[Urban Cultivation] [Modern Cultivation] [Treasure-Hunting Adventure] [Surviving with a Remnant Soul] [Comedic Contrast] [Immortals and Mortals Together]
Huang Cen had no roots, a mountain man in the Southern Song.
As a boy, luck was his friend. Deep in the mountains, he met an immortal.
He fought tigers in the mountains and wolves along the frontier.
He served as a general in the army and was hailed as a king in the martial world.
He roamed carefree for centuries, all the way to the end of the Ming.
Then he ran into his old nemesis and lost everything in a magical duel.
Lightning struck him during tribulation, crippling his cultivation.
His immortal foundation was shattered, and he was left with barely a trace of his powers.
Just then, Qing troops invaded, and flames of war spread in every direction.
He wanted to protect the land, but lacked the strength to fight on the battlefield.
All he could do was hide his abilities and lie low to avoid disaster.
Dynasties rose and fell, and the world changed beyond recognition.
In the blink of an eye, he was in the modern age, and the world had completely changed.
Skyscrapers pierced the clouds, and subways rushed back and forth.
People never let go of their phones, and takeout filled their bellies.
Once a peerless hero, he now just lies flat.
His cultivation is hard to restore, but even while doing nothing, he remains dashing.
After living for eight hundred years, he laughs and watches it all pass like a dream.
Who could have guessed that a cucumber would be the start of an immortal destiny?
