Uncle Nine: I became Master Qianhe, and my fame resounded throughout the Daoist sect.

Chizuru: My combat power is 7,500, and yours is only 5, a piece of trash?

The first one in Maoshan.

At this moment, Zhong Fabai stared blankly at himself in the mirror, utterly shocked.

"I... became Chizuru? The one who played in the peak tournament?"

His girlfriend ran off with someone else, and he had a couple of drinks, so how come the whole situation changed when he woke up?

It actually appeared in this quaint house from the Republican era.

Although the room was old-fashioned, it was very luxurious.

Chizuru thought about it and immediately understood.

His main business was royal business, serving the imperial court.

And this court was the Qing Dynasty.

The reason he felt he was Chizuru was because he had inherited all of Chizuru's memories and abilities.

The most important point is that he has four apprentices, who are referred to as the four directions: east, west, south, and north.

All four were adopted and raised by his predecessor, and they were all very capable, patiently cultivating the Dao, and very obedient to him. At a young age, they reached the peak of the Daoist novice level, making them outstanding young talents among the Maoshan generation.

For example, his senior brother Lin Fengjiao and his senior brother Simu, their disciples were only at the early and middle stages of the Daoist path.

"Thankfully, I inherited those memories, otherwise I would have been completely doomed. But, this Daoist Qianhe's real name is actually Zhong Fabai?!"

"That's true, Chizuru is just a Daoist name..."

Chizuru breathed a sigh of relief; inheriting the Dao and possessing strength were the most important things.

Otherwise, if he doesn't even know how to use it, what's the point?

You'll die in this zombie world in no time!

......................

In his memory, this world was not the ordinary Republic of China era.

Although it was the Republic of China, the Qing government still existed.

He cultivated his skills by borrowing a bit of the Qing Dynasty's fortune, while also serving the Qing Dynasty.

This is why his Taoist temple is more luxurious than others, and why he has four disciples—because he is not short of money.

He also learned from his memories that he, Chizuru, used to play in the peak competition frequently and no longer had any magical artifacts left.

Most importantly, in his memory, this wasn't just a zombie world; there was also Uncle Nine!

In his memory, just like in the movie he watched, this Lin Fengjiao had always been guarding Renjia Town.

He had two apprentices named Qiusheng Wencai.

Moreover, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that they do have a senior disciple in Maoshan.

His name is Shi Jian.

This senior disciple from Maoshan is the man who, in the Dharma-ending Age, could conjure up a screen full of lightning with his bare hands.

More importantly, Mao Xiaofang's Fuxi Hall is also located in Gantian Town in the north!

It's safe to say that he knows almost every movie character!

They were still living in the same era.

This is a bit interesting.

Because he was involved in royal business and traveled frequently, he had seen and experienced just as many people and things as Si Mu.

He also discovered some movie locations, which was really scary.

It's truly a mixed bag of a world!

Chizuru, on the other hand, was specifically responsible for transporting corpses, arranging burials, and selecting auspicious days for princes and other members of the royal family.

.......................

Through the information in his memory, he learned that the Taoist techniques he had mastered were very extensive, covering almost all fields such as corpse driving, corpse refining, formations and talisman drawing. He could be described as a hexagonal warrior, just like Uncle Nine!

He simply didn't know who was more powerful, him or Uncle Nine.

Because the original owner hadn't seen Uncle Nine for a long time, he didn't know what Uncle Nine's strength was.

Don't mistakenly believe that corpse refining is an evil cultivation method. Although corpse refining sounds like a villain, it's not at all.

Shi Jian and his neighbor, Wu Zhenren.

It was a complete accident.

Whether the act of corpse refining is righteous or evil depends on the user's purpose and intended use.

"So many familiar faces, it seems like the place is full of top-tier matches!" Chizuru said, narrowing her eyes.

When he learned that there were so many film and television characters in the world, he couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.

I thought it was just an ordinary world, but now it seems it's not so simple.

After all, he is currently only at the early stage of the Earth Master level!

The cultivation stages are: Daoist Boy, Daoist Master, Human Master, Earth Master, and Celestial Master.

And he, Chizuru, was at the early stage of the Earth Master realm!

.....................

Just then, A Dong, one of the four cardinal directions, walked over.

"Master, the gang leader, Uncle Nine, wants us to go to Yu Garden tomorrow."

Hearing the sound, Chizuru turned around and remembered something.

"Uncle Nine, the gang leader?"

Chizuru tried hard to recall information about this person, but she couldn't come up with any clues.

That's true. Qianhe rarely stays here to oversee things. Even though his Dao Hall is here, he rarely comes.

He mostly worked for the Qing government and rarely stayed here. The reason he was stationed here was simply because he was born here.

But just then, something else suddenly popped into his mind.

In his memory, a few days ago, a member of the royal family from the frontier came to him and told him that he needed to transport the body of a royal prince back to the capital.

Thinking of this, Chizuru couldn't help but shudder.

"Damn it, it's the peak competition right off the bat! Why did this old man have to die a few days ago?!" Qianhe cursed inwardly.

If he had traveled through time earlier, he might have had a chance to decline the offer and even distance himself from the Manchus.

After all, he had no intention of working for the Manchus; it wasn't worth cultivating for the sake of that little bit of luck that was about to collapse.

However, now that his predecessor has accepted the task, if he refuses again, not only will his own reputation be damaged, but Maoshan will also be implicated.

In this era, many Taoist priests believed that serving the royal family was a very remarkable thing.

Just like the Celestial Master's Mansion, it was precisely because it aligned itself with the emperor during the Song Dynasty that it had the opportunity to become famous and renowned throughout the world.

Prior to this, the Celestial Master's Mansion had always been suppressed by Maoshan and remained unknown.

In fact, before the Song Dynasty, Maoshan was the most prominent Taoist sect.

Previously, Maoshan disdained any association with the imperial family, but now, because it is the end of the Dharma era, they need to rely on that bit of luck to cultivate.

....................

Just as Chizuru was about to refuse, a notification sound rang in his mind.

This excited him.

This is the system!

He's a time traveler, he knows this place well!

[Ding! A man who only plays Peak Matches has been detected. Peak Match system is initiating binding...]

[Ding! The Peak Tournament System has finished loading. Would you like to bind it?]

"Yes, yes, it must be! All of them, immediately!"

Chizuru roared inwardly.

Their will to survive is absolutely off the charts!

Chizuru: Every single match is a peak-level game?
