The protagonist, Mu Yuanxiu, transmigrates to the cultivation world and becomes a max-level expert. He is reborn back to his first life when he was just starting university. He thought he would return to an ordinary life, but unexpectedly joins a cultivation group and learns that there are cultivators on Earth as well… The second book is a male-centric novel, no female lead and no romantic pairing.

Have you ever seen someone who was just weak and coughing up blood suddenly be able to annihilate a ninth-tier beast with a wave of their hand?
