I Just Want to Sleep, Yet I’m Forced to Teach an Emperor

Shen Mian wants nothing more than to sleep atop Wangyou Peak until the end of time. Born alongside the Dao, he possesses the supreme power to be “forgotten by the world.” Even a Great Emperor who came in person would see him as nothing more than an ordinary mortal. When the sect is shrouded in gloom as a powerful enemy bears down, he is simply annoyed that the alarm bell outside the mountain gate is too loud and has interrupted his afternoon nap. He thinks he can keep being forgotten, until the sect presents him with an ancient agreement from countless ages ago: they beg their founding patriarch to emerge from seclusion and take on a disciple! Left with no choice, Shen Mian casually points to a girl the entire sect considers a good-for-nothing. Annoyed by the dust in the library, he teaches her to sweep. The girl takes up her broom and sweeps away the demonic prodigy who came to provoke them, along with the sect elders behind him. Bothered by the useless pills cluttering the alchemy room, he tells her to use them as kindling. The girl purifies them with the true fire of the phoenix, turning a furnace of duds into peerless divine pills that summon heavenly phenomena. Looking at his disciple, who is about to become invincible without even trying, and his sect, which has somehow become the greatest sacred land, Shen Mian hugs the “Primordial Chaos Stone” he just swept out of a corner of the library and falls into thought: I only taught her to sweep. How did she end up on the verge of sweeping away the whole world?
