Sect Master’s Immortal Journey is a popular novel that blends Action, Martial Arts, Supernatural and more. Written by the author Shu Shan Dao Ke. 841 chapters have been translated, and translation of other chapters is in progress.
This is a story of a transmigrator leading a small martial sect to rise. It is a fantasy tale set in a world of ordinary people cultivating and vying for supremacy, without the assistance of any system.
💡 The Desert Bottom-Feeder. Meng Zhang is a transmigrator, but don't expect a "System" or a "Cheat" to hand him the world on a silver platter. He starts as the head of the Taiyi Sect, located in a desolate, resource-starved desert. This is a story of survival, bowing your head to superior powers when necessary, and the slow, grueling climb from being a "bottom-feeder" to a regional powerhouse.
The Chronicle Style. This isn't your typical hyper-focused cultivation novel. It reads more like a historical chronicle of a sect’s rise. The author strips away the "frill" and "filler"—character development often takes a backseat to the functional progression of the sect itself. If you enjoy wide-lens world-building and strategic expansion over intense individual emotional arcs, this "dry pancake" style might actually be exactly what you're looking for.
Practicality Over Pride. Meng Zhang is a refreshingly practical protagonist. He isn't a "face-slapper" who offends every Young Master he meets. He calculates consequences, handles tedious sect duties, and utilizes time skips (the first one is a fan-favorite) to show the long-term impact of his leadership.

4452 Chapters (Ongoing). A massive epic for those who want to see a sect grow across centuries, navigating a world where allies are just as dangerous as enemies.
Ch. 1–500 (The Desert Struggle): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Sect Building 101. The strongest part of the novel for management fans. Watching the Taiyi Sect scrape together resources in a remote desert is genuinely engaging and high-stakes.
Ch. 501–2000 (The Regional Rise): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Expanding Horizons. Meng Zhang begins to gain momentum. The introduction of divination elements adds flavor, but the author carefully limits it so it never feels like an "I-win" button.
Ch. 2001–Present (The High-Tier Void): ⭐⭐⭐ – The Loop of Power. As with many 4,000+ chapter novels, some readers find the later arcs fall into a "talented but not qualified" trope, where the MC continues to bow to prestigious sects despite his own significant power.
