Chapter 3 — The Cheat Finally Arrives
The moment Qi flowed through Su Xiaoyao's body for the first time… the world stopped.
Literally.
Wind halted and air froze, Even the floating dust hung suspended mid-air.
It felt like someone hit pause on reality.
His heartbeat echoed loudly in his ears.
"…Okay," he muttered softly.
A familiar expectation rose in his mind.
And the next second—
[DING!]
A crisp, absolute, soul-deep chime echoed inside his consciousness.
Not from his ears.Not from outside.
From within.
A cold mechanical voice followed, it was flat and emotionless unable to distinguish between male or female
"Host has officially stepped onto the path of cultivation.""Initializing — Strongest Eternal System.""Binding… 1%… 15%… 50%… 80%… 100%.""Binding complete."
He blinked slowly.
"…Oh."
A faint, slow smile crept onto his face.
"Finally… my cheat arrives."
Silence lingered briefly.
He thought calmly:
"Open status panel."
A faint brilliance flickered in his mind—
Then a clean, radiant blue interface unfolded before his consciousness.
[Status Panel]
[Name: Su Xiaoyao]
[Age: 7]
[Identity: Novice Cultivator, Transmigrator]
[Realm: Body Tempering — 1st Stage]
[Cultivation Technique:📜 Azure Vein Tempering Scripture]
[Treasures: —]
[System Functions:• System Space — Active• Sign-In System — Active• Other Functions — Locked]
The mechanical voice echoed again.
"Strongest Eternal System — officially activated."
Nice.
"…Why so late?" he asked calmly.
Half a second of emotionless processing—
["Host previously had not begun cultivation.""System does not activate for non-initiated mortals."]
It sounded ruthless but also reasonable.
"So if I never cultivated… you'd never appear?"
["Correct."]
He exhaled slowly.
"…Fine. At least you're here now."
"explain the sign in function"
["Host inquiry acknowledged."]
["Currently available function: Sign-In System."]
Information streamed into his mind, Clear. Structured. Efficient.
Daily sign-ins, Monthly sign-ins, Yearly sign-ins, Location sign-ins, Critical reward multipliers.
Three potential rewards, Pills, Physiques, Treasures, Techniques.
Basically—
Heavenly loot drops.
[DING!]
[Daily sign in detected, does host wish to sign in?]
He didn't hesitate.
"System, Sign-In."
[DING!]
["Congratulations, Host."]
["First Sign-In — Critical Reward Triggered."]
["Obtained:"]
[1️⃣ Perfect Body Pill — Enables flawless breakthrough foundation to Qi refining realm.]
[2️⃣ Mountain Blazing Sword — Earth-Grade Mid-Tier Treasure Sword.]
[3️⃣ Spiritual Origin Body — A top-tier evolving physique capable of transcending into higher divine forms.]
All rewards stored neatly inside System Space.
Except—
["Detected: Spiritual Origin Body cannot remain in storage."]
["Does Host wish to integrate?"]
He paused briefly.
"If I integrate this physique, it may cause disturbance. Can it be hidden?"
Instant response.
["Affirmative."]
["Isolation Barrier activated.""All fluctuations concealed. External detection: impossible."]
Perfect.
"Integrate."
Warmth exploded through him, his bones became more refined, his blood surged, his muscles strengthened, his meridians became stronger and wider, and impurities were forcefully expelled, his skin became more radiant
His cultivation skyrocketed—
Body Tempering 2nd Stage…3rd…4th…5th…6th…7th…
Stopping at Body Tempering — 8th Stage.
And at that exact moment—
Reality resumed.
Wind blew.Distant chatter returned.Life continued like nothing had happened.
Meanwhile…
He had just integrated a constitution.
And this wasn't even its final form.
This was only…its first stage.
The warmth faded and silence returned.
Then—
The world fully resumed.
Outside, everyone probably thought he was quietly resting but little did they know..
He had just installed a divine cheat engine.
He inhaled deeply… and exhaled softly.
"So this life," he whispered,
"…truly starts now."
Confidence surged—
Then paused.
Something smelled.
Bad.
Very bad.
Right.
Impurities.
Without anyone noticing, he slipped out quietly, washed everything thoroughly, purified himself like a civilized human being… then returned fresh.
Only then…
A faint smile formed.
No fear.Just calm expectation.
This world was no longer a dangerous unknown.
It was—
an opportunity.
