“For this year’s Immortal Alliance tournament, we’re judging looks, not skill. The good-looking advance automatically. The ugly ones can go home!”
When Ye Xiu transmigrates into the cultivation world, he thinks he’ll be able to fly through the skies, burrow through the earth, and roam the world at will.
Then he discovers... this damn cultivation world is all about looks!
“Senior Brother, why is your Foundation Establishment Pill ten times bigger than mine?”
“Because I’m handsome. The sect rules say that disciples with top-tier looks get double the resources.”
“Master, why can she enter the inner sect when she’s clearly weaker than me?”
“Look at that face. It fits the Heavenly Dao’s idea of beauty perfectly! With your plain looks, you’re fit to do nothing but sweep the outer sect.”
The entire cultivation world lives by the “Looks Law.” In ancient times, an Immortal Emperor discovered that one’s compatibility with the Heavenly Dao was linked to the appearance of one’s soul. From then on, the great sects went crazy for beautiful cultivators.
Alchemists don’t make breakthrough pills; they specialize in beauty pills.
Artifact refiners don’t make divine weapons; they specialize in beauty mirrors.
“What the hell is this? Cultivation? This is a beauty pageant!”
Ye Xiu is dumbfounded. With his plain-looking soul, the sect declares him “rejected by the Heavenly Dao,” and even his cultivation partner is stolen by a “beauty emperor’s son.”
At the brink of despair, the [Daily Cultivation Progress Settlement System] activates!
“Today, you swept the floor. Rating: [Mediocre]. Reward: 1 Body-Tempering Pill.”
“Today, you stood up to a looks-obsessed jerk. Rating: [Beginning to Master the Dao]. Reward: Breath-Concealment Technique!”
“Today, you slew a demon beast and rescued your fellow disciple. Rating: [Defying Fate]. Reward: [Immaculate Sword Bone]!”
While the whole world is putting on face masks and getting beauty treatments, Ye Han cultivates like crazy. When the Immortal Sect tournament turns into a beauty pageant, he splits the heavens with a single sword!
“Sorry, but in the face of absolute strength, looks are worthless!”
