[No System + Mortal Cultivation + High-IQ Protagonist]
[Slow burn. If you’re impatient, start at Chapter 7; he starts rising to prominence in Chapter 10.]
In this world, old monsters never die, and newcomers never get their chance to shine. There are seventy-two seats in the Mahayana Realm, nine in the Tribulation Realm, and one in the True Immortal Realm. Cultivation isn’t about training; it’s about fighting for a seat. Lin Qing only wanted to be a farmer, until the Wang family of the capital tried to kill him, the city lord tried to sell him, and the great clans pushed him forward as a scapegoat. Lin Qing: “Since you won’t let me live quietly as an ordinary man, I don’t mind flipping the table first, then taking my time choosing a seat.”
Valley Master of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley: “He’s a deity reincarnated. What are you worried about?”
Heavenly Demon Emperor: “If I’d known he was coming, I wouldn’t have come.”
Very nice looking, grand layout
