Mortal Leads Sect to Ascension

After dying suddenly while playing mahjong, Ji Nanchen was reborn as the mortal sect leader of the dilapidated Duan Yun Sect in the cultivation world. Unbeknownst to him, his true identity was the unfathomably powerful Eternal Dao Venerable. He concealed his extraordinary cultivation, quietly laying the groundwork for success, recruiting talented disciples from all walks of life and teaching them according to their aptitude, single-handedly bringing the sect back on track. Facing provocations and schemes from forces like the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Myriad Poisons Sect, he skillfully feigned weakness to outmaneuver them, powerfully slapping them in the face, protecting his sect's disciples as they steadily advanced, and finally revealing his true identity, leading everyone to shatter the Heavenly Gate and achieve the ultimate exhilarating ascension of the entire sect!
