I Survived the Apocalypse and Became an Immortal

Everyone else sees him as a good-for-nothing archive clerk at the third layer of Qi Refining.

No one knows his true cultivation is at the ninth layer of Qi Refining.

Li Cang is the most unremarkable administrator at Cangwu Vocational Academy, with a mixed Five-Element spirit root, known throughout the cultivation world as a “false spirit root.”

But he has three things in his head:

A System panel that only he can see. An ancient cultivation technique that can only be used after he dissipates his cultivation and starts over. And memories from a past life in another world: he was a secret agent then, and all he wants in this life is to keep a low profile.

Keeping a low profile takes resources, too. He dissipates all his cultivation and climbs back up from the first layer of Qi Refining. Each time he starts over, his spirit root becomes purer. By day, he’s a taciturn clerk in the archives. By night, he puts on a different face and works as a mercenary no one recognizes.

The spiritual tide descended three hundred years ago. Seventy percent of the population died or mutated, and civilization collapsed overnight. A great tide comes once every hundred years, and the third is now drawing near.

There are undercurrents at the academy, ferocious beasts beyond the outpost, and a shocking secret hidden deep in the spiritual leyline, one that reaches across star regions.

Cultivation in the apocalypse. Immortality through keeping a low profile.

This isn’t a genius’s rise to greatness. It’s an intelligence officer’s meticulous calculations.
