Starting at Eighty-Six, I Defy the Heavens and Slay Geniuses

Thanks for the invite. I’m in another world, and I’m nearly in the grave.

My name is Jiang Xun. I was just reminiscing about my youth in the courtyard when a System suddenly popped up, calling itself the Genius Youth System.

Come on, Mr. System, I’m eighty-six. How am I still a youth?

[Newbie Quest: Your peer, Li Qinglian, has the only sword spirit root in the world. But because of its “concealed treasure” trait, nobody knows about it yet. Host, get close to her and become friends. Reward: Sword Spirit Root.]

Of course this damn System showed up too late. That was seventy years ago.

Li Qinglian was my ex-girlfriend. We broke up fifty-five years ago.

Go looking for her now? I couldn’t help feeling my old bones.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t resist the System’s reward and fell right into its trap.

From then on, the System that had arrived seventy years late turned my life upside down. It was only then that I learned what true cultivation was really like!
