I Slack Off and Win in the World of Immortal Cultivation

I Lie Flat and Win in the World of Immortal Cultivation is a lighthearted, hilarious cultivation novel that turns the usual tropes on their head. It follows Wang Xiao'er, who takes a unique path to “lie flat and win” in a world of immortal cultivation full of competition and pressure.

Wang Xiao'er had no interest in immortal cultivation from a young age, but his father forced him to join the Qingyun Sect and train. His lazy nature clashed with the grueling life of a cultivator. Then, during a spiritual root test, a mysterious, disheveled old man revealed that Wang Xiao'er possessed the legendary “Sleep God Spiritual Root”: he could increase his cultivation by sleeping, and find opportunities in his dreams! From then on, Wang Xiao'er began his laid-back cultivation life.

While everyone else desperately meditated, refined pills, and practiced swordsmanship, Wang Xiao'er only had to find a place rich in spiritual energy, lie flat, and sleep. His cultivation would keep rising by leaps and bounds. His “slacking off” made his fellow disciples green with envy and left the sect elders both exasperated and amused. But as his cultivation improved, Wang Xiao'er began to realize that his “Sleep God Spiritual Root” might conceal a greater secret, while the conflicts and conspiracies of the cultivation world were quietly closing in on him…
