Gou Dingtian, an overworked modern laborer, unexpectedly transmigrates to a world of immortal cultivation and becomes an outer sect disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect, on the verge of being expelled.
Other transmigrators become divine physiques, sacred embryos, or peerless geniuses. He has neither heaven-defying talent nor an invincible cultivation technique. The only thing he gets is a strange System called the Immortal Cultivation World's Atmosphere Maintenance System.
As long as he creates a scene that leaves a lasting impression, he has a chance to earn a reward.
So while others cultivate in seclusion, he studies how to do less work. While others compete for heavenly treasures, he studies the sect's mission system. While others tremble before the powerful, he can't help asking all sorts of strange questions from a modern person's perspective.
What he never expected was that every offhand complaint of his would be interpreted by the great figures of the immortal cultivation world as profound cultivation wisdom.
He only wanted to play dumb and get by, but little by little, he gets drawn into sect rivalries, explorations of secret realms, and the mystery of an ancient inheritance.
Then one day, Gou Dingtian realizes that he seems to have gone from an ordinary person who only wanted to lie flat to the one person the entire immortal cultivation world can no longer do without.
