Synopsis

[An Emperor in His Twilight Years] [Extends His Life by Taking Disciples] [The Emperor’s Unassailable Dignity]

(The Heavenly Emperor is the absolute pinnacle of combat power. There are no immortals in this book, and the cultivation realms don’t endlessly stack on one another.)

The rating just went up, and it depends on the word count. It’ll rise.

After transmigrating to a fantasy world, Chen Xuan spent a full hundred thousand years pushing himself to the limit, going from an utterly ordinary servant to the invincible Emperor of Heaven, the pinnacle of power who ruled the universe alone.

He thought he could finally lie flat and enjoy a dull but invincible retirement. But no one had told him that even the Emperor of Heaven would eventually run out of years to live.

[Ding! The Disciple-Taking Life Extension System has activated!]

[Take on disciples to extend the Host’s lifespan according to their overall potential! Investing in the future means investing in yourself!]

That day, Chen Xuan broke his rule against taking disciples.

And so, the entire Tianyuan Sacred Land began to feel that something was off.

“Grand Ancestor, I’ve driven the Saint away. He has no master now!”

Chen Xuan nodded. “Well done. Bring that Saint here at once. I’ll take him as my personal disciple!”

“Grand Ancestor, that demoness is the reincarnation of a world-destroying fiend. Everyone should kill her!”

Chen Xuan slapped the throne. “Nonsense! She’s clearly a child of destiny, destined to become an Emperor. I’ll also… ahem, I’ll personally subdue and reform her so she doesn’t stray down the wrong path!”

Others take disciples to pass on their legacy. He takes disciples to extend his life.

Years later, as people gazed at the rows of Sword Gods, Pill Emperors, Demon Lords, Formation Sovereigns, and more behind Chen Xuan, they all fell into deep thought.

Chen Xuan merely sighed with the weight of the years. “I really only wanted to live a few more years. How did I end up raising all my disciples into Emperors?”

Stories Where the Powerful Protagonist Takes on Disciples, With No Female Lead

The protagonist is incredibly powerful but doesn't know it. He takes on a group of disciples or students without realizing who they are. No heroine, no romantic tension. If there absolutely has to be a pairing, I'd rather it be with a man. And no harem, that's a huge turnoff!!!

A seasoned bookworm with over 5000 hours of reading experience! While some of the content is somewhat clichéd, the theme is fresh, and the protagonist's faction possesses extraordinary cohesion. Due to external pressure and enemies, they form a force resembling a utopian world.

It's really good, the male lead is super amazing! It's just so short and fast-paced! So... Is this a case of lovers eventually becoming fellow disciples? 🆘

It's pretty good in the early stages, let's raise it to chapter 150 first before seeing more progress.

I really like this book, but I'd like to ask if the main character has a partner? I felt the Empress of Yaochi at the beginning was very good; could the author perhaps write about him and her? Of course, this is just my personal suggestion. 😘😘😘😘

It's pretty good overall, though there are a few minor issues with the nested structure, but it's still bearable. Towards the end, it's basically all about mechanical ascension, like interstellar travel, a clash between technology and cultivation. 🤔 The system's presence isn't very strong, and the protagonist is the strongest.

It looks quite innovative and isn't just a simple portrayal of the main character.

Very good. Those who gave it one or two stars obviously watched less than 30 minutes or even an hour; they didn't watch it carefully at all. I think the details in the celestial realm are top-notch, and the author's polishing is excellent. 👍👍👍

It's a great watch; I finished it in one day. The plot is very coherent, and the messages it conveys are very positive, not mindless at all. I highly recommend everyone to check this out. It's really good, and every character is portrayed vividly and realistically.
