The path to ascension is severed, and the legacy of the sect is fading.
At first, Guanyue only wanted to find a hapless disciple to inherit the sect's legacy and leave the sect a sliver of hope.
Who knew that, after taking in disciples, she'd end up with as many as five thousand hapless ones?
These disciples call themselves players. They treat the world as a game, cultivation as leveling up, secret realms as dungeons, and training as hidden quests... They also often crowd around her, chattering incessantly about progressing through the main quest.
Of course, as a mature sect leader, Guanyue tolerated all their bizarre antics. After all, without these disciples who can't die, who would inherit Guanyue Sect, where she could drop dead at any moment?
Who would have thought that, halfway through passing on the sect's legacy, these ridiculous disciples would manage to:
Revive the dilapidated sect, except why do disciples keep trying to break into the forbidden grounds to dig up the "ancestral graves"? (Players: So the respawn point in this game is a grave? I'm really not a necromancer, or, no, a ghost cultivator, am I?)
Restore the incomplete cultivation manual, but Guanyue Sect's techniques aren't meant for you to act out "I'm going to marry seven people"! (Players: Hehe, this is great. I can perform a Burning Winter all by myself.)
Bring her injured cultivation back to its peak, but why is the entire cultivation world chanting, "Sect Leader, soar with confidence, your disciples will follow forever"? (Players: Sect Leader is number one, our Sect Leader is the best, our Sect Leader is the best in the world! We want to debut our Sect Leader in another world!)
Faced with the rumor circulating around the cultivation world that "Guanyue Sect's disciples are powerful but reckless, have no regard for ethics or propriety, and have something wrong with their heads," Guanyue let out a long sigh and cut off the head of the Demon Venerable who had secretly been pulling the strings.
What's wrong with being a little reckless? My disciples have every reason to do as they please.
Besides, haven't your disciples won your sect the honor of being "the number one sect under heaven," helped you complete your legacy, and brought you to the brink of ascension?
But...
Who sent the Buddhist disciple and the Sword Venerable to my door, and which wicked disciple wrote the three-way romance, "Sword Venerable x Sect Leader x Buddhist Disciple," that they're carrying?
Step forward. I'll give you half an incense stick's head start!

1. A showcase of bizarre modern cultivation-world antics: love quotes carved into the mountain-protecting formation / deep-frying Crazy Thursday chicken in a pill furnace / a hype squad breakdancing in the water dungeon
2. A red-clad, fiercely protective big-sister sect leader x a human-shaped walking weapon of a Sword Venerable; the Buddhist disciple is just an innocent victim (Disciples: In a three-way relationship, there's always something to learn from my teacher's wife!)
3. Player mental state: delivering Meituan takeout by flying sword / livestreaming spirit beasts eating / turning the inner-demon tribulation into Werewolf (Sect Leader's blood pressure keeps going up by 999)
4. Before reading, prepare: an electronic wooden fish (to accrue merit) / heart pills (the Sect Leader's brand) / sunglasses (to keep the ridiculous brilliance from blinding you)
5. Includes an 818-style forum thread. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.
