The World Can Hear Long Aotian's Inner Thoughts

As the Dragon-Proud Immortal Venerable who stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, Mingshu led his disciples against an invasion from the Demon Realm. Outnumbered and outmatched, he fell in battle, only to wake up in the body of a blind fake young master banished to a mountain villa. At the time, his former fiancé was happily engaged to the real young master, and the two were about to appear together on the most-watched same-sex dating show on the internet. But what did that have to do with Immortal Venerable Mingshu? As a top-tier Dragon-Proud, Mingshu vowed to fight his way back into the cultivation world, recruit new disciples, and kick the great demon's ass! It was an unremarkable afternoon when, at the exact same moment, a cold laugh rang out in the minds of everyone on Earth: [My fate is mine to command, not Heaven's!] People overseas: ??? Chinese? Netizens in China: ? Wait, why does that sound so familiar and so outrageously chuuni? [This family of bloodsuckers won't give me food or water? No matter. I'll plant spirit vegetables today and harvest them tomorrow.] [I can't summon my spirit beast mount at the moment, so I'll use my flying sword as a substitute for now.] [Though this world has run dry of spiritual energy, it still has ways to cultivate. How laughable that the few remaining sects would fight over a single spirit spring and end up going into cultivation deviation together.] [The real young master actually cut the villa's power to deal with me? I'll call down heavenly lightning for illumination, then!] People around the world discovered that they could hear someone's thoughts. At first, they assumed it was the magical writing of some chuuni author and treated it as their daily dose of entertainment. Until Gardens in major cities sprouted towering spirit-gathering formations. Plants grew at astonishing speeds, and crop yields multiplied several times over! A wage slave stuck in rush-hour traffic angrily pulled out a wooden sword and flew away on it. Tens of thousands established their foundations on the spot, while hidden sects descended from the mountains, determined to stamp out cultivation deviation. Heavenly lightning lit the night, turning cities all across China into places that never slept. Everyone: ??? Holy crap, a real Immortal Venerable? A true big shot? Netizens in China were ecstatic: Let's learn everything we can from the big shot! Netizens overseas wrung their handkerchiefs: Fuck, we have to learn Chinese first! Chinese classes overseas were packed to the rafters, the variety show Chinese Bridge reached unprecedented popularity, and Chinese students abroad became the hottest celebrities. - Spiritual energy had withered in this world, and Mingshu had once worried that he wouldn't find disciples to help him fight the Demon Realm. Until Mingshu, his eyesight restored, opened his eyes and silently watched billions of people shout in unison: Master, let's crush the Demon Realm and capture the demon alive! Mingshu: ...The great demon hasn't done anything to deserve that! - In his previous life, Ming Qingzhuo returned to the Ming family as the real young master and was married off to Chi Yan, the eldest young master of the illustrious Chi family. Who could have known that Chi Yan would end up in a car accident and become a vegetable? Meanwhile, Ming Qingzhuo watched as Mingshu and his childhood sweetheart fiancé were all lovey-dovey, and Mingshu shot to fame on a dating show. Ming Qingzhuo, meanwhile, was stuck caring for a vegetable and facing a lifetime of celibacy! Reborn, Ming Qingzhuo decided to steal Mingshu's fiancé and make Mingshu marry the vegetable in his place. Then he saw Chi Yan wake up, hook an arm around Mingshu's waist, and laugh as demonic energy and spiritual power tangled in the air: “You really want to kick my ass that badly?” Ming Qingzhuo: ?? He was still in a rich-family drama, while Mingshu had already evolved into a cultivation adventure? [Synopsis screenshot taken on April 28, 2024] Theme: Hard work can change your circumstances
