Wang Ling just wants crispy noodles. Everyone around him is scheming for power, status, magic swords, the stuff that usually drives anime plots. He killed the Demon King at six and decided that was enough; now he's watching normal people obsess over the exact things he's already transcended, and the show finds comedy gold in his complete indifference to their desperation. The joke never gets old because the show keeps introducing new cultivators convinced they're the main character, only to watch them bounce off someone who treats world-ending threats like minor inconveniences between meals. It's a parody that doesn't mock what it's parodying, it just lets you see cultivation fantasy from the perspective of someone for whom it stopped mattering a long time ago.
Wang Ling is an all-powerful agriculture wizard who took down the Demon King Swallow Sky Clam at just six years old, and now keeps his strength hidden so he can live among ordinary cultivators. Money, magic, magic weapons and reputation mean nothing to him. What he really wants is crispy noodles, even with the wealthy Sun Rong fond of him, a sharpshooter from a top assassin circle, and his parents talking nonstop. In season three, demons have become refugees after losing their home, and the Kyuumiya family schemes to drain their energy. Their eldest daughter Yoshiko enrolls at Faction 60 as cover and becomes friends with Wang Ling and his crew, but her real mission soon comes to light, and Wang Ling must try to stop the Kyuumiya. The ONA mixes action, comedy and fantasy.
