Reborn as an Immortal Venerable [Top]

Unlike ordinary xianxia worlds, a massive barrier surrounds the lands of the four great sects. Cultivators have entered an age of reform, while demonic cultivators are still stuck in the last century. Which will prevail: the demonic path, or the righteous one? Mingshi: I give up. We're all ancient demon gods here. Let me live. Yibaichen: That's not enough sincerity. Mingshi flies into a rage, rolls up his sleeves, and prepares to keep fighting. Yibaichen: Add yourself to the deal, and I might just accept. Transmigrate into the body of an Immortal Emperor and embark on the path to becoming a sage. As the saying goes: Heaven and Earth are not benevolent; they treat all things like straw dogs. Sages are not benevolent; they treat the common people like straw dogs. Our protagonist is destined to become a sage, so this isn't a level-up story. He's already powerful from the start. CP: Immortal Venerable x Demon Venerable As for my moral compass, make of it what you will. I'm the kind of writer who loves writing scum gong protagonists. The protagonist is still, as always, the gong. I suppose I'm mildly gong-leaning. Cough. Shou fans, please don't hit me. And if you do, go easy. Also... I still prefer the original title, Wind and Clouds Arise. I'm feeling gloomy.
