The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System Chapter 588 - The Cosmic Dawn Sect (01)

Chen Wei trembled, as though the person standing in front of him was a harbinger of doom rather than a mere mortal.

At last, he mustered his bravery and rose to his feet.

Qingyi possessed immense strength, yet he wasn't precisely an unbeatable powerhouse in these territories, given his current cultivation stage.

"The Chen family will always remember your aid, Senior Brother... I am Chen Wei, might I inquire your name?" Chen Wei inclined his head in deep respect.

"Long Qingyi." Qingyi answered, motioning for him to rise.

With a flick from Qingyi's hand, the gore staining his form vanished, replaced by a pristine outfit.

"Ah... so you're Senior Brother Qingyi. We owe you our lives—thank you immensely!" Chen Wei expressed with sincere thanks.

"No big deal. So, where exactly am I?" Qingyi inquired, extending his limbs.

"Well... could I explain on the way? I'm on the verge of missing something crucial—the Cosmic Dawn Sect's disciple recruitment."

Qingyi agreed eagerly, and the pair hastened forward. As they traveled, Chen Wei shared all the details he possessed.

This realm was the world of the fallen moon, a minor world in a secluded stellar cluster at the farthest north of the celestial domain.

The Chen and Luo families, mere trivial forces even here, yearned for the moment one of their kin could join the Cosmic Dawn Sect as a disciple.

A route to splendor.

That's precisely why the Luo family's thugs ambushed Chen Wei and his

retainer.

In the mortal realms, sects wielded vast authority, which in the immortal realms consolidated under mighty empires. Still, no such empire or sect dared dream of dominating a whole world.

Yet, according to Chen Wei's account, the Cosmic Dawn Sect controlled entire star systems.

With every star system boasting no fewer than four stars, the sect's domain included four stars plus over fifteen worlds, among them five populated ones.

Nevertheless, it ranked as a minor, overlooked group among the righteous sects governing the celestial expanse.

It boasted skilled array experts and formidable elders, but its battle prowess faded steadily, failing to nurture disciples capable of vying for resources against rival groups.

This dire situation prompted the sect to broaden its intake, welcoming any who dared face the trials of aptitude and might.

Typically, they'd favor scions of noble clans, but desperation for exceptional gifts upended tradition.

From peasants to outlaws.

All flocked to the enlistment sites set up by the

sect.

Upon hearing this tale, Qingyi let out a breath and summoned his status panel.

Instantly, confusion clouded his features.

What had become of his lust points?

'System... what in the world is a G lust point?" Qingyi questioned, utterly puzzled.

[Golden Lust points. Only G lust points allow purchases in the Celestial Sky. Your standard lust points have all been seamlessly transformed into G lust points.]

After the system's explanation, Qingyi exhaled resignedly, his gaze drifting to the distant skyline where myriad presences converged.

"Senior Brother Qingyi, we're nearly at the spot," Chen Wei noted,

accelerating his steps.

Before long, the trio reached an open area encircled by hordes of young individuals from varied origins, ranging from traders to paupers.

The sole criterion was an activated Dantian, drawing vast throngs—over ten thousand packed densely

in that very location.

The atmosphere buzzed with clamor, occasional brawls erupting over prime positions amid the throng.

All craved a view of the gateway to the hidden moonlight secret realm, watched by ten disciples and one elder. The disciples' robes displayed star emblems on their torsos, three per each, marking them as inner sect members.

The elder sported six stars on his chest.

He appeared as an unremarkable senior with a flowing white beard and calm, unwavering gaze.

"Silence," the elder commanded, his tone deep and gravelly.

The crowd hushed at once.

'I can't pierce their cultivation levels...' Qingyi mused, his sight sweeping over the disciples and elder with intrigue.

Engaging his draconic vision, he encountered such overwhelming Qi that it compelled him to avert his stare.

Indeed, he found himself at the base of the hierarchy once more. 'At least from here, there's only upward mobility, yeah?' Qingyi's mouth quirked upward.

"Will Senior Brother Qingyi join the selection? You should... someone with your gifts will definitely be valued." Chen

Wei murmured nearby.

Qingyi assented.

He remained woefully underpowered and required vastly more lust points, plus deeper insight into his standing in the Celestial Heaven—Chen Wei's knowledge of the broader landscape was quite limited.

Qingyi personally recognized only Qianyao's father, a supreme entity at the heart of the Celestial Heaven's might.

Locating him would smooth his rise like slicing soft tofu.

Regrettably, without any way to reach out, he faced the arduous path ahead.

"You've all gathered for one purpose." The venerable elder ascended, his form levitating as a potent aura enveloped the assembly. "To forge ahead as vanguards. Esteemed hopefuls of the Cosmic Dawn Sect, tomorrow's pillars who shall shape the sect's destiny."

With a gesture of his hand, the portal to the hidden moonlight secret realm revealed itself.

It resembled a cavernous mouth shrouded in shadow, yet the elder's motion illuminated its depths, resembling a gateway to a separate dimension.

[NT: In this universe, "star system" does not follow the actual astronomical definition. It is merely a territorial and political division used by the sects and empires of the celestial sky.]
