The Uncanny Path to Immortality: Raising Ghosts to Cultivate in the Demon Sect

Li Changsheng wakes up in a bizarre and unpredictable world of cultivation, where he has become a menial disciple of the demonic sect Ghost Barbarian Sect.

Cultivating in a demonic sect is as cruel as being in hell. Mortals must feed their own hearts to “ghost seeds” for even the faintest chance of growing a spiritual root, a process in which nine out of ten die.

At the brink of despair, Li Changsheng unexpectedly awakens the supreme talent [Feeding the Nether, Stealing Lifespans]. By feeding ghosts of all kinds, he can seize their magical power, lifespans, and supernatural abilities!

Ghosts run rampant within the demonic sect, but human hearts are even more treacherous. Fellow disciples who treat human lives as resources, and beautiful, poisonous flowers with knives hidden behind their smiles... Amid dangers on all sides, Li Changsheng quietly enters the sect's forbidden grounds: the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cavern.

The ghost cavern that every menial disciple avoids is, to him, the very resource that will let him ascend to the pinnacle.

Feed a starving ghost and obtain [Art of the Hungry Ghost's Breath], multiplying the yield of spiritual materials and treasures of yin;

Feed a seduction ghost and obtain [Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Art], seize its power and refine it into a cultivation vessel;

Feed a shadow ghost and obtain [Nine Shadows Strangling Art], an elusive technique that kills in an instant without a trace...

Thousands of years later, deep in the netherworld, Li Changsheng sits upon the imperial throne, with the shadows of ghosts from across the heavens prostrate at his feet.

A knowing smile tugs at Li Changsheng's lips. “The things I raise aren't ghosts. They're the true ‘rules’ of this world.”
