Chinese Manhua are sorta funny for being strangely formulaic and also strangely strange.
1. MC is overpowered.
2. MC acquires whatever to reach the golden rod in arby's sandwich levels of cultivation
3. Someone disrespects MC
At this point, one of two things happen.
Either,
1. MC smacks the shit out of the person who disrespected them
or
2. Every single person the MC has ever met gets bussed to the current location and talks about how great MC is, making the person who disrespected them grovel and beg for forgiveness.
Then return to "MC is overpowered"
I wonder if it's related to the sort of society it is written in? In a shame based society having an MC who has to struggle to succeed may not be considered as acceptable as a main character who is already strong enough to win easily.
OTOH, Japan is a similarly shame based society as far as I know, so why would they be able to produce stories that include struggle?
Man, it's a complicated thing to think about.

That would interrupt the cultivation, the smacking the shit out of people, and the busloads of people coming to vouch for the MC.
