The Slumbering Calamity of Half-Float Teahouse

Told in close third person, the story follows Shen Tinghe, who has spent ten years perfecting the art of doing absolutely nothing. As the owner of the Half-Float Teahouse, he naps through sect tournaments and ignores the arrogant cultivators drinking his mid-tier jasmine tea. He has a good reason: his cultivation base is so overwhelmingly dense that merely flexing his Qi would fracture the foundational pillars of the Yuancang Realm. He desires only a peaceful, melancholic fade into obscurity. But his quiet life shatters when a midnight courier drops off a sealed mahogany box containing a demon-blooded orphan and a cryptic letter from a dead rival. Too lazy to find a proper master for the boy, Shen casually tosses him a discarded cultivation manual once used to prop up a wobbly table. He expects the boy to give up. Instead, the outcast rapidly mutates the flawed technique into a world-shocking art, drawing the very attention Shen sought to avoid. With his best friend acting suspicious and a tragic villain attempting to collapse the heavens to save a dying world, will Shen shatter the sky to save his disciple, or let the realm suffocate?
