It starts with engineering that leads to tax evasion, but at the heart of it one question: cultivation is the path to ultimate freedom, but what does freedom mean when the heavens hold all the cards?
From the moment Qian Shanyi stepped on the path of cultivation, she wanted to soar through the sky on top of a flying sword, slaying devils and serving justice, at the head of a sect none could defy. Unfortunately, her luck was very average, and she found herself locked in a pocket universe with half a dozen dangers vying to kill her.
With nothing but her tenacity and raw engineering talent, can she ascend to Heavens like a phoenix?

His empire almost doubling in size through the force of arm and a treasure once stolen now returned and in victory he found a far greater treasure. But perhaps his victory was to overwhelming as new enemies rise to take what is his from within and without.
And if the Liang clan catches wind of the treasure he found, of the power it will give him. His sect would be put the sword.
Cao Fa must now navigate the complicated web of the top of the cultivation world, see his ambition fulfilled or fall.

Unknown to her, agreements and plots hatched decades before she was even born are coming to a head with her smack down in the middle. The revelations shaking her to her core.
By deed and coincidence, the fate of both are intertwined.

How appropriate, he thought, that Death would be here to watch as he died at the hands of a Young Master.

Which makes it all the more strange that he's still alive.MoreLess

Unexpectedly, Tristan, a kid who has been locked up in a dungeon for two years by his stepmother, ends up receiving a fragment of this book.

Hijinks ensue. He's genre-savvy about D&D but ignorant about the Xianxia/cultivation world he ends up falling into.
You can consider this a somewhat non-traditional Xianxia story, where the MC's "special advantage" that often exists (golden finger in the tropes of the genre) is being a patient low-level Wizard from a D&D campaign. Can our MC cultivate the dao while trying not to go insane due to contact with Great Old One? Can they combine magic and "this newfangled Qi business"? We'll see!
The magic is only heavily based on D&D, some of the rules I have adjusted for narrative reasons.

Gods, immortals, Buddhas, and demons, as well as nameless monsters and malevolent devils.
In the vast eternal starry sky, they all existed alongside countless races, all fighting for supremacy, all pursuing the path of stellar cultivation.
From the tiniest speck of dust to the mightiest immortal god, they all sought the path to eternity, embroiled in an endless struggle across the cosmos.
To challenge the heavens, to break the chains of destiny, and to become Eternals.
Tian Lang? Tian Lang sought a way to avoid being crushed to death between the arms of an overly enthusiastic martial artist, endure the endless speeches of the princess of an elven race, or escape being burned alive by the flames of the fire breath from the heiress of a dragon clan.
All the while, he seeks to fulfill his true role in this world! To be the unparalleled number one Rival! Even if he had to endure his master's extreme training or the foolish challenges of the demon queen...
The brutal trials of the heavens would not stop him, no matter what!

So when a car crash claimed his soul and hurtled it into a Xianxia world, complete with a cooking system that was anything but ordinary, Lei was more than excited to get to work.
But it turned out he had been chucked into a boiling pot, one filled with demonic cultivators, corrupt governance, and clues suggesting there was more to his reincarnation than met the eye. Lei has to make a choice: run away, leaving behind the kids who depended on him and his only friend in the city, or fight back using his overly spiritual dishes to cleanse the evil.
His recipes were about to stir up some magic.
