Absurd! The More I Actively Seek Death, the Longer I Live

In the world of cultivation, everyone believes that the Way of Caution comes first. Cultivators hide in secret realms, avoid powerful enemies, and quietly develop in a corner, hoping to steadily make it to a higher realm. But Hua Chen was born with a frail constitution and has only three days left to live from the start. Ordinary cultivation would mean certain death, but he unexpectedly unlocks a fate-defying rule: the more he courts death, the longer he lives; the crazier he gets, the more invincible he becomes!

While others steer clear of deadly zones in secret realms, he charges straight into the heart of them to take on demonic beasts. While others bow and scrape before elders, he picks fights with them to snatch opportunities. On the brink of death, he unlocks a bad-luck buff and turns the tables on his enemies. While others lie flat and cling to life, he insists on courting death: if he ever lies flat, his cultivation realm drops and his lifespan plummets.

From expendable sect member to powerhouse of the Immortal Domain, Hua Chen levels up by courting death at every turn. He provokes the overlords of the Immortal Domain, takes heavenly punishment head-on, and deliberately stacks ninety-nine bolts of tribulation lightning during his tribulation, forcing Heaven itself to yield. The villains who follow the Way of Caution hide in the most remote corners, yet still get dragged into his trouble. In the end, they die of old age after shrinking from a fight.

Guided by the belief that there is no immortality without courting death, Hua Chen goes from a frail cultivator with three days to live to the Fate-Defying Ancestor who commands the heavens, living for countless eons and becoming the most outrageous legend in the cultivation world.
