The Sage of Idle Tales

Starting with a coffin.

Chen Luo's transmigration began in a mourning hall.

This is a world where reading grants extraordinary power.

Reading Confucian classics cultivates Haoran Righteous Qi;

Reading Daoist scriptures generates Innate Origin Qi;

Reading Buddhist sutras enlightens one to the true meaning of Samsara;

Yet, Chen Luo's cheat ability was a pile of 'idle tales' that even the Heavenly Dao forbade from appearing in this world!

What? Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio is regarded as a divine text by the Demon Kingdom?

What? Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils opened up a new realm of martial arts?

"Don't panic, don't panic, these are all minor matters!"

"This Confucian scholar, have you heard of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, with its generals like clouds and strategists like rain?"

"That Daoist priest, have you read Investiture of the Gods? Your Daoist sect is incredibly powerful in it!"

"Hey, esteemed monk, please wait, I also have a copy of Journey to the West here, are you interested?"

Histories, classics, philosophies, and anthologies are the Dao of the heavens; storytelling and dramas reflect the human world.

You refine your Yang God, he cultivates Buddha; in this mortal realm, I laugh towards the sky.
