I Transmigrated to a World of Evil Cultivators, and I’m the Only One with a Spiritual Root?

[One Female Lead · Flesh-and-Blood Cultivation · Dark Worldbuilding · Split Personality]

On the day he failed the graduate school entrance exam, a bolt of lightning struck Xiao Yao and sent him to a horrible place where people had to eat others to cultivate.

Evil cultivators were everywhere, and everyone devoured one another. But he discovered that the bolt of lightning inside him had become the only “orthodox spiritual root” in this world.

The good news: He could cultivate without eating people.

The bad news: A three-armed female evil cultivator had found him.

The female evil cultivator was even crazier. By day, she broke all four of his limbs and forced him to drink blood medicine. At night, she held him and called out her elder sister's name. She had a split personality: one side wanted to kill him, while the other wanted to save him.

“You're the strangest person I've ever met,” she said.

“So are you,” he replied.

Later, they discovered that there was something even more terrifying than cannibalism in this world:

The people who ate others were being devoured by something even greater.

The immortal mountain of Penglai was actually a nest of insects.

Ancient inheritances had long since become bloody scams.

Someone called him stupid and asked why he would save someone who wanted to kill him.

Xiao Yao thought for a moment, then said:

“Because in my world, eating people isn't popular.”

This is a story about trying not to become a monster in a world of cannibals.

It's also a story about a lightning spiritual root and a deranged female evil cultivator striking their way through the darkness.

With no righteous path left, I shall become the lightning.
