[Misunderstandings Galore + Ensemble Comedy + Imaginative Cultivation + Invincible Protagonist]
After transmigrating into a sloth that can take human form, Ji Xu just wants to find somewhere to sleep in peace in this cultivation world where everyone works themselves to the bone.
But because he moves so slowly, his life takes an unexpected turn...
Other people draw their swords as fast as lightning. He gets halfway through unsheathing his before falling asleep from exhaustion.
The Heavenly Dao declares it “Higher-Dimensional Stasis,” turning every enemy attack into slow motion. His “Sleep-Dream Swordplay” frightens his opponents into dropping to their knees!
Other people race against time to cultivate. It takes him two hours just to roll over.
The whole sect is shaken: “The Supreme Elder is turning himself into a millstone to grind the Great Way of the Void to dust! I understand now!”
Other people pay close attention to the heat when refining pills. He takes so long to put in the ingredients that it’s ridiculous.
The result is a divine pill: “Is this the legendary Delayed-Action Explosive Pill? It detonates three days after you eat it? The perfect weapon for catching someone off guard!”
And so Ji Xu, who only wants to lie flat, somehow becomes the cultivation world’s most mysterious “Sword Immortal of Time.”
He’s also followed by a bunch of disciples who overthink everything:
First disciple, Lightning Rabbit: Imitates his master’s twitches every day and masters the “Vibrating Divine Art.”
Second disciple, the arrogant sword fanatic: Convinced that his master’s “slowness” is a law of time, he draws his sword for what feels like an eternity.
Ji Xu: “I really just wanted to roll over... Can you stop kneeling? I want to help you up, but I can’t bend down!”
All the disciples: “Master, there’s no need to say more! Every move you make is an expression of the Great Way!”
Also known as: The Dreaded Slow Motion, How I Wanted to Sleep but Was Forced to Become a Sword Saint, My Disciples Are All Masters of Overthinking.
