In the future Wasteland, technology has collapsed and spiritual qi has revived. Cultivation through code, immortal cultivation in mechs, data-driven spiritual roots, and weathering tribulation by enduring electromagnetic lightning storms.
Chu Xiaodao is an unaffiliated cultivator on the black market, scraping by with knockoff cultivation techniques. He's short on money, stuck with bad food, and stalled at the third level of Qi Refining.
Then he comes across an antique phone containing the long-lost Scripture of the Ridiculous. Its fire spell comes with absurd sound effects, turning every cast into a comedy routine.
His livestreams of immortal cultivation set the spirit net ablaze: sword cultivators ride bicycles, and talismans get scanned with QR codes. He breaks through obstacles with humor, using laughter to breach the Heavenly Dao's firewall.
Being ridiculous isn't a weakness, but a new path to immortal cultivation. The whole internet erupts in celebration, and he launches into a hilarious ascension. It all starts here!
