Also known as: "The Days an Nascent Soul Cultivator Served as Li Shimin's Imperial Preceptor"

A powerful Nascent Soul cultivator accidentally stumbles into the Xuanwu Gate Incident. To make it back to the world of cultivation, he takes a job as Li Erfeng's imperial preceptor and earns merit points.

Blurb:

Guan Chuyang was a cultivator, but he wasn't a native of the Tianyuan Realm. He was an undocumented immigrant smuggled in from Blue Star to freeload on the spiritual energy and environment so he could cultivate and advance.

He had a System that looked like a dog, unfortunately a border collie.

One hundred and fifty years in all, from meager strength to the peak of Nascent Soul, from empty pockets to a fortune.

Guan Chuyang and his System made do with meager meals (the Blue Star convenience store delivery service had every delicacy imaginable), obeyed the law (...hard to say), and worked diligently (with the occasional day off).

They had braved countless dangers and crises, slogging through wind and rain to reach the cultivation level they had now.

He had thought life would carry on just as smoothly, progressing from the peak of Nascent Soul to the Divine Transformation stage, then ascending to immortality and attaining the Great Dao.

Who would have thought that at this crucial moment, the Heavenly Dao would play a little prank on him, throwing a small snag into the broad and well-paved road he was destined to travel.

Guan Chuyang and his System had the bad luck to fall into a small world, where they encountered Li Shimin and his adopted elder brother in the middle of the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

Both sides were bristling with hostility, and battle was about to break out.

At this life-or-death moment, Guan Chuyang and his System looked terribly out of place, standing right between the two armies.

It wasn't that they were afraid. It was just... awkward.

Fortunately, Guan Chuyang and his dog-like System had thick enough skin. Like nothing was wrong, like a dog just passing by, they strolled off to the side to give everyone room.

"Sorry to interrupt. Carry on."

Cultivator Guan decisively took his System and slipped away in a decidedly fantastical manner.

They found a quiet place, and the man and dog turned their attention to the crucial question of how to get back to the world of cultivation. After all, the small world really wasn't suitable for cultivators. Spiritual energy here was almost nonexistent, and it hardly seemed like a place where a cultivator could live. Cultivator Guan was determined to spend his spirit stones wisely and absolutely refused to waste them in a small world!

After discussing and debating, going back and forth, the man and dog reached an agreement and settled on a plan. Their eyes turned toward the imperial palace.

These days, being an imperial preceptor seemed like a promising career.
