Everyone in the sect bitterly cultivates, fighting for a place among the immortals and pushing themselves until heaven and earth grow dim. Only Su Ji keeps his head down, slacks off, and tries to stay alive.
While others fight over secret realms, seize spiritual roots, and gamble everything for opportunities to advance on the Great Dao, he hides in caves, stashes treasures, and avoids every conflict.
He couldn't care less about becoming an immortal revered for all eternity or winning a glorious name through the ages.
His only wish in this life is to stay by the girl at his side, quietly and safely make it to the end, and be together with her for all their days.
But though the tree longs for peace, the wind will not let up.
A cataclysmic immortal tribulation sweeps across the Three Realms. Old enemies hunt him down, the Heavenly Dao forces him to ascend, and mighty figures from all corners demand that he emerge from hiding. The woman he loves repeatedly finds herself in danger.
With no other choice, Su Xian is forced to reveal his hidden trump cards.
He crushes ancient demons with a casual wave and drives back the supreme rulers of the Immortal Realm with a laugh. It all seems effortless, but he only wants to clear away the trouble and return to a quiet life by his beloved's side.
The Myriad Worlds all believe he is determined to reach the pinnacle of the immortal path. Only he is filled with helpless resignation:
Stop trying to make me an immortal. I just want to keep a low profile, stay by her side year after year, and live peacefully into old age.
