Lu Li has never had any grand ambitions.
If he can lie down, he won't sit. If he can drink, he won't practice swordsmanship. When it comes to sect examinations, all he wants is to place second from last, precisely. Other people cultivate immortality to seek eternal life and the Dao. He joined the Qingxuan Sword Sect only because the sect provides meals and even serves alcohol.
Everyone thinks this devastatingly handsome direct disciple is just a lazy good-for-nothing who got in through connections.
That is, until a prodigy from the Taixu Sword Pavilion comes to challenge the sect, and Qingxuan's younger generation is defeated one after another.
With the sect's reputation in tatters, Lu Li picks up his shattered wine jar and takes up his rusty, chipped iron sword. The only reason he swings is that his opponent hurt a fellow disciple and spilled his wine.
That day, nine sword phantoms shatter at once, a high-grade spirit sword breaks into pieces, and a hundred miles of clouds are cleaved in two.
Only then does everyone realize
It isn't that he can't cultivate.
He just thinks it's too much trouble.
Yet as the endless Sword Grave enters his dreams, the iron sword's heartbeat becomes audible, and a cold giant eye opens in the depths of the sky, a history deliberately erased by the Immortal Realm gradually comes to light.
Why did the sword path suddenly decline ten thousand years ago?
Who are Lu Li's parents, really?
Why does the Immortal Realm, said to be the ultimate destination of cultivators, fear a young man from the mortal world so much?
When the decaying Immortal Court issues its decree, and the Immortal Emperors of the heavens treat all living beings as fuel to sustain order, the boy who only wanted to drink and bask in the sun finally takes up his sword.
Lu Li sighs.
“What a hassle.”
“If this world has no sense of justice, then I'll find another one.”
This is the story of an unrivaled Sword Immortal who only wants to lie flat, but is forced to hack his way from the back hills of the Sword Sect to the summit of the Immortal Realm.
At the peak of immortality, I stand proud above the world.
Where Lu Li stands, there is heaven.
