[Technical Power Fantasy + Earth Vein Cultivation + Unhinged Beauty + Counterkill Across Realms + Flight and Survival + Powerful Couple + Decisive and Ruthless]
Guo Xing, born with an affinity for earth veins but unable to cultivate, left his sect in disgrace. By the roadside, he found Ning Caiyu, the senior sister: her dantian crippled, her spiritual root ripped out, blood spurting from her chest, and a Heart-Devouring Gu planted inside her.
Guo Xing: I know formations. I can save people and ambush them. I dare say no one in the cultivation world knows formations better than I do. I appointed myself the Formation Ancestor, and one day every formation cultivator will bow to me.
Ning Caiyu grinned. I'm crazy. I can kill people and set fires. Most importantly, I can teach you to cultivate. We won't follow the Heavenly Dao. We'll follow the Great Dao of Earth Veins.
Guo Xing's heart raced. Deal. I'll be in charge of setting fires, and you'll be in charge of killing people.
The two happily settled on this arrangement. Then one day, when they faced a Dao Lord of the Unity Realm, they discovered that cultivators across the world were no more than clay chickens and pottery dogs before their team.
Even Great Ascension cultivators had to kneel and beg them to open the Heavenly Gate.
