Failed Tribulation, Return Home to Found a Sect

Tang Ximo, a cultivator who failed to transcend the Tribulation Lightning and was reduced to ashes, unexpectedly returns to her original world on Blue Star, finding herself back in her body on the very day she died. Despite her failure, she retains her cultivation realm and binds with a new Ascension System managed jointly by the Heavenly Dao of this world and the main system. The system reveals that Spiritual Qi Recovery has begun on Blue Star and assigns her a new mission: to establish a sect and found a school within two days. In exchange for completing her previous mission, she receives a mountain range reward, which she chooses as the Taiwei Mountain Range in Shu, Yu Country, and two billion RMB deposited into her account. With the help of her system spirit, Little Golden Dragon, Tang Ximo constructs Taichu Hall atop the mountain, sets up protective formations, and scatters spiritual plant seeds to accelerate the generation of spiritual energy, officially naming the institution Taichu Cultivation Academy.

Her first task is to recruit ten students within five days. While dining at a night market, she witnesses a group of bullies harassing a sixteen-year-old girl named Yin Shu. Using her cultivation powers, Tang Ximo freezes the attackers and reveals her identity as the academy's dean, offering Yin Shu a jade tablet as a temporary admission token. Yin Shu, who possesses a Supreme-Grade Fire Spirit Root, accepts the offer. Later, Tang Ximo spots Fu Yan, a probationary member of the Bureau of Anomalous Management with a high-grade Wind Spirit Root, on a passenger plane and gives him a similar jade tablet. She then returns to her family home, where she reunites with her parents, Tangxi Hua and Xu Wanqing, and her younger brother, Tangxi Xuan. After demonstrating her powers through sword flight and spiritual peeling, she reveals her thousand-year journey in the cultivation world and administers Marrow Cleansing Pills to her family, preparing them for their own cultivation paths.

The family undergoes spirit root testing, revealing exceptional talents across the board: Tangxi Xuan has four top-grade roots, Xu Wanqing has a top-grade light root suppressing fire and wood, and Tangxi Hua possesses a rare three-attribute gold, fire, and earth root. Following the painful but successful marrow cleansing process, Tang Ximo takes her family to Taiwei Mountain to formally enroll them as the academy's first disciples. She teaches them the basics of Qi Induction and establishes the academy's structure, including uniform distribution and dormitory plans. During a meal in the city, she encounters a young girl named Li Chu and her father, Li Chu, who suffers from hearing inexplicable voices. Tang Ximo identifies Li Chu as a potential Summoner with high affinity and approaches the father with an enrollment offer, claiming the academy can help his daughter control her abilities.

The story establishes Tang Ximo as the central figure rebuilding cultivation on a modern Earth, balancing her role as a powerful sect leader with her life as a daughter and sister. The core conflict involves recruiting enough students to complete her mission while navigating the emerging spiritual landscape of a world that is only beginning to recover its spiritual energy. Key turning points include her successful return, the establishment of the academy's physical foundation, the recruitment of her first few students from diverse backgrounds, and the integration of her family into the cultivation path. The narrative direction points toward the expansion of Taichu Cultivation Academy, the integration of cultivation with modern society, and the eventual cooperation with national authorities like the Bureau of Anomalous Management.

Tang Ximo's approach combines ancient cultivation techniques with modern convenience, utilizing her system's resources to build infrastructure and train students rapidly. The presence of the Bureau of Anomalous Management indicates that the government is already aware of supernatural phenomena, setting the stage for future political and social dynamics as cultivation becomes public knowledge. The story emphasizes the personal relationships of the protagonist, particularly her bond with her family, who serve as both her support system and her first students. The recruitment of individuals with unique talents, such as Yin Shu's fire affinity and Li Chu's summoning potential, suggests a diverse curriculum and the beginning of a new era for cultivators on Blue Star.
