The Cultivation World's First Senior Brother

[No romance + no harem + steady power progression]

A hundred years ago, the Demon Path Ghost King brought calamity to the world. Mu Ci, sect master of the Illusion Sect and the greatest expert under heaven, used his life as the price and led the world's top fighters into a bloody battle, finally putting the Ghost King to death. After that battle, the Illusion Sect's elite were wiped out and Mu Ci perished. The sect, once foremost among the Eight Great Sects, gradually fell into decline.

A hundred years later, Mu Ci awoke at the foot of Mount Wudang, reborn as a little beggar with barely any clothes on. Before he could even come to terms with his new identity, he received devastating news: the Xueheng Sect had gone bankrupt and vanished.

Mu Ci: ...I gave my life for this?

Reviving the sect couldn't wait. But this body had no spiritual meridians and no connections. The only things he could rely on were the memories of his previous life's peerless cultivation and countless lost techniques. So he picked up a beggar-bashing stick and began to “properly train” the disciples who remained.

The Xue Sect disciples, once mocked by the other sects as “scrap collectors,” went down the mountain and beat one genius after another until they were on their knees calling them Daddy.

The other sects were aghast. “Wasn't the Xueheng Sect on the verge of bankruptcy? Where did this pack of lunatics come from?”

Then one day, a creditor came calling. He saw the man sunning himself at the mountain gate and suddenly turned deathly pale, dropping to his knees with a thud. “M-Mu Ci? Weren't you dead a hundred years ago...?”

Mu Ci lazily lifted his eyelids. “I died, but I came back. Now pay back everything you owed the Xueheng Sect, principal and interest.”
