I Was Forced to Cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness

The blurb may change at any time before the main story begins. Readers who mind should think twice before bookmarking. Lu Jin zun has exceptional roots and remarkable talent. When he first joins an immortal sect, he becomes a disciple of Yan Yingxue, the greatest sword cultivator in the world. Yan Yingxue holds an exalted position and has never taken a disciple before. On the day he accepts one, Lu Jin zun stands among the crowd while Yan Yingxue stands on the stage, with snow-white hair, long lashes, and silver robes. He looks every bit the immortal. Someone nearby tells Lu Jin zun, "That's Immortal Yingxue, the cultivator with the highest cultivation. He follows the Unfeeling Dao." The immortal comes down, lowers his eyes, and strokes the crown of Lu Jin zun's head. "You are suited to the Unfeeling Dao. From today onward, you are my sole disciple." But after a full ten years of cultivation, Lu Jin zun still can't enter the Unfeeling Dao. Yan Yingxue calls over a friend to help figure out what's wrong with him. After examining him, the friend looks troubled. "Your little disciple could cultivate for another ten years and still never enter the Unfeeling Dao, because he has feelings for you." Lu Jin zun stands outside the door, silent. Yan Yingxue says calmly, "So what if he has feelings? He has feelings, and I do not. Nothing can come of it. Let him be." It's only some illusory romance. In the end, he'll still enter the Unfeeling Dao. The next day, Lu Jin zun kneels outside Yan Yingxue's door. "Master, I may not be able to cultivate the Unfeeling Dao." He speaks softly. "I have feelings for you." Yan Yingxue falls silent for a moment. "This defies all proper relations. You and I can never be together." Snow covers Lu Jin zun. He lowers his head. "I know. Please expel me from the mountain, Master." Yan Yingxue says, "As your master, rather than watch you suffer over an unrequited love and waste your talent, I would rather personally sever your attachment and let you cultivate the Unfeeling Dao and accomplish great things." Yan Yingxue ties Lu Jin zun to the mountaintop of Yingxue and lets the freezing snow blow over him for forty-nine days with the Seven-Kill Nails. He erases every memory Lu Jin zun has of loving him, and Lu Jin zun still cultivates the Unfeeling Dao. Later... Yan Yingxue goes mad from cultivating the Unfeeling Dao while consumed by desire. Kneeling before Lu Jin zun, his eyes bloodshot, he says, "I have feelings for you, my disciple." Lu Jin zun holds an umbrella and looks at Yan Yingxue as if in pity. "Master, it's not that I don't want to love you. But I've cultivated the Unfeeling Dao. I can't love anyone anymore." *An old-school story with plenty of melodrama, told in the classic flashback style. It opens after the receiving character has finished cultivating the Unfeeling Dao and the fire-pit chase begins. A stunning, cold master who truly had no desires, then went mad cultivating the Unfeeling Dao, as the attacking character x a lively, adorable little disciple who later becomes overwhelmingly powerful. Theme: You always have to pay for what you do.
