But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like you were having the time of your life, then the next day got a notice: school’s back in session—oh, you’re the principal now, no more lying around, you’ve got to worry about the school’s pass rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One path was immortality and freedom, roaming the heavens as you pleased; the other was the weary, white-haired sect master burdened with endless labor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it wasn’t that extreme—but suddenly having so many new responsibilities still felt unfamiliar. Su Lin’s Jin Dan–stage intellect was racing, thinking how to offload the sect master’s duties as much as possible within the contract’s limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Su, you’re awake already?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan stood up from the ground, brushing dust off his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped his finger against the jade bottle; the sound was crisp, the material decent. A little wine clung to the inner walls—no need to waste it. He’d rinse it with spiritual spring water later and give it to Black Emperor to drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were there five new peaks in the sky? What was Su Lin up to now? Ye Fan was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did one of those peaks feel connected to him? Ye Fan was deeply confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan rubbed his eyes and climbed to his feet, seeing Yao Lao standing with Zhongli and Su Lin. He greeted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good morning, Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Morning, Old Su, Old Zhong, Old Ye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the movement around them, the others gradually woke from their dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Li looked at the wine bottle in his arms. He still had some memory of yesterday—he seemed to have seen Nan Gong Wan, then hugged her tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the qi within his body and his strengthened physique, he shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good wine, but best drunk alone in a secluded place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too undignified.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At least the others probably felt the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Li speculated silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kleen’s tentacles retracted, restoring his normal face. He sensed his spiritual essence had improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Su, what are you staring at over there?” Ye Fan walked over. He’d eaten and drunk his fill and was ready to leave—he wanted to tell Su Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped beside Su Lin and glanced at the scroll in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, another person fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the good stuff?” Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and used Three Thousand Thunderbolts, darting across a short distance like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me take a look~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan leaned in to inspect it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next instant, he was silenced and frozen in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this?” Kleen rubbed his head, then snapped his fingers—a flame leapt to life beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Li watched the others frozen in place, his expression puzzled. He turned to Zhongli, who was sipping tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli met his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Han, would you like some tea?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Han…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fragments flashed through Han Li’s mind: Su Lin, under Heaven’s Mandate, parting the clouds, gazing down with everyone at the city’s architecture below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And himself, beneath a flyover, holding a copy of the Qingyuan Sword Art, speaking to passersby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyuan Sword Art?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked his storage bag—it was still there. He stepped forward to see what they were staring at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others also walked over to gather around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Han Li fell silent too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was clear. On Shuijing Peak, the only sound was Zhongli turning pages—absolute stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until Xiao Yan broke the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sect Master…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it, Elder Xiao?” Su Lin felt his voice was dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seems kind of interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re serious?” Su Lin was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But when am I supposed to teach disciples?” Xiao Yan shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait till I reach Great Sage status before I start teaching.” Ye Fan looked up at the floating peaks, wondering which one was his Beidou Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he glanced at Emiya Shirou—the boy’s eyes were twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emiya Shirou muttered: “Inventory… Sect inventory…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We probably should wait a bit,” Han Li spoke up. “It’s not impossible after this, but our current cultivation levels still need improvement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t mind,” Kleen said. “But this year won’t work—your world’s time flow is about to synchronize with mine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait till you’re no longer the administrator.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let’s leave it for now,” Su Lin said, preparing to return the scroll to his system space. “For now, pretend nothing happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hand reached out and grabbed Su Lin’s wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly—it was Lu Mingfei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is a… visitor?” Lu Mingfei stared at Su Lin, eyes vacant. “What is a visitor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin patted Lu Mingfei’s shoulder, nodded, gave a thumbs-up, and smiled encouragingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep going.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why am I the only visitor?!” Lu Mingfei looked on the verge of collapse, as if everyone had excluded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who laughed?! Who just laughed?!” Lu Mingfei went frantic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough,” Su Lin soothed Lu Mingfei gently. “Because you really can’t do anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t do anything…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t do anything…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t do…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei slackened his grip on Su Lin’s hand, recalling his own skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed… he really had nothing impressive except StarCraft and shooting games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation was only Qi Condensation late stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—I do have something I can offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve got one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Su Lin stored the contract, Lu Mingfei lifted his head and said: “My Word of Power—‘Do Not Die!’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If disciples don’t train with real swords and spears, how will they understand the cruelty of the cultivation world?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The cultivation world is always filled with bloodshed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With me here, they can train without restraint—as long as they have a breath left, I can bring them back.” Lu Mingfei puffed out his chest proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin’s gaze sharpened. He felt Lu Mingfei’s logic was sound—unanswerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So those peaks are meant for us?” Ye Fan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably…” Su Lin guessed where his points had gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go check it out!” Ye Fan flew toward the peak connected to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go too.” Xiao Yan used his flight technique to soar toward Tianhuo Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin ignored Lu Mingfei’s hopeful gaze and turned away, changing the subject: “Focus on your cultivation, future Elder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin vanished in a streak of light. Joking—he’d spent over two thousand points per peak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s my peak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1124,"2026-06-20T04:17:29.700Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3eb395036d7956a85b93c7e3e694e1a814c23dfd5b2d1997a3f20ff55fd582f5","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-91","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-89",720,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-cover.jpg"]
