The MC can't train martial arts because if he do, then he will die (like the original owner of the body who took the risk)..... But exactly like the original owner, the MC trained in martial arts... FOR A FEW YEARS !!!!!!! and he's not dead, just a little weakened. (and for nothing if not for the habit because he can't raise his cultivation)

From what happened in these 2 chapters, I don't know how the Palace managed to survive until now.... There are internal conflicts, external ingerances and spies everywhere.....

For the internal conflicts, the MC's mother was the previous leader but because she broke a s*upid rule she flew away from the palace. And because of that the MC is hated by everyone in the Palace exept from his maid and the new leader (how convenient). This latter used a lot of his influence to keep the MC, thus creating a lot of dissatisfaction. What's more, the leader spent a lot of resources on the MC for, seemingly, nothing and thus add even more dissatisfaction.

For the external ingerences, as of now, a Sect (more powerful than a Palace, but not too much either) pressure the Palace...... A lot!!!! It's logic that the strong pressure the weaks, but it must be within limits (to not lead the weaks into a rebellion) like when reclaming some "protection fees" (which they do) if you see what I mean ^^ But here they even force the Palace to accept some of their disciples in the Palace and train them as if they were the Palace's disciples. And they, apparently, have a small camp next to the Palace to monitor them.

And last, the Spies. Like said ahead, there are some disciples of the Sects in the Palace and they are here to use the Palace resources and martial arts to cultivate (it's literally daylight robbery)... And perhaps also to create problems because they seems to do that very well :-/ (they didn't hesitate to bully the MC to rob a precious pill even when they know the pill is the leader one and that the MC is overprotected by the leader)

And finally the system..... There is nothing to say about the system itself (it's a normal system) but the system needed some gathering of energy to be activated..... It's that the problem.... Usually, the system is either already with the MC or the MC trigger the system and reveal it (like killing a beast, another person, mastering a technique,...) BUT NEVER WILL IT BE AN ENERGY PROBLEM !!!! Because either the energy is taken from the transmigration and thus the System is already with the MC from the very beginning or either the energy needed is so tremendous that only a very very very........ very very powerful being or phenomenon can gather so much energy (I mean it's a heaven defying system!!!!!) And no, nobody will convince me that some tr*sh pills and medicines (even for a few years) and a somewhat usefull one (to be available by the lowest organization possible, it mustn't be as high level as these country bumpkins think it is) can do it :-/

MC practically never has lost a fight so far... He also doesn't quite have a spouse yet, so don't trust the wiki of crazy levelling system. The MC is a cultivation maniac and in the 500s, he's achieved the late stages (6-10) of realm 6, Void Spirit. Something I personally enjoy is how he doesn't nonstop face opponents who are a higher realm than himself, it adds depth to novel as you realise that the world isn't full of genius', some being very weak even if in a Rank 3, 4 or 5 influence.

Influences are divided into five grades (so far)

1st grade - Palace (realms are usually at max realm three, Core condensation)

2nd grade - Sect (realms are usually at max realm four, Spirit Core)

3rd grade - Mansion (realms are usually at max realm five, Spirit Transformation)

4th grade - Empire (realms are usually at max realm six, Void Spirit - there was an instance of a rank seven being in an empire)

5th grade - Divine Nation (Realms are usually at max realm eight, Saint King)

Though Realm 9s, Divine Kings are mentioned, it's said that there currently are none and only exist in the Heaven world.

There being three worlds: Ghost World, Mortal World, Heaven World.

They introduced the girl who protected him for most of his childhood when he was weak and quickly wrote her off once he started getting powerful. The aunt is the only one that manages to stay decently powerful by growing quickly and the rest get the leftovers. He doesn't really help any of his allies once their arc is done unless the system rewards him. Speaking of which, the MC was reincarnated here if I remember correctly. This hasn't been a plot point at all. He never mentions anything about his past nor does he take advantage of this as of where I stopped.
