Even the Divine Emperor Knelt, Yet I Used Chemistry to Cultivate

In his previous life, Ling Yun was a chemical engineer. After staying up all night doing experiments, he died suddenly and transmigrated into the cultivation world as a Qi Refining-stage good-for-nothing hated by everyone.

The good news: He bound himself to a cultivation System and comes with an invincible domain.

The bad news: The System's mission is to make him establish a sect, and it has to be the number one sect in the cultivation world.

Ling Yun thought it over. Number one it is. I've got chemistry and physics up my sleeve, so what's there to fear?

The sect got built, but the disciples he recruited grew stranger and stranger.

His eldest disciple, Xie Yun Qi, is gentle and refined, yet somehow radiates the aura of a mountain of corpses when chopping wood.

His second disciple, Jiang Xiao Tang, is a seven-year-old girl who burns the true solar flame in her alchemy furnace.

His third disciple, Shang Shi Xu, is a stingy pauper who can spend all morning haggling over a single cabbage.

His fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth disciples are all even better at putting on an act than the last.

Among them are a demon emperor who herds sheep, a retired Heavenly Dao who dozes off, a former ruler of the underworld who gets drunk on Granny Meng's soup, and a failed examinee whose writing can alter people's fates.

Then along comes a little junior sister who smiles at everyone and desperately tries to be kind to them all. Ling Yun takes a look and says nothing.

Because he knows this girl is a dream created by the Dao Ancestor, and she could wake up at any moment.

Outsiders all say, "The sect master of the Great Dao Sect is only at the second level of Qi Refining, and he's got a bunch of oddballs with him. What kind of waves can they possibly make?"

Ling Yun just smiles, pulls out an electrolytic cell, a lightning rod, and a Faraday cage, then turns heavenly tribulations into a free power supply for the sect.

This is a story about overturning the cultivation world with chemistry beakers and teaching gods and demons a lesson with the laws of physics.

It's also a story about a group of people burdened by the past coming together and becoming one another's future.
