A Lifetime of Playing It Safe

Everyone else cultivates, fights over opportunities, ventures into secret realms, challenges heaven and earth, and kills without pause. Everyone wants to claim the throne of the Great Dao.

My dream is simple: find some remote, deserted corner, cut myself off from the world, lie low in peace, and stay far away from every conflict.

I don't compete for treasures or fight with spells. When a secret realm opens, I take the long way around. When powerful cultivators clash, I keep my distance.

But then something absurd happens: the more I lie low, the stronger I get.

A nap in seclusion lets me comprehend the Great Dao. I pick up rare treasures without even trying. I dodge a disaster and end up with an ancient inheritance.

I do everything I can to hide my abilities and keep my aura in check. I just want to be a background character.

But fate has other plans. Calamities and conflicts always find me with uncanny precision. Forced to step in time and again, I, a cultivator who only wanted to hide away, somehow end up thrust onto the turbulent stage, becoming the center of everyone's attention.
