As he learns of his lack of talent for cultivation, he embraces an ordinary life, only to stumble upon a series of outlandish events that defy expectations.
From Dog to Demon Lord, From Tree to World Bridge
Li Nianfan’s life takes a turn for the utterly bizarre when the dog he adopts takes an interest in his creative pursuits. Watch in amusement as this canine companion evolves into a formidable demon lord, ruling over a significant portion of the world. But the eccentricity doesn’t stop there. A tree he nurtures in his backyard attains otherworldly significance, evolving into a world tree that connects the realms of heaven and earth. These whimsical occurrences set the stage for a narrative that masterfully blends the mundane and the extraordinary.
A Casual Conversation that Shapes an Era
Casual conversations have the power to spark profound transformations, as Li Nianfan discovers. A passing traveler, enlightened by a simple exchange with him, evolves into an immortal sage who shapes the very essence of his era. Such unexpected turns become the cornerstone of this narrative’s charm, infusing it with an irresistible blend of comedy, fantasy, and adventure.

A Whimsical Tale with Many Faces
Much like its protagonist’s array of titles, including “I’m a Cultivation Bigshot,” “So I Am the Godfather of Immortal Cultivation,” and “Turns Out I’m a Great Cultivator,” the anime encapsulates a reminiscence of the absurd and hilarious isekai and cultivation tales that have delighted fans before.
It draws inspiration from the likes of “It Started a Mountain,” “I’m a Fake Cultivator,” “My Three Thousand Years to the Sky,” “A Will Eternal,” and more. The common thread? A protagonist whose absurdity only adds to their overbearing and unexpectedly powerful aura.
