The Cheat-Code Ancestor of the Hehuan Dao

I'm asking you: if I don't get cheat abilities, why bother cultivating immortality? How am I supposed to enjoy myself without them?

He Huaijin died. He Huaijin came back to life, transmigrated into a wish-fulfillment novel as its arrogant, all-conquering hero. Other people got golden fingers like a wise old mentor, a divine physique, or an earth-shattering opportunity. His was...

A low, breathy CEO voice boomed in his ears:

"Hello, dear Host. This is the Awkwardness System. This time, I'll help you take back everything that belongs to you!"

He Huaijin: "..."

System: "Congratulations, Host! You gained 100 Awkwardness Points, converted into cultivation."

System: "Here, this is the supreme dual-cultivation technique. It will help you dominate the cultivation world!"

He Huaijin: "..." What kind of domination do you mean? The kind that involves lying in bed?

He Huaijin said nothing. He just kept studying artifact crafting, trying to forge a cultivation-world stainless-steel toilet brush so he could clear the oily, breathy voice from the System's throat.

.

As for the dual-cultivation technique... What do you mean, dual cultivation?

He cultivates both the Dual-Cultivation Path and the Heartless Path, making them fight each other. How is that not dual cultivation?

Many years later, the head of the Artifact Sect asked the number-one ancestor of the Dual-Cultivation Path how to craft an artifact spirit. Someone smiled faintly and brought out his crowd of children.

"It's a piece of cake."

XXXXX

This is a cheat-heavy power-progression romp.

The protagonist is decisive, no saintly pushover, and no slacker.

The story focuses on enlightenment and cultivating the heart. There will be a period of inner darkness and repression, but he'll be fine once he works through it.

The fights are satisfying, the world is expansive, and the protagonist reaches number one midway through.

P.S. (Brain storage): The protagonist has maxed-out cultivation talent and insight. He learns anything and everything, and starts off flying. The System is there to keep him alive in the early stages, but later it can't keep up with his talent, sudden insights, or growth.

The world is expansive and the protagonist has lots of cheats. (Aside from the beginner's dual-cultivation technique, he obtains and comprehends all his other cheats himself.) He founds a sect, and there may be quite a bit of writing about enlightenment. He might get a little fixated on certain things.

1. Relationships: There is some family affection. The protagonist has no romantic feelings for anyone, though several people have feelings for him. I'll try not to spend too much time explicitly describing those feelings. A few side characters have couples.

2. Plot: The story involves several connected worlds, and the scope will gradually expand. It takes around three to five hundred years for the protagonist to go from scraping along at the start to reaching number one. The whole book spans a thousand years. (The plot broadly follows the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes, not necessarily in order.)

3. The heart of the story is cultivating the heart and attaining enlightenment in a state of flow. Overall, it's lighthearted and ridiculous.

4. Burn a Bing Fire.

5. I will never abandon the story or cut the planned plot!
