A Corporate Drone's Immortal Cultivation: 996 Turns the Heavens Upside Down

In his previous life, Lin Chen worked himself to the bone in a 996 job until he was riddled with health problems, yet had nothing to show for it. After transmigrating to the cultivation world, he discovered that this place was not only dangerous, but even more cutthroat than the workplace he'd left behind!

Outer sect disciples are basically “temps.” They get two spirit stones and still have to put up with the manager's attitude. Inner sect disciples are just “full-time employees”; to get resources, they have to grind themselves into the ground for contribution-point KPIs, and if they fail the annual assessment, they get demoted. The sect monopolizes cultivation resources, and even “breaking through a realm” depends on the Heavenly Dao “sorting the cattle from the sheep.” Otherwise, a single tribulation lightning strike will reduce you to ashes, without even giving you the chance to quit. So the whole cultivation world is full of tools for other people to use?

His Golden Core father is injured, the inner sect tournament is just around the corner, and there's no way to lie low. Lin Chen activates the mysterious art Reversing the Heavenly Order. “I spent my whole previous life as a corporate wage slave. In this life, whoever wants to be cattle can go ahead! Don't talk to me about the Heavenly Dao's rules. Even the gods can't stop me from flipping the table!”

When the sect holds its recruitment drive, Lin Chen puts up a wooden sign: “Teacher Lin's Civil Service Exam Prep Classes now open! Ten low-grade spirit stones for tips on the written and oral exams; one hundred, and I'll guarantee you pass the sect's selection and enter the outer sect.” The whole point is to use his experience as a wage slave to fight back against the rat race!
