Even Foundation Establishment Cultivators Have to Pay the Mortgage

Lu Chen, a Foundation Establishment office worker, has three years of his lifespan secretly siphoned away by an immortal sect's mystic array during an overtime shift. On the brink of death, he awakens the "Lifespan Ledger." He starts out as a timid worker who only wants to pay off his cave-dwelling loan and make it to the Golden Core stage. But little by little, he audits the accounts and reclaims lifespan for his fellow workers and people across the land. Following the ledgers up the chain, he ultimately discovers and smashes the Seven Great Immortal Sects' monopoly on ascension, giving the word "immortality" back to everyone.
