I'm Already Emperor, and You're Only Now Telling Me This Is Cultivation?

[Obscenely Wealthy] [Demoness Heroine] [Multiple Heroines] [Light Ensemble Cast] [Misunderstandings] [Invincible] [Comedy]

I rule over the vast realm of the Lan Dynasty. All I wanted was to be a lazy emperor: slack off at court, enjoy the palace gossip, and bask in an age of peace and prosperity!

But you're telling me this is actually a cultivation world?

--

Tang Yunmo is stunned.

He'd only gone out to slack off under the pretext of "searching for traces of immortals," and to get away from the empress for a while.

But this time, he really did run into an immortal?

And the immortal seems to be gravely injured?

"As they say, you judge by looks. Surely this immortal maiden must be a good person."

"And that lecherous guy definitely isn't. Let's kill him."

After that, under the attentive care of his bodyguard, the immortal maiden not only gives him two cultivation tokens, but also shares some good news:

"Both of you have spiritual roots, so you can cultivate."

Hearing this, Tang Yunmo can only sigh that, as the protagonist, he knew he could cultivate after all!

So he promptly "grabs his bucket and runs," persuades his officials to guard the palace for him, and sets off on his cultivation journey.

He'd thought he was on his way to the pinnacle of life, but then--

"What do you mean I'm an assorted spiritual root, while my bodyguard has a supreme-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root?"

"So which of us is the protagonist here? Him or me?"

Just when he thinks the absurdity is finally over--

"What do you mean the whole Great Lan started cultivating after I left?"

"What do you mean my empress is a supreme dual-cultivation prodigy?"

"What do you mean they want me to come back and be the Human Emperor?"

--

In short, things are getting strange.

Luckily, he has the [Infinite Treasury] golden finger, which lets him make money without limit!

"Give me one spirit stone and I'll move the economy of the entire cultivation world!"
