Li Ming was just a fifteen-year-old village boy armed with a rusty kitchen knife… and his first opponent on the path of cultivation was a chicken.

Yes, a chicken.

But when fate (or maybe just bad luck) gave him a strange treasure that boosted his cultivation speed by ten times, his life completely changed.

From being the boy laughed at by everyone…
To shocking his village with “accidental genius”…
To stepping into the world of cultivation where no one has ever reached the highest realm—
Li Ming swore he would climb to the very peak and become the first Heavenly Emperor in history!

Of course, before that… he really should deal with that smug chicken.

“From chicken slayer to Heavenly Emperor — watch him rise"

Note from the author:

This isn’t a story that tries to dazzle you from the first page — it grows on you.

The early chapters may seem calm, simple, even deceptively ordinary, but they quietly build the strange logic, humor, and rhythm that define Li Ming’s world.

Every conversation, every lazy remark, every “nonsense” scene becomes part of a larger pattern that starts clicking into place after the first hundred chapters.

By the time you reach the mid-series, the pieces suddenly connect — the humor sharpens, the cultivation logic deepens, and every absurd moment begins to make sense in ways both hilarious and satisfying.

What begins as a parody slowly transforms into a genuine cultivation epic… one that laughs at the heavens while still touching something profound beneath it.

If you enjoy stories that start slow but hit hard, or characters who grow not by screaming “Dao!” every three lines but by quietly outsmarting both friends and fate, then give it time.
You’ll find yourself in a world where even bureaucracy has qi, tea can spark enlightenment, and the laziest man alive somehow becomes the most dangerous cultivator in the realm.

This novel doesn’t rush — it ripens.
And by the time you reach the later arcs, you’ll realize it was never about power levels or flashy battles.
It’s about wit, balance, and the beautiful chaos that comes with enlightenment disguised as comedy.

Three days after Li Ming's appointment as National Disaster of Honor, the Empire began to behave… differently.


"New 'Balance Movement' Sweeps the Capital — Nobles Sit on Floors to 'Equalize Karma.'"


"Merchants Rename Shops 'Department of Sensible Profits.' Prices Triple Instantly."


"Ministry of Finance Demands To Know Why It's Now Officially Called 'Department of Missing Money.'"


Li Ming was reading these with a serene cup of tea in the courtyard.


The tea was calm. He was calm. The palace was not calm.


Lan Yue burst in, scroll in hand, expression halfway between disbelief and a migraine.


He looked up peacefully. "That's a scroll."


She glared. "This scroll! It says half the officials are forming something called the 'Balanced Faction!'"
