Eighty Years in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Starting with Slaying the City God

After transmigrating into a world of immortal cultivation, Zhou Chong unexpectedly begins his cultivation journey and spends eighty diligent years as a wage slave in the Ghost-Slaying Bureau of the Great Jin. Fortunately, his years of experience in officialdom serve him well, and he rises through the ranks to become a Vice Commander overseeing a prefecture. He thinks he can look back on a life well lived, with a clear conscience before heaven and earth and at peace with himself, and that he deserves to enjoy wealth and spend his twilight years in comfort. Then Zhou Chong's golden finger suddenly levels up. A path to immortality appears before him once more. Zhou Chong grows stronger, but trouble multiplies too. He gets caught up in power struggles with his colleagues and rivals, becomes the focus of disputes between the three great schools of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism, is chosen as the inheritor of an ancient True Immortal's hidden treasure, and becomes a pivotal piece in the conflict between humans and demons. But none of this is the life Zhou Chong wants. All he ever wanted was a little courtyard in the capital, where he could enjoy a plate of osmanthus cakes every autumn... Many years later, someone asks the most powerful immortal cultivator in the world, “When did your legendary life begin, Senior?” Zhou Chong lets out a long sigh. “After eighty years in the brocade uniform, I suppose it all began when I slew that City God.”
