Achieving Immortality in a Cultivation World by Extraordinary Means

The cicada knows not the seasons, and the mayfly cannot tell dawn from dusk.
Upon waking, Fu Shaoguang finds himself reborn as the most ephemeral of creatures: a mayfly. Facing a lifespan measured in mere hours, he strives to cultivate his health and prolong his days, fighting his way up from the very bottom of the food chain.
From goji berries, white fungus, and lotus seed tea to black ginseng, deer antler, and snow clam—he seeks life in the Thousand Fragrances Ointment and sustains his vitality through the Art of a Hundred Herbs.
With thunder arising from his fingertips, he reveals the three thousand affairs of the world. With gleaming wings, he witnesses the passing years fly by like a whistling arrow.
He descends to the Netherworld to find the spirits of the underworld gods are immortal. He ascends to the Heavenly Court to find the Sun God’s physical body endures.
Borrowing life from heaven and earth, seeking longevity across the seasons, he unknowingly becomes the longest-living being in existence—overlooking the eons and holding the reins of time.
Many years later, looking back, Fu Shaoguang says with a sigh: “At first, I didn’t ask for much; I just wanted to live a little longer.”
