The Peerless Ancestor Comes Down the Mountain to Deliver Takeout

Lu Chenzi has been in seclusion for a thousand years, thinking he could ascend to immortality as soon as he emerged. Instead of a heavenly tribulation, he is greeted by a past-due notice from Heavenly Dao Mobile: Qingyun Sect has been behind on its spiritual energy subscription for 350 years. The bill, including interest, comes to 98 million. Pay today or the mountain will be sealed immediately.

The penniless patriarch is standing outside a service center when he receives the first flyer of his life:

“Lightning Delivery. Earn over ten thousand a month.”

And so, the cultivation world takes a sudden turn:

His life-bound flying sword becomes a phone mount for his electric scooter, and he uses spatial shrinking to make deliveries on time and avoid penalties.

He uses protective energy to keep spicy hot pot warm, while mind-reading lets him handle every bizarre customer request.

A single fasting pill sends a fried-rice vendor to the top of the food charts, and the exorcism talismans he doodles fetch sky-high prices among the wealthy.

Lu Chenzi only wants to quietly make deliveries and pay off his debt, but gradually he discovers:

A boy lying unconscious in the hospital is having his soul mysteriously drained away.

Black-clad figures come and go every night through a bronze door sealed beneath the library.

The “spiritual energy health supplements” popular among the wealthy are backed by a long-lost, forbidden soul-refining art.

And the regular who always gives him five-star reviews seems to be the key to it all...

As order alerts from the delivery app ring out alongside alarms from the sect in his sea of consciousness;

As the streets and alleys swarming with electric scooters become a battlefield between good and evil;

As a conspiracy spanning three thousand years emerges from beneath his 98-million debt...

Lu Chenzi stops his scooter and looks at the new rush order on his phone, then at the cryptic plea for help in the delivery notes.

He sighs and says to the stray dog at his feet:

“After I deliver this one, I’m charging extra.”
