Laughing at the Mortal World

[Technological Cultivation + Wits-and-Survival + Lighthearted Comedy (Early) + Ruthless Combat (Later) + No Harem]

Yun Xiao, a shirking disciple of the Returning Cloud Sect, has only ever dreamed of lying flat, keeping his head down until the end of time, and enjoying the few hundred leisurely years of Foundation Establishment. But even a lazy fish can have fate come knocking!

A [core data fragment], also known as the “Heaven's Mandate Stone,” crashes into him by accident. It holds the secrets behind the fall of the lost [interstellar Cultivation civilization] known as the “Ancient Immortal Dynasty,” the key to the path of ascension, and even [psionic technology] powerful enough to overturn an era!

Overnight, he goes from a good-for-nothing disciple no one has ever noticed to the eye of a storm capable of bringing down the Great Xuan Dynasty!

“Warning! The orthodox sect leader [Qingcheng Sword Sect] has named you its number-one target. Beneath Sect Leader Yue Qingyuan's hypocritical mask lies bottomless greed!”

“Danger! The deadly assassins of [Blood Shadow Tower] have placed the highest bounty on you. Shadow killers are already watching from the dark!”

“Alert! The imperial government's attack dogs at [Black Mirror Bureau] have laid a vast net and will stop at nothing to seize the inheritance from beyond the sea of stars!”

His dream of lying flat is shattered! To survive and protect the only people at his side, his simple-minded junior brother Shitou and his cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside senior sister Leng Yue, Yun Xiao is forced to take flight for his life!

He puts on a carefree front and relies on outrageous luck and a bellyful of underhanded tricks to navigate a perilous world where flying swords coexist with mechs and magic intertwines with code, outsmarting everyone under the heavens.
