[Not a power fantasy, slice of life, playing it safe, hiding one's strength, goofy humor, no female lead] Chen Fan transmigrates to the world of immortal cultivation, only to be framed by his fellow disciples. His spiritual root is destroyed, his cultivation wiped out, and he is reduced to a dying mine slave in a deathly spirit mine! At the brink of death, he awakens the [Immortality System] and gains an undying, indestructible body. The price? He is permanently stuck at the first layer of Qi Refining! He also gets a half-spirit beast that’s useless at everything: Old Horse.
Invincible? Fighting for supremacy? No, that’s too dangerous. Chen Fan has figured it out: staying alive beats fighting and killing! If he outlives all his enemies, he wins! All he wants is to see the world’s splendor with Old Horse, secretly save up money, and occasionally play the fool to catch a tiger off guard.
And so, two strange legends arise in the cultivation world: a suspicious, money-grubbing, prideful cultivator who will forever remain at the first layer of Qi Refining, and a slow old horse.
As his enemies turn to dust and sects crumble into ashes, Chen Fan leads Old Horse leisurely through the ages. He practices alchemy and artifact forging, and even creates his own Five Elements cultivation techniques, difficult to advance but peerlessly powerful. Before he knows it, he and Old Horse have both become Dao Ancestors working behind the scenes.
Until the Great Dao withers and the Immortal Realm collapses. As all things perish, a voice resounds throughout the cosmos: “Heaven and earth are not benevolent; they treat all things as straw dogs…”
“And I am everywhere.”
