(Genius + Sword Cultivator + Ensemble Cast) You only need to read the parts without numbers. Episodic story. At the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, a million years passed. Mortal dynasties rose and fell tens of thousands of times, and the plants of the mountains and fields withered and flourished countless times over. The mortals who had once known him had long since turned to dust, and even the mountain spirits had gone through several generations. Only Ling Cang remained, still leaning on his cane as he felt his way through the mountains day after day, never slacking off for a moment. Some laughed at him for being senile, still dreaming of cultivating immortality at his age. Others urged him to give up, saying that mortals cultivating immortality was already defying the heavens, and that someone as utterly lacking in talent as him was deluding himself. But Ling Cang never paid them any mind. He carried on as he pleased, meditating to absorb spiritual energy whenever he couldn't sleep and tinkering with cultivation techniques whenever he was awake, living freely and stubbornly.
