After a Thousand Years Asleep, I Became the Sect's Founding Ancestor

After a thousand years of slumber, Sword Venerable Lin Fan awoke to find the world turned upside down.

Spiritual energy had dried up, legacies had been lost, and the sect he had protected was reduced to crumbling ruins.

A Sect Revival System and a little beggar with a uniquely powerful constitution became his only hope of rebuilding the sect.

As he brushed the dust from his newly accepted disciple, a compass in the distance had already pointed toward them.

As he began rebuilding the first Sword Pavilion, the cult's minions were already massing at the foot of the mountain.

Before him lay a world-ending conspiracy; behind him, the last spark of his sect.

In this age of dwindling cultivation, how could Lin Fan revive his sect while bringing an end to a fated battle that had spanned a thousand years?
