The purple-robed Celestial Master Zhang Wei is on the verge of scattering into nothingness after failing to ascend, when he sees his founding patriarch tear through space and time and scoop him up.
> He thinks he’s about to be chewed out, but instead the patriarch says gravely, “Cultivation is ancient history. The future needs you to save it!”
> Zhang Wei stares at the future-tech System the patriarch hands him, his expression serious. “Patriarch, can I get a newbie bonus in advance?”
> The next second, with monstrous demons filling the sky before him, the purple-robed Celestial Master pulls out a Gatling gun and beams. “Times have changed, gentlemen monsters...”
> Wait, fine, the Gatling gun I can understand, but what is this blue-glowing peachwood sword? What kind of future technology is that?!
