At seventeen, Jiang Huozhi had no interest in cultivation. Every day, he vowed to become the world's most unmotivated slacker.
Then he opened his eyes and found himself ten years in the future...
Who the hell turned me into the greatest cultivator under heaven?
Surrounded by mountains of sect paperwork and junior disciples who were all hopeless romantics, he got no appreciation for all his hard work and still had to clean up after those little idiots.
Without hesitation, Jiang Huozhi threw in the towel and left the sect.
According to the elders, they found Jiang Huozhi on a desolate mountainside behind the sect.
He was rolling up his sleeves and diligently watering his little vegetable patch.
"Immortal Venerable, the immortal sects have fallen into chaos since you left!"
Jiang Huozhi said, "That's only natural. The world is always changing. What comes together eventually falls apart, and what falls apart eventually comes together. Just let things take their course. `(*∩_∩*)′"
After making a fuss for ages, the major sects realized that nobody was going to pay them any attention and slunk off in disappointment.
"Immortal Venerable, your junior brother has been bewitched by a demon cultivator again!"
Jiang Huozhi said, "That's only natural. The more you try to stop him, the more he'll think he's found true love. Better to let things take their course. (=^▽^=)"
A few months later, his junior brother came running over in tears, clinging to Jiang Huozhi's leg and begging him not to abandon him.
"Immortal Venerable, the demon lord has appeared! Only you can come out of seclusion and stop him!"
When the elders came to the little shack yet again, they were about to weep and explain just how terrifying the demon lord was when they saw him sitting opposite Jiang Huozhi, calmly sipping tea with a perfectly respectable air.
Jiang Huozhi smiled. "Perfect timing. Try some of the new tea I picked."
The elders all waved their hands and decided to leave while they still could, planning to go back and discuss how to make Jiang Huozhi see the demon lord's true nature.
Watching them leave, Jiang Huozhi said with satisfaction, "Looks like they've finally grasped the truth of life."
The demon lord asked calmly, "And what is that?"
Jiang Huozhi raised his teacup and declared, "When the sky falls, let the tallest person hold it up!"
The demon lord asked with interest, "Are you the tallest person?"
Jiang Huozhi shook his head. "I'm the one lying down."
The demon lord: "..."
