Qi Guanqing died unexpectedly and transmigrated to a world of immortal heroes. He had neither exceptional talent nor heaven-defying luck, and the golden finger assigned to him by the Book Transmigration Bureau, immortality, was practically useless in a world crawling with demons and monsters, where Golden Core cultivators were everywhere.
Fortunately, Qi Guanqing arrived before the story began. At that point, the children of destiny in the book were all still obscure nobodies.
Qi Guanqing made full use of his golden finger, helping them whenever they fell into trouble and luring these naive children of destiny into his sect. All he had to do was wait for them to reach great heights in their cultivation, then enjoy a peaceful retirement.
But before they could succeed, Qi Guanqing died first.
He was immortal, but his death was so gruesome that it took him quite a while to come back to life.
When he finally woke up, he discovered that his disciples were gone, his sect was gone, and the retirement savings he'd painstakingly amassed were gone too!
His once obedient, adorable disciples had each become a regional overlord, but they had cut off all contact with one another. Whenever they met, a bloody battle was sure to follow.
He had been dead for a hundred years, and not one of them had visited his grave.
Just as Qi Guanqing was breaking down, he discovered that his youngest disciple was still on the mountain, still as obedient and adorable as ever.
He decided to start with this young disciple and bring all his disciples back together.

Qi Guanqing stayed with his youngest disciple for a while, then decided to visit his other disciples and retire with them.
As soon as he brought it up, his normally obedient youngest disciple turned cold, drugged him unconscious, and locked him away.
In a secret chamber, Qi Guanqing found letters his youngest disciple had intercepted.
Disciples 1, 2, 3, and 4: Master, don't go looking for Junior Brother. He went mad after you died!
Qi Guanqing: Too late. The place where he found these letters was full of his portraits.
His youngest disciple really had gone mad :)
