Speedrunning the Cultivation World

Lu Ping has transmigrated into a world of immortal cultivation, but practitioners here are far from the free and unfettered beings of legend. Killing incurs karmic retribution; the more significant the victim, the heavier the consequence, potentially leading to instant death and the erasure of one's Dao. Even mortals burdened with immense karma can strip nearby cultivators of their powers, reducing them to ordinary humans. Yet none of this deters Lu Ping. Armed with a protagonist template that grants him immunity to karma and a diligence system that converts effort directly into cultivation base, he grinds his way forward without fear. When he eventually shatters the very figures all other cultivators dread with a single punch, the world will be forever changed. But before any of that can happen, he must first escape the Imperial Prison.
