Five Years in a Xianxia World, Still at Qi Refinement—But Back on Earth, I Can Break Mountains

Diagnosed with a terminal illness, dumped by his girlfriend of five years, then soul-transmigrated into a cultivation world—five years later, he's back at the very moment she broke up with him. This time, she's sobbing and begging for a second chance. He just wants to refine his qi and draw his blade. Jiang Yuan once thought the cruelest ending life could give him was a terminal cancer diagnosis, only to be abandoned by his girlfriend of five years, Qin Shuyu—who left him for her first love. But fate had an even crueler twist: his soul crossed into a cultivation realm, where he trained relentlessly for five years and reached the pinnacle of Qi Refinement. Then, an accident hurled him right back to the very night she dumped him. This time, he asks no questions. He begs no one. He doesn't even spare her a second glance. Qin Shuyu expected him to break down, to cling, to beg. Instead, all she found in his eyes was cold indifference. She began to regret. She threw herself at him desperately—only to hear: "You're slowing down my blade." And then Jiang Yuan realized something extraordinary. In the cultivation world, Qi Perfection was nothing—bottom-tier, barely worth noticing. But back on Earth? He could ride the wind. Walk on air. Summon lightning with a thought. Split rivers with a single finger. The cancer that was supposed to kill him? Already washed away by spiritual energy, nothing but an old scar. Standing atop a skyscraper, gazing down at the city below, he smiled— "Maybe I don't need to go back to that cultivation world after all." No system. Multiple love interests. A groveling ex who realizes too late what she lost. No simping. No looking back. This isn't a comeback story. This is returning at the peak. —You cry your tears. I'll transcend my tribulation.
