After Ten Thousand Reincarnations, I Entered Cultivation to Sever My Romantic Ties

“If I have another life, I, Shen Ze, would rather become a demon than an immortal. I would betray the world, but never my own heart. You and I will never meet again, in this life or any other.”

After an unexpected transmigration, Shen Ze and his girlfriend Jinying arrive in a world of immortal cultivation. She possesses the Ice Phoenix Physique and is revered by her sect as a prodigy. He, however, is a mortal without a spiritual root, scraping by as a servant on the laborers’ peak.

He carries ore, skips meals, and saves spirit stones, all to buy her the lowest-grade Spirit-Gathering Herb.

But after a prodigy’s scheming, she leads him into a dead end with her own hands.

“You’re a burden to me.”

A flying sword pierces his chest, and blood stains the herb. With his dying breath, Shen Ze swears a blood oath.

A mysterious jade pendant activates the Myriad Lifetimes Reincarnation System.

He lives nine lives as a hunter, physician, general, beggar, scholar, blacksmith, painter, monk, and more. In every life, he has no spiritual root and can only struggle through the mortal world. In every life, he dies bearing a grudge, only to awaken again in the cycle of reincarnation.

Nine lives of hardship, nine lives of accumulated experience.

In his tenth life, his Chaos Spiritual Root awakens, and his Myriad-Lifetimes Physique reaches completion.

This time, he joins no sect and relies on no powerful patron. With the experience of nine lifetimes as his blade and an unfeeling Dao-heart as his shield, he rises from the very bottom, step by step. Alchemy, forging, beast-taming, puppetry: every art is at his command.

But he does not know that the woman who betrayed him is also following in his footsteps through the cycle of reincarnation.

She has taken on the secret identity of a “legal person,” erasing her sense of self so she can protect each of his reincarnations from the shadows.

Nor does he know that behind the betrayal lies a conspiracy capable of overturning the Heavenly Dao.

Cutting off love is not the same as being heartless.
