What Do You Mean, a Late-Life Comeback? I'm a Peerless Young Prodigy

Su Mu, a disciple of Mount Shu, is reborn at the age of eighteen, only to awaken an Old-Age Comeback System.

[You were ambushed by a villain and your foundation was damaged. After five hundred years of hard cultivation, you still have no hope of forming a core. Your sect has fallen, your enemies run rampant, and your lifespan is nearly over. How can you accept such an end? Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Never bully the poor old man. Make your comeback!]

[To make a comeback, you need the courage and resolve to burn your boats. Break before you rebuild.]

[To make your comeback, cripple your cultivation within three days and receive the talent [Innate Sword Bones]...]

Su Mu stared at his already gravely injured and shattered dantian, falling silent.

Did this System show up at the worst possible time?

The next moment, a System notification announced that the mission was complete and the reward had been delivered...

Good System, you showed up at exactly the right time!

What old-age comeback? In this life, I'm an unrivaled prodigy!
