You Told Me to Cultivate Immortality, So I Turned My Dantian into a Reactor

Lin Fan, the most skilled mech operator in the galaxy, and also the most socially awkward, crashes into a brutal world of cultivation with the super AI Zero. He doesn’t even have a cultivation manual from the start, and the System immediately hands down a death sentence: “If you fail to establish your foundation within a hundred days, you will be erased!” No spiritual roots? No knowledge of meridians? No idea what it means to commune with Heaven and Man? Lin Fan pushes up a pair of imaginary black-rimmed glasses and gives a cold order: “Zero, forget that outdated superstition. Use physics.” “What people call spiritual energy is just high-dimensional, highly active energy particles. Cultivation techniques? They’re nothing but an extremely inefficient method of inducing biological magnetic fields!” And just like that, the entire cultivation world goes off the rails. While others painstakingly cultivate their meridians, Lin Fan forcibly carves “superconducting energy-gathering circuits” into his flesh. While others sink their qi into their dantian, Lin Fan rebuilds his into a “modular Dyson sphere reactor.” While others cautiously purify spiritual energy, Lin Fan activates [Excess Absorption], draining an entire spirit vein by force like a black hole! ...A hundred days later, a Golden Core Ancestor emerges from seclusion, intent on refining every rogue cultivator in the town into blood pills. Ten thousand swords fill the sky, and his oppressive might is terrifying. Amid the crowd, the handsome young man who normally blushes even when speaking to a female cultivator quietly releases the energy limiters within his body. In an instant, azure spiritual energy surges upward, forming the phantom of a hundred-meter-tall heavy mech. The spiritual-energy Gatling guns on its shoulders spin up furiously, locking onto the swords filling the sky. “Ancestor, times have changed.” “In this world, insufficient firepower is the original sin. Caliber... is the only truth!”
