Synopsis

[Misunderstandings + Comedy + Management + Political Intrigue in the Mid-to-Late Story + An Ancestor Who Never Gains a Cultivation Level!] Riding around in a wheelchair, tossing C4! Disciples of the Remnant Cloud Sect, charge with me!

“Master, the sect disciples’ cultivation has stagnated!”

“What did the ancestor say? Foot massage is a path too, and bathhouse kings are kings too. Just relax, OK~”

“Master! Senior Sister made a Rejuvenation Pill! We’re going to turn into the Joyous Union Sect~”

“Quick, invite the ancestor out of seclusion!”

Lin Xuan, an online novelist, transmigrates into the body of a sect’s founding ancestor.

Fortunately, every time the System evolves, he gets younger.

And so:

In Volume One, he’s an old ancestor, staying alive by pretending to be an expert.

In Volume Two, he’s a middle-aged ancestor, leaning on the wall to get around every day.

In Volume Three, he’s a young ancestor, bringing heavenly punishment to storm forbidden grounds and cross mountain gates.

In Volume Four, he’s a five-year-old ancestor, giving orders to a million immortal soldiers in a babyish voice.

In Volume Five, he’s an infant ancestor, and he actually trades blows with the Heavenly Dao one for one.

His enemies think he’s only on the first level, while his disciples think he’s up in the stratosphere.

Only Lin Xuan knows the truth:

I really don’t know how to cultivate immortality!

Don’t blow my cover. I’m just here to make a guest appearance as an ancient ancestor.
