain has been killed! Everyone, run!”

After speaking, the guard’s Aura erupted, and his figure flickered as he tried to flee the Ascension Platform quickly.

”Boom.”

Nine streaks of Spiritual Qi attacks shot out from Qin Yi, flying rapidly toward the guards.

With a series of thuds, the nine black-robed guards fell to the ground, their life force completely dissipated.

Since these guards wanted to capture Qin Yi and make him a slave of the Youming Family, Qin Yi naturally would not let them go.

Soon, the Emperor Weapon, the cang qiong disk, appeared in the air. The Members of the Qin Family looked excited, glancing around—was this really the Immortal Realm?

Qin Yan’s face was full of excitement as he asked, ”Father, is this the Immortal Realm? The Aura filling the air is different from the Spiritual Qi of the Lower Realm.”

”I can clearly feel that cultivating here will be much faster than in the Lower Realm.”

Qin Yi nodded and said, ”If I’m not mistaken, the air is filled with Immortal Qi, which is more suitable for Cultivators to practice.”

Looking at the surrounding buildings, Qin Yi felt they were inside a city, which made him feel alright—it was better than being in some desolate wilderness.

Suddenly, a streak of light flashed, and a White-haired Old Man in gray robes appeared before Qin Yi. The old man was hunched, but his eyes were bright and piercing.

The Elder in Gray Robes looked surprised and introduced himself with a smile, ”I am the City Lord here, Elder Mu. You all must have ascended from the Lower Realm.”

”I’ve been in this city for many years, and this is the first time I’ve seen so many Cultivators ascend together.”

At the same time, Elder Mu was filled with shock. He sensed over a hundred True Immortal Auras on the cang qiong disk, which could almost rival the three great families.

Since when did a Lower Realm have so many True Immortal Realm experts? And there were quite a few Martial God experts as well.

Sensing no ill intent from Elder Mu, Qin Yi said with a smile, ”Elder Mu, I am the Qin Family Patriarch Qin Yi, and these are my clansmen behind me.”

”We have just ascended here. May I ask what place this is?”

Elder Mu said, ”This is the Great Luo Immortal Domain, one of the six great immortal domains of the Immortal Realm, and the city you are in is Tianyuan City.”

”Since Patriarch Qin has just arrived in the Immortal Realm, why not stay in our Tianyuan City for a while? It won’t be too late for your Qin Family to leave once you’ve familiarized yourselves with the surroundings.”

Elder Mu saw that the Qin Family’s overall strength was so formidable despite having just ascended from the Lower Realm.

Furthermore, he couldn’t see through Qin Yi’s cultivation, leading him to guess that as the patriarch, Qin Yi’s cultivation must also be in the True Immortal Realm.

Having such cultivation while still in the Lower Realm suggested that the cultivation Aptitude of the Qin Family members was extraordinary. Elder Mu felt a desire to befriend them.

As the lord of a city, finding a place for the Qin Family was very easy.
