[Dual Male Leads + Strong Leads + Cultivation + Redemption + Secret Identity + Happy Ending]
“I cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness. I sever all feelings and desires.”
The day Ling Wuwang took on a disciple, he leveled three mountain peaks with a single sword strike.
The tip of his sword pointed at Hua Cishu, who had knelt for nine days and nights. His voice was colder than snow:
“To enter my sect, you must sever worldly ties and extinguish human desire.”
“Can you do that?”
Hua Cishu lifted his head and smiled brightly. “This disciple can.”
Later, Hua Cishu realized that his master truly was heartless.
When he was injured, Ling Wuwang made him soak in a bone-chilling pool to “temper his body.”
When he was in danger, Ling Wuwang stood by and watched so he could “temper his Dao heart.”
When Hua Cishu fell for him, Ling Wuwang personally carved a “Heartless Curse” into his spiritual platform.
At last, Hua Cishu gave up hope. During the war between immortals and demons, he detonated his golden core to shield Ling Wuwang from a world-ending strike.
Before his soul scattered, he said softly, “Master, now... I owe you nothing.”
Much later.
Ling Wuwang clutched Hua Cishu’s shattered life tablet and knelt beneath the ninth heavenly tribulation.
With three thousand strands of white hair, he turned demonic, sword in hand.
He tore open a rift in space and time, stained the thirty-third heaven with blood, and found the mortal young man selling medicine in the human realm.
The young man looked at him in confusion. “Immortal Lord... do we know each other?”
Ling Wuwang trembled as he kissed the cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye, tears burning hot.
“I’m your disciple.”
“...Starting today, I’ll cultivate you.”
