He had barely gotten his head around becoming the wandering ghost of Xuan Yue, the foremost practitioner of the Heartless Way, when he learned that he looked exactly like Xuan Yue. Then the sect leader told him that the Heartless Way hadn't had a single disciple in seven hundred years. If they didn't recruit one this year, Xuan Yue would have to pack up and give the vast Heartless Peak to someone else, then move in with the founding patriarch.
How could a wandering ghost possibly do that? Terrified that someone would discover he had possessed another person's body, he hurried over to the recruitment forum to post: "Everyone here is trash. The Heartless Way is the best!"
As expected, the post sparked a huge discussion and quickly went viral.
What, you're a cultivation fanatic? Then you should practice the Heartless Way all the more. The Heartless Way combined with sword cultivation is the real one plus one equals more than two. Defeating stronger opponents is no dream!
What, looking for a partner? Why join the Hehuan Sect when you could join the Heartless Way? Good grief, don't you know the Heavenly Dao automatically assigns custom-made wives to Heartless Way practitioners? Forget whether you can master the path. Have you found yourself a wife yet?
What, you have someone you love, but they cruelly rejected you and broke your heart? Then you should practice the Heartless Way all the more. Everyone knows that after you practice the Heartless Way, people will come crawling back to you. Once you enter the path, they'll come crying and begging you to change your mind.
Someone said, "You can't graduate from the Heartless Way."
A certain wandering ghost: "As if practicing another path means you'll ascend."
Someone said, "When you encounter a tribulation of love later on, your cultivation will fall dramatically."
A certain wandering ghost: "You said later on. I'm asking whether you had fun in the early stages."
A certain wandering ghost: "Being strong is temporary, but being handsome lasts a lifetime. And we practitioners of the Heartless Way are both strong and handsome."
Eventually, the Heartless Way finally recruited three people: one who cared about strength, one who wanted a wife, and one who had been hurt in love.
The numbers were small, but at least they finally had some disciples.
Unfortunately, the wandering ghost didn't practice the Heartless Way. The original owner of the body did, but he had fallen into demonic cultivation just as the wandering ghost arrived. Now the wandering ghost controlled the body, while the original owner watched him from within the sea of consciousness.
The wandering ghost: "Why don't you teach them?"
After reading his post, the original owner said, "You know a lot about the Heartless Way."
The wandering ghost: "What?"
The original owner: "The Heartless Way is the best in the world."
Good news: The immortal master hit it off with him at first sight, and they shared the same tastes. Bad news: The immortal master claimed to be seventeen this year and had never practiced the Heartless Way!
