Supernatural horrors are resurging. There’s no System with handy little prompts. The early stages focus on fighting monsters and leveling up, then things get exciting. There are a few xuanhuan elements, but the story is mainly about the supernatural. The pacing is a little slow at first.
Before being reborn, Li Xiao was the youngest Purple-Robed Celestial Master. While proving his Daoist heart, he was attacked by an extraterrestrial demon, and the two of them perished together!
After his rebirth, he finds that the world is flawed and its laws of nature incomplete, making it impossible to use Daoist arts. Fortunately, the extraterrestrial demon’s soul was completely destroyed in their battle! Fragments of its memories enter Li Xiao’s mind, including the Demonic Body Refinement Art, the Bloodthirsty Soul-Transforming Art, the Netherworld Death Eyes, and a host of other unorthodox cultivation techniques…
To Li Xiao’s utter bewilderment, cultivating Daoist arts in this world is like a snail trying to climb a mountain: he makes no progress at all. But with a mere thought, cultivating demonic arts and ghost magic makes his power grow visibly!
And when he commands vengeful ghosts, there’s no backlash either!
Li Xiao gives a bitter laugh. Could he, the youngest Purple-Robed Celestial Master from a reputable orthodox sect, really be destined to sink so low as to study demonic arts and ghost magic?
Unfortunately, as he cultivates these demonic techniques, Li Xiao is shocked to discover that the demon’s consciousness is slowly awakening…
