Synopsis
Before his failed ascension, Su Muqi was the greatest cultivator under heaven, a celebrated and noble immortal of the righteous path.
After his failed ascension, he became an inconspicuous disciple in an obscure sect. His greatest pleasure each day was lying on the mountaintop and watching the sunset.
He never expected that his former classmates would cross over, too.
At the sect gathering, the class monitor waved both hands and delivered an impassioned speech: "We have to defend the honor of the honors class and become the number one sect in the cultivation world!"
Su Muqi clapped without a shred of enthusiasm. "Yeah, sure, whatever you say."
The class study rep pushed up a pair of imaginary glasses and laid out a plan with great seriousness: "Keep the best and discard the worst, learn the signature skills of every sect, and steadily grow stronger!"
Su Muqi nodded along. "Yeah, sure, whatever you say."
Class monitor: "We'll split into groups and join the top academies, earn the leaders' trust, and prevent the world-ending fate from the original story."
The study rep volunteered first: "The demonic cultivators are devious, and the Demon Lord is looking for a successor. I'll infiltrate the Demon Palace!"
Su Muqi (the Demon Lord's former heir who stole the core technique and ran): "...That probably won't work."
The PE rep: "The demon race has always been warlike and is constantly recruiting. I'll infiltrate them!"
Su Muqi (a former demon general who stabbed his own side in the back on the battlefield): "...That might be a little difficult."
Class monitor: "The righteous sects are about to hold their disciple recruitment ceremony. Xiao Su, come with me and become disciples of the Sword Immortal."
Su Muqi (the Sword Immortal's ex-boyfriend, who broke up with him abruptly before ascending): "Well..."
Take it from me, the paths you've picked are all full of danger.
Little Scene
On the third day undercover in the immortal sect, beside a secluded pond in the back mountain.
The class monitor led a newly made friend, sneaking toward the sect's spiritual fish pond while enthusiastically trying to brainwash him:
"The cultivation world is much more dangerous than you think. The big sects are rife with betrayal and power struggles. As unaffiliated outer disciples, we could become pawns at any moment if we're not careful. The only way to protect ourselves is to stick together, form a student council, quietly infiltrate the sect, and seize real power..."
The boy listened, completely dumbfounded.
The class monitor was pleased and kept at it, determined to make the student council great.
Su Muqi, quietly building a fire to roast fish nearby, looked up and met the "new friend's" gaze.
Su Muqi: "..."
**
"Have you heard? The Sword Immortal is holding a cultivation-partner ceremony with Immortal Su."
"Huh? With who? Didn't Immortal Su ascend?"
"Nope. The Sword Immortal knocked him out of the sky with one sword, so he never made it."
??? They can still become cultivation partners after that?
The powerful really are terrifying.
One-on-one, happy ending
Theme: Stay grounded and seek the truth from facts
