The Canny King, Sword Venerable

What Should I Do When the Survival King Sword Sovereign System Is So Embarrassing?

I transmigrated into the cultivation world as a good-for-nothing sword cultivator and awakened the [Survival King Sword Sovereign System].

The System said I could get stronger by keeping my head down, and I believed it.

But this lousy System has a public announcement feature: every time I break through, cultivators across the entire continent hear a notification.

The worst part is that every announcement reveals one of my humiliating past incidents.

“Congratulations, Host, on breaking through to Foundation Establishment! A friendly reminder: three days ago, the Host got diarrhea for an entire day after sneaking your senior sister’s spirit fruit. We recommend a light diet before cultivation.”

“Congratulations, Host, on breaking through to the Golden Core stage! The System has detected that the Host nearly suffered cultivation deviation last night after seeing a pair of long legs. Here is a Heart-Cleansing Pill to help you regain your composure.”

“Congratulations, Host, on breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage! The Host’s embarrassing-history archive has reached one hundred thousand words. The System has automatically turned it into the serialized novel The Survival King’s Diary, now topping the continent-wide bestseller list.”

I was mortified, but I also became invincible.

Because every time the System mortified me, it rewarded me with an unrivaled divine sword.

Cultivators across the continent were all following my embarrassing exploits, but not one of them could beat me.

They'd finish laughing, and my sword would already be there.

I kept my head down to the very end. I became everyone’s punchline, and everyone’s nightmare.

I’m Ye Gou, a sword sovereign whose System has me looking for a hole to crawl into every day, even as I grow stronger and stronger.
