I Was Reborn After Sacrificing Myself for the Dao

Bai Jin, the Venerable Lord of the Lihuo Sect, took Pei Yu as his disciple and raised him with care. For over twenty years, he shaped him into the sharpest blade in the world, all so Pei Yu could kill him and sacrifice him to the Dao, saving all living beings in the Cang Realm. He never expected to be reborn. His appearance and strength had both regressed to his teenage years. Before he could find a place to hide and recuperate, he ran into Pei Yu, who had already ascended to immortal status. In the distance stood an immortal mountain Pei Yu had carved into a human shape, with the words "Tomb of the Venerable Lord Lihuo" engraved upon it. They say that whether you're an immortal or a passing bird, even if you only happen to pass by this tombstone, you have to stop and kowtow before leaving. Before him stood Pei Yu himself, wearing a mask and looking like someone best left alone. He seemed a little mad. He asked Bai Jin: "Who are you?" "You're so good-looking, you can't possibly be one of my disciples' disciples." Bai Jin felt that something was wrong. He'd worn a mask for years while in charge of the Immortal Palace. Among all the people there, only Pei Yu had ever seen his face. Yet now Pei Yu didn't recognize him. Either Pei Yu was pretending, or back when his disciple Pei Yu fought people from the other immortal sects... He'd injured his brain. --Upcoming historical cultivation novel, Song of the Heart-- Blurb: No one in the cultivation world knows, except Lin Xu, that one of the most powerful figures, Mu Huaian, is the inner demon Lin Xu painstakingly nurtured with his own blood and soul, little by little, ever since Mu Huaian had only just begun to cultivate. Lin Xu was the one who watched Mu Huaian take human form. Lin Xu was the one who defied the elders and insisted that Mu Huaian stay by his side to cultivate with him. And Lin Xu was the one who helped Mu Huaian sever all ties to his past and overcome his tribulation. After that, Mu Huaian became a renowned Immortal Venerable in the cultivation world. Lin Xu, meanwhile, was a cultivation prodigy rarely seen in centuries. In everyone's eyes, however, he was a good-for-nothing who could cultivate for a thousand years without ever drawing a single bolt of heavenly lightning. His reputation became even greater than Mu Huaian's. The two of them had no further contact. That was until Lin Xu discovered that Mu Huaian had never forgotten that he was Lin Xu's inner demon. But Lin Xu didn't know this: Mu Huaian couldn't forget. He didn't dare forget, and he couldn't bear to forget. He also didn't know: The day Mu Huaian took human form, he gained a divine ability. He could read minds. He could only read Lin Xu's mind. Tentative title: The Fake Good-for-Nothing (Bottom) and His Powerful Inner Demon (Top) Theme: Eliminate evil and promote good.
