Synopsis

[Ensemble cast + no System + lighthearted comedy + court and martial world + Taoist priests and demons + a Heavenly Master who slays demons!]

(Chapter 78: Taking flight! A protagonist who grows over time)

When treacherous officials bring ruin to the nation, what should we do? Slay them!

When heretical cultivators prey on the people, what should we do? Slay them!

When flood dragons wreak havoc, what should we do? Slay them!

When demons and monsters run amok, what should we do? Slay them!

I shall devote sixty years of my life to cleansing the world of injustice!

My name is Zhang Daozhi. After an accident, I transmigrated into anotherworldly cultivation realm and became the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu.

I began dreaming of soaring away on my sword, carefree as I traveled through the world to banish demons.

But after ten years of cultivation, I was still only at Foundation Establishment. By realm alone, I was the weakest Heavenly Master in history.

Demons and monsters ran rampant at the foot of the mountain. One wrong move could cost me my life.

So I swore a “poisonous oath”: I would not descend the mountain until I attained immortality and became the most powerful person in the world.

But I had no idea that my fate had already been arranged by my late masters.

My younger sister in the capital was on the verge of death, so I went down the mountain to save her.

And so the wheels of fate began to turn.

After I reached the capital and saved my sister's life, I hoped to settle down and live in peace and comfort, without any more fighting.

But then a loyal official's descendant came to find me. She asked what should be done when treacherous officials ruin the nation.

I didn't answer.

Only when she knelt before me and said, “Heavenly Master, please slay the demons,” did I understand that the game of fate laid out by my late masters had already bound me to this world.

From that day on, Zhang Daozhi, who loved acting ridiculous and desperately sought immortality, died.

In his place stood the purple-robed Heavenly Master, sword in hand before countless people.

Later, I answered her question:

When treacherous officials...

Slay them!

I’m having such a hard time. In regular cultivation novels, the protagonist seems too kind; in dark cultivation novels, they seem too cold. Sometimes I think I must be a genius. Maybe I’ve read too many good books. I miss the days when I thought every book I picked up was great.
