(Upcoming story, subject to change)
After transmigrating into a book, Pei Yi is bound to a disciple-training System.
For every disciple he trains successfully, he gains a level of cultivation. If he ruins even one disciple, he'll be sent back to his original world.
Come on, in his original world, he was a top rich kid who did nothing but eat, drink, and enjoy life. That's a hundred times better than fasting to cultivate immortality.
Ruin his disciples? Please. He, Pei, doesn't know a thing about cultivation. Ruining disciples will be a piece of cake.
Pei Yi to his eldest disciple: "Good disciple, your master will teach you the Nine Swords of Dugu, a sword style invented by the great master Jin Yong. If you can comprehend it, you'll attain the Dao."
A month later, the eldest disciple reports: "Master, I gazed at the stars last night and understood the meaning of solitude. At last, I attained the Dao!"
·
Pei Yi to his second disciple: "Good disciple, your senior brother gazed at the stars and became a master swordsman through a sudden epiphany. Starting today, you too shall face the wall and seek enlightenment. Do nothing else! Your own opportunity will come."
A month later, the second disciple reports: "Master, while gazing at the stars, I accidentally fell off the mountain. But I found a medical text below, and now I've attained the Dao!"
·
Pei Yi to his third disciple: "Good disciple, the mountain is dangerous. Starting today, read books in the study. A beautiful woman is hidden in every book, and reading is good for your cultivation."
A month later, the third disciple reports: "Master, while reading, I comprehended all things in the world. I've now cultivated an array and attained the Dao!"
After Pei Yi's lessons, all his disciples become famous masters across the land.
Eldest disciple: "My swordsmanship is astounding, but it's not even one ten-thousandth as good as my master's."
Second disciple: "The world calls me a divine physician, but how would you know that my master is the true greatest under heaven?"
Third disciple: "I still have to form hand seals to enter an array, while my master can destroy heaven and earth with a wave of his hand."
Pei Yi's inner thoughts: Guys! Do you know we're not the protagonists, but cannon fodder? Guys, do you know this book is called Annihilate the Gods, and it's about the male lead beating all the big shots to death?
#What the hell are these titles? Take them back!#
#You wicked disciples, how dare you stab your master in the back!#
#You damn heavens, I think you have it in for me, Pei!#
After countless hardships, Pei Yi finally finds a little fool with not a single spiritual root.
Not even the spiritual roots ordinary mortals have? This kid is destined to be useless! Perfect! He'll be my last disciple.
If I, Pei, can't even ruin this kid, how will I face my ancestors?
The child studies and trains hard, but his cultivation drops instead of rising, and he feels miserable. Pei Yi gently pats his head and gives him an endless stream of motivational speeches: "Yan'er, bamboo doesn't grow for three years because it's putting down roots deep beneath the earth. I know your talent better than anyone! A little delay is nothing!"
The child ranks dead last in the sect and is mocked. Pei Yi appears out of nowhere to fiercely defend him: "Yan'er, from today on, move into the bamboo hut outside my room. I'll teach you personally."
When someone discovers the child has demonic blood, he tearfully tells Pei Yi, "Master, I'm not a demon. Please don't abandon me!"
What a joke. Would he, Pei, care about that? Wouldn't being a demon be even better? Starting today, he'll cultivate immortal arts. Pei, he, doesn't believe even a demon can succeed at cultivating immortality!
So Pei Yi smiles gently at the child. "Humans and demons are no different. What matters is the heart. No matter what Yan'er becomes, your master will never give up on you!"
Chu Huai, the original male lead, the reincarnation of the greatest Demon Lord under heaven, now a memoryless and ignorant child, outwardly without spiritual roots but secretly possessing eight kinds, once plunged the realms of humans, demons, and gods into chaos, and gifted beyond compare, grows up safe under Pei Yi's care.
"Master really is the best," the little demon kid chirps.
"Master said you would never give up on me. No matter what happens, this disciple will never give up either!"
Theme: Deep devotion! A love that stands the test of time
