Synopsis

[Lighthearted Daily Life + Ultimate Survivor + No Heroine + Sneaky Operator + Building a Sneaky Faction]

Jing Sheng transmigrates into this fantasy world and becomes an odd-job disciple of the Canglan Sect.

He also discovers that the strong prey on the weak in this world, and one careless mistake can leave your body and soul destroyed.

Fortunately, he awakens the [Survival System]. Every time he avoids a disaster, he receives a System reward.

To live forever, Jing Sheng decides to cultivate in silence and keep his head down in the Canglan Sect, his new-player village, until the end of time.

And so, an ultimate survivor takes the world by storm.

[You declined an elder’s offer to take you as a disciple and avoided a deadly calamity. Survival reward: Breath Concealment Art.]

[You declined your fellow disciple’s invitation to go on an expedition and avoided a demonic beast rampage. Survival reward: 100 bottles of top-grade Body Tempering Pills.]

[You successfully broke through to the next realm and avoided the risk of a failed breakthrough. Survival reward: Fire Dragon Chant spell.]

[You killed an enemy and avoided a disaster. Survival reward: Great Destiny Art.]

Ultimate techniques, divine powers, secret treasures, immortal artifacts: if you can avoid disaster, you can get it all.

Ten thousand years pass, and the seas turn into mulberry fields.

Countless top powers rise and fall, but the Canglan Sect stands firm for ten thousand years.

At last, the myriad races descend, and humanity faces an apocalyptic calamity.

Jing Sheng, who has kept his head down for ten thousand years, has no choice but to act.

But only when he does does he realize that he seems to have become invincible.

[Ding! You took action and wiped out the myriad races, successfully avoiding the apocalyptic calamity. Reward…]

This book is also known as "Top-Tier Talent from the Start: Quietly Cultivating for Ten Thousand Years", "Great, This Cautious Daoist Has Survived Another Disaster"

"You’re Already Invincible, So Why Are You Still Keeping Your Head Down?", "It’s One Thing for You to Keep Your Head Down, but Why Make Everyone Else Do It Too?"

The blurb doesn’t do it justice. If you don’t get it, read the main story.

[Learned] Still no female lead, please don't click if you don't like stories with a female protagonist. It's elegant but not stifling [I've learned something new]

Well written, maintaining the absence of a female lead and ambiguous relationships. Keep it up!!! Five-star review. Why are all the female characters so talented? There has to be a male one! Qin Shuangyan is an empress reincarnated, so hurry up and give us a reincarnated emperor! At least he shouldn't be any less talented than Qin Shuangyan!

It's really good, quite nice! As a 15-year veteran reader, I found this book very readable. It's a real shame that this isn't the final installment. It's a complete failure, I'm so incredibly disappointed.

The plot of this book was a real eye-opener for me. I really enjoyed the author's writing style, the protagonist's personality, and his insights into the philosophy of life! I was originally planning to give it four stars, since the ending felt a bit rushed and weak. But maybe it's because I'm used to it, it doesn't affect my liking for the author's novel ❤️.

It's not bad. The protagonist follows a survival-oriented path and passes it on to his friends 🤦, a bunch of lazy bums! No romance, no ambiguity, just a system—a simple panel with no anthropomorphic behavior. Every time the protagonist thinks he can relax a little, a new enemy appears, and he's worried, so he rushes back to training 😂, which is quite funny.

Holy crap, I'm done for! I didn't even realize what was happening when I finished reading. I was still wondering how the author would continue the story, even after I got to the part about ten thousand years later—it was like a password! Then I turned the page and it was the end! I even thought the author was just kidding, but it really is finished! Holy crap, I can't take it anymore! 😄😄

Avoiding danger 😂😂 It's actually eliminating danger, but is danger that the protagonist can eliminate still considered dangerous?
