The Sword Dao Was Too Competitive, So I Switched to Formations and Achieved Sainthood

On the Xuanwu Continent, the sword reigns supreme, and everyone dreams of becoming a sword cultivator to bring honor to their family.

In his previous life, Zhou Yuan was a civil servant. After being reborn, he only wanted to become a low-ranking sword cultivator and coast through life.

Who could have guessed that his talent would be lacking and that he would awaken a lie-flat System? As long as he doesn't actively compete and overwork himself, he can gain tremendous power.

So he gives up the sword path, switches to formation cultivation, and successfully activates the lie-flat System.

From then on, you can all work yourselves to the bone in your 996 grind.

I'll coast along and still be stronger than you.

What? Why do we all hold official posts, but I'm the only one who gets weekends off?

Because I lie flat better than anyone. The emperor personally invited me, so I reluctantly made that request.

What? Why did the sage in the ancient ruins choose me as his heir?

Because you were all fighting and grinding your way through the front gate, while I came in through the back.

What? Why can I, a formation cultivator, break through my limits?

Because you all cultivate the sword path. None of you ever realized that formation cultivators are the most powerful in this world.

You people really are too competitive, and you're competing in all the wrong places.
