The Peony Banquet

That year, he had just transformed into human form. The man was a Daoist priest who entered the mountains in search of medicine and became acquainted with him. After discovering his true identity, the priest wanted to take his horns and refine them into pills, but was later wounded by an enemy and died during a heavenly tribulation.

Three hundred years later, before attaining the Dao, he descended to the mortal realm to undergo a trial. He and that man were reborn into the imperial clan of the last Yan dynasty. The man was obsessed with power and wanted nothing more than to get rid of him. He slaughtered all of his friends and family, yet in the end, died taking a sword meant for him.

Now he has long since attained the Dao and joined the ranks of the immortals, while that man still struggles amid the mortal world.
