[Fast-paced + play the pig to eat the tiger + calculating + cautious and low-key + strategic scheming]
Deep in the Wanevil Mountains on the border of the Great Qian Dynasty, the demonic sect Youquan Blood Sect has made its lair.
Here, the weak are prey to the strong, and competition is like raising poisonous insects. Demonic cultivators stop at nothing to advance their cultivation.
Within the sect, everyone schemes against one another, and human life is treated as worthless.
The world's power system centers on cultivation, with the righteous and demonic paths locked in opposition.
But demonic techniques often trade life force, the destruction of one's foundations, or self-torture for a brief burst of power. Ordinary people wouldn't go near them.
Lin Changsheng possesses a rare Pure Yang spiritual bone, yet his aptitude is mediocre. He adheres to the utmost caution, scraping out a living in the cracks of the cultivation world for a hundred years.
He labors diligently at cultivation his entire life, growing old and gray-haired, only to stall at the ninth level of Breath Gathering. He has no hope of breaking through to Origin Forging, and his path to immortality is cut off for good.
Disheartened, Lin Changsheng plans to quietly live out the rest of his life and meet a peaceful end.
But fate has other plans. A beautiful demoness from the Youquan Blood Sect spots his peerless Pure Yang body and forcibly abducts him, making him her exclusive blood cauldron to aid her breakthrough.
To drain the very last of his spiritual bone's essence, the demoness forces him to cultivate the sect's deadly demonic arts. He suffers the backlash day after day, his life force steadily consumed, until he becomes a disposable pawn.
Just as Lin Changsheng thinks he is doomed, the Cause-and-Effect Reversal System activates!
Every negative cost of every cultivation technique, pill, and secret art in the world can have its cause and effect reversed, turning its drawbacks into benefits and reversing desperate situations!
From then on, Lin Changsheng, cautious at every step and shrewdly concealing his abilities, uses the reversed demonic arts to regain his youth, gain endless years of life, and build an unrivaled foundation!
In the end, he becomes the world's one and only undying, invincible supreme Daoist.
