This Xianxia story takes a little while to warm up. If that's not your thing, please give it a quick look anyway. Thanks.
A solemn promise: [0 AI] [Villains aren't stupid] [No clichés] [No padding]. Readers are welcome to call me out and point out flaws.
Gu Yuan transmigrates into a world of cultivation, only to be struck down by the Heavenly Dao Sect for supposedly committing an appalling crime before he can even begin his journey.
Fortunately, he possesses the supreme treasure Cicada of a Thousand Autumns, which lets him live a thousand lifetimes. He assumes he will have an easy path ahead, steadily accumulating immortal opportunities and cultivation arts until the day he comprehends the Dao and ascends to immortality...
In his first new life, Gu Yuan becomes an inner disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect. The sect leader senses his karmic ties and kills him on the spot.
In his third life, Gu Yuan hides out in the Nine Luminaries Sword Pavilion, hoping to cultivate in seclusion until the end of time. Then an elder of the pavilion storms into his cave abode, unleashes a barrage of swords, and leaves Gu Yuan and his friend drenched in blood.
In his four hundred and ninety-first life, after accumulating tens of thousands of years of experience, the rogue cultivator Gu Yuan forms a Golden Core, triggering a disturbance in the heavenly secrets. The Heavenly Dao Sect, the Nine Luminaries Sword Pavilion, the Formless Sect, Penglai Immortal Island, and Golden Core elders from all the major cultivation clans join forces to seize his core and destroy his soul.
Karma from a past life, retribution in this one.
No matter how many times Gu Yuan lives again, he can never cultivate beyond the Golden Core realm. In every life, the towering righteous sects use divinations of heavenly secrets and traces of karma to hunt him down across the land.
Nearly a thousand lifetimes, hundreds of thousands of years, an endless pursuit!
When did Gu Yuan become the cultivation world's public enemy, and why?
In his nine hundred and seventeenth life, Gu Yuan finally returns to the place where he first transmigrated, the Carefree Demonic Sect, where the Heavenly Dao Sect had sent him undercover...
In this life, Gu Yuan vows to become the greatest villain of all!
I can't do the premise justice in this blurb, so please read the story itself. Thanks!
