   Reader note

   A Nascent Soul cultivator disguised as a neighborhood security guard finds enlightenment amidst the mundane world – this contrasting setting is incredibly satisfying! Li Qingfeng appears ordinary, but his daily routine of mediating neighborhood disputes and catching thieves is filled with moments of effortless skill, effortlessly breaking formations and defeating enemies with a flick of his finger – a classic example of playing dumb to outwit his opponent. The novel cleverly blends urban life with the undercurrents of cultivation, featuring vivid and lively supporting characters and a layered foreshadowing system. It offers both humorous and relatable daily interactions and a grander scope encompassing the resurgence of spiritual energy and crises in other worlds. The clash between the patriarch's transcendent mindset and ordinary life perfectly embodies the profound wisdom of "great seclusion in the city," making it an irresistible urban cultivation masterpiece.
