Mu Yunsheng was the eldest son of the Mu family, a modern cultivation clan. He gave everything for his family and was covered in wounds and illness, nearly giving his life for one of their missions. Yet his loyal, dutiful family looked down on him, the younger clansman he'd devoted himself to teaching called him a hypocrite, and the rogue cultivator he'd once saved went around claiming he was buying people's loyalty.
In a cultivation world controlled by cultivation clans, everyone condemned him and wanted him dead. As he lay dying, his family cut out his core and made the younger clansman swallow it, then complained, "It only increased his cultivation by this much."
By sheer luck, he survived. Mu Yunsheng finally saw things clearly. Family obligations? What were those?
He left his family, cast off his responsibilities, and distanced himself from the cultivation world. He found a place to live quietly, growing flowers and tending plants each day and helping people online every now and then. His life was peaceful and carefree.

After the spiritual qi revival, knowledge and resources for cultivation remained in the hands of a handful of hereditary cultivation clans. Rogue cultivators without connections wanted to practice cultivation, but had no way to do so.
Then a newcomer appeared on the forum where they shared what they'd learned. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and precise in answering questions.
Countless cultivators struggling to break through cautiously asked questions, offering houses, money, and industry connections in exchange. To their surprise, the newcomer simply wrote a series of comprehensive guides: "Thanks for the kind offers. Let me give everyone a systematic introduction. I figured all of this out myself."
"Cultivation Begins with Cultivating the Heart [Fire]"
"Techniques Are Extensions of Thought [Fire]"
No one dared offend him on the forum, but in the private group chats they made to talk about him, their excited praise knew no bounds.
"I've never met a master so noble and generous with his knowledge! He's a true immortal descended from the heavens!!!"
.
Without Mu Yunsheng, the cultivation world gradually began to change.
The younger clansman discovered that the cultivation insights he'd worked so hard to obtain weren't as useful as a single piece of advice from Mu Yunsheng.
The rogue cultivators discovered that without Mu Yunsheng on their missions, they could only suffer oppression.
The Mu family discovered that without the spirit plants Mu Yunsheng used to grow, their family income had plummeted!
They searched frantically for Mu Yunsheng, hoping to beg him to return, but could never find him. Not until the day all the cultivation clans were dismantled and placed under the unified management of government departments.
The madman rumored to have gone berserk and destroyed every cultivation clan, the greatest expert of the era, was carefully looking after a young man.
"Yunsheng, if you don't want to see them, I'll make sure they never appear again."
The young man glanced over, then turned away, unconcerned. "They're not worth it."
I was noble by nature, above the common world.
When the wind rose, I soared straight into the heavens.
Cultivation lost · starting over · reaching the peak · dutiful and gentle shou X gone berserk · on the brink of losing control · always on the verge of snapping · daring · the greatest expert gong
