Everything Started When I Became a Furnace

For a thousand lifetimes, Ye Yan has endured unimaginable torment, repeatedly exploited as nothing more than a living vessel for others to harvest cultivation power. In his current incarnation, he believed his fate had finally changed. Chosen as the prime disciple of the Yunyan Sect’s leader, he assumed he would receive proper guidance and respect. Instead, this esteemed position was merely an elaborate deception. The sect never intended to nurture him; they were simply fattening him up to be used as a human furnace, a disposable tool meant to be sacrificed to fuel their own martial advancement. Just as the ritual to drain his life force is about to commence, a mysterious System suddenly awakens within him, altering his doomed trajectory. As a welcome gift, he receives a novice package containing extraordinary treasures: a mystical potion capable of drastically accelerating his cultivation, a miraculous pill designed to forge an immortal physique, and an immediate two-stage surge in his spiritual power. Armed with this sudden, overwhelming strength, Ye Yan receives his very first directive from the System—a clear and urgent command to escape the treacherous Yunyan Sect before they can claim his life once again.
