A Carefree Journey

Blurb: As he drifted from Yunlou Palace to Zixiao Palace, Li Zhaoming found himself a little bored. Back in the day, he was a prodigy of Sword Tang. He'd fought three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, plucked the phoenix's feathers, and pulled out the ancestral dragon's tendons. He'd danced in Zixiao Palace and fished for kun in the heavens beyond the heavens. He'd talked the Shangqing Celestial Venerable into running away from home, tried to steal the Demon Emperor's ten fluffy three-legged crows, and, when that failed, went off to kidnap the Witch Clan's crown prince and roam the world with him. Life was just that exciting. So here's the question: With a list of achievements like mine, why am I so bored that all I can do is watch my friends work? And so Li Zhaoming grabbed his sword, jumped from the summit of the ninth heaven, and ran off. Heaven's will has always been hard to fathom. Mortals seek immortality and the Dao, never knowing that immortals, looking back at the mortal world, have sometimes felt envy too. Fortunately, the Zixiao Cloud Palace has never felt like a foreign land to him. With a single thought, he turned back and returned to the mortal world. Reading Guide↓ * The second book in The Lost Sword Returns to Tang, a carefree journey across the Myriad Worlds. * The protagonist used to be a happy sword cultivator, roaming the prehistoric world with his rowdy friends. But the Heavenly Dao was total garbage, always trying to screw him over. After putting up with it countless times, he finally fought back, and they parted ways, both happy. * It's a story about a max-level character getting stuck by the GM, so he starts over from scratch with a new account. The worlds include crossovers of martial arts, mythology, and cultivation, and maybe even space. Basically, all the settings are made up by me, and the protagonist is the strongest, no explanation needed. ### [A heads-up] The Journey to the West arc has a supporting-character danmei plotline. Please don't read if that bothers you. Pre-release: All Beings' Sunset Pass: Blurb: Long ago, the laws of the Great Dao created a special world. It hung alone in the vast sea of stars, beyond the Myriad Worlds. Only a handful of people in the Space-Time Administration knew that it was an otherworldly refuge made to shelter those with nowhere else to go The Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens, who came from the west with a sword, only to lose at the Forbidden City; The thousand-faced young master, clever enough to outwit everyone, who mistook a sham for true love; The True Lord of Clear Origin and Wondrous Dao, the sole survivor of an apocalyptic catastrophe; The Twelve Beauties, whose countless sorrows brought their floral souls together to return to the Sky of Sorrow; A king who hated humanity, yet went willingly to his death for his people; A wandering samurai who followed in his king's footsteps and became a thousand winds; Children of destiny from across the Myriad Worlds gathered here. Beneath the world's peaceful appearance, sinister currents swirled everywhere. The world administrator despairingly puts on a mask: Somebody, please! Can anyone do something about this? Faced with a world where gods, demons, monsters, and ghosts were everywhere, and strange spirits prowled every corner, Dai Xinglan, forced to work overtime while dragging his whole family along, says: "Heh, it's no big deal." And so The Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens is assigned to the local police station as an outside consultant; The thousand-faced young master transforms into a trending young star; The Twelve Beauties open a teahouse, where the Concubine of Xiaoxiang writes exquisite poems that earn acclaim from all; The willful king holds a cross-dimensional tablet and gleefully causes trouble for his alternate self; The wandering samurai draws his world as a manga and swaggers around with merchandise of the protagonist, his younger brother; And the dazed True Lord revisits an old haunt and runs into a boy sucking on a lollipop. "...Nezha?" After the mission, the Space-Time Administration conducts its usual interviews with those involved. Dai Xinglan: "I told you it was no big deal. Trust me." Marshal of the Central Altar, who came to help: "I don't want to go on another field assignment anytime soon, thanks." Happy unemployed Li Someone: "That was fun. I'll come again next time." Theme: A cup of wine in the spring breeze, ten years of lamplight in the rainy nights of the martial world
