Tang Qingyue was on the verge of becoming an immortal official, ready to do his part in the lower ranks of the immortal realm and serve all living beings. But one day, after someone grew jealous of him, he was wrongly implicated in the deaths of two immortals. Despite placing first in his trial, he was judged to have fallen short in merit.
Fortunately, he wasn't short by much, just a mere eighty thousand points. Tang Qingyue confidently figured he could earn enough in three days at most.
Then he diligently hunted demons and monsters in the mortal world, only to end up eight million merit points in debt???
Other immortals: How did you manage that? Even if you jumped straight down from the sky and crushed a monster to death, you'd get at least ten thousand merit points, wouldn't you?!
Tang Qingyue: Maybe it's because...
A spirit possessed puppets and slaughtered a city, imprisoning countless souls. Tang Qingyue rescued them, only for a strange old man to bundle them all up and steal them. He pursued the old man, but stumbled into releasing an army of dead soldiers trapped in a maze...
The greatest sect under heaven joined forces with monsters to seize the souls of the living, carrying out a century-long kidnapping operation. Tang Qingyue destroyed the hundred-year spirit vein forged from the life essence of their captives, leaving the sect's disciples unable to ascend for a hundred years...
An empress had slaughtered her ministers in the mortal world. After ascending to immortality, she was haunted by their vengeful ghosts, which stunted her cultivation. Tang Qingyue resolved the ghosts' grievances, but the empress then rebelled in heaven, seeking to seize the throne of the immortal ruler...
The overachiever Tang Qingyue had no choice but to give up and take it easy, drinking tea and tending flowers. A little immortal he had saved cooked for him, cleaned up after him, and helped raise his spirit pets until they were plump and healthy.
But this little immortal who had shamelessly insisted on staying with him actually had a demon tattoo?! And it was the highest-grade kind!
Something was wrong. Very, very wrong!
He was actually the infamous Demon Emperor from the legends, notorious for killing without blinking?!
