American Redneck Cultivator in the Land of Destiny

Help! A seven-thousand-year-old Nascent Soul monster has suffered a catastrophic tribulation failure! Li Ang, an obsessively hardworking cultivator who slaughtered his way through another realm and endured millennia of bitter training to reach new heights, failed to withstand the lightning tribulation. After his physical form was destroyed, he opened his eyes to find himself fallen from the clouds straight into a redneck stronghold in America, inhabiting the body of Leon, an eighteen-year-old youth who had just frozen to death during a severe cold snap. While most transmigrators become powerful figures or stumble upon great opportunities, Li Ang not only became a redneck too poor to afford heating but also faced the fatal problem of Earth’s depleted spiritual energy—cultivating without qi is as impossible as cooking rice without water. To make matters even more absurd, his father Tom, a low-level ICE employee, cheerfully urges him to head to Minnesota to arrest immigrants and strike it rich together, envisioning a father-son partnership in making their fortune. Caught between the ruthless, cultivation-obsessed soul of a seven-thousand-year-old veteran and the gritty reality of lower-class American life, Li Ang must carve out a cultivator's path through a spiritually barren and dark America. He acknowledges that cultivation is arduous and every opportunity must be cherished, but if all else fails, he can always harvest "demonic energy" from those who cause trouble.
