The Big Shot Joins the Sect as a Disciple

Shen An, Lord of All Worlds, had grown tired of life.

The war between gods and demons was over, and both the immortal and demonic factions had submitted to him. Every day, people either came to pay their respects or begged him to step in. How tiresome. He decided to retire, find some dirt-poor little sect on Flowing Cloud Continent, and become a disciple. He wanted to see what it felt like to be ordered around.

Cangwu Sect was the poorest of the poor. The sect leader was only at the early Golden Core stage, the disciples were at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, and they didn't even have a decent spirit beast. Shen An was pleased. He squatted in the courtyard chopping wood, fishing, and sipping rice porridge. Life couldn't be more comfortable.

But he hadn't expected this shabby little sect to be more interesting than he'd imagined.

The Luofeng Sect came to seize their territory and left with their tails between their legs. The Black Blade Sect came seeking revenge, only for their mountain gate to be razed to the ground. The Shadow Tower came to kill, then vanished from the cultivation world overnight. Rumors spread that a powerful expert stood behind Cangwu Sect, and that no one should provoke them.

Sect Leader Chen held his teacup and watched Shen An chopping wood in the courtyard, silent for a long time. Second Senior Sister Lin Qing gripped her Frostmark Sword, always feeling there was something odd about this junior brother. Eight-year-old Liu Xiaowan crouched by the fishpond with a jar of fish food and asked in her childish voice, “Senior Brother Shen, are you really strong?”

The axe in Shen An's hands paused. “Not strong.”

“Then why aren't you afraid of anything?”

Shen An thought for a moment. “Being afraid wouldn't help.”

This is the story of an invincible powerhouse pretending to be a beginner, raising fish and chopping wood in a shabby little sect, and casually turning the entire cultivation world upside down. There's everyday life filled with cooking and chores, me clearing obstacles for the sect, and a group of people who treat one another like family.

Cangwu Sect may be small, but I'll help it grow into something great.
