   💥Highly recommended! Zhou Ping, having just transmigrated to the cultivation world, was abducted to the Joyful Sect to participate in the entrance examination. Within two hours, those consumed by lust would die, those who succumbed to debauchery would die, and those with mediocre aptitude would die even more! To resist the burning flames, Zhou Ping resolutely castrated himself. He barely passed the examination, only to be instantly killed by outer disciples due to his poor aptitude. Fortunately, he activated a cheat ability, allowing him to rewind time and bring back the cultivation, treasures, and talents accumulated in his previous life. In this demonic sect where all disciples used lust as a ladder, flesh as fuel, and where every step was bloody and insane, and human life was cheap, Zhou Ping repeatedly rewound time, constantly improving his aptitude and strength. After 999 rewounds, he finally grew from a lowly blood and flesh waste in the sect into a Demon Ancestor who suppressed an era and whose name struck fear into the hearts of all.

He changed his name in every place he went, always using his enemies' names, so nobody knew his real name.

    A very good mortal cultivation/demonic cultivation novel. It's both a mortal cultivation story and a demonic cultivation story. The protagonist is decisive, not a sycophant or a saint, but an extremely ruthless person. He will stop at nothing to achieve immortality. If you're a passing reader, please add it to your bookshelf and give it a good review. Wishing you all the best and happiness every day!
