Someone Always Wants to Ruin My Heartless Dao

Gu Yan was an unprecedented prodigy in the Hehuan Sect's thousand-year history. Though he belonged to the demonic path, he was as cool and pure as a cultivator of the righteous path, aloof and restrained. He was like a handful of snow atop a vast sea of clouds, clean and pure, captivating countless cultivators and haunting their dreams. They all wished to leave a trace of their own color on him. The year Gu Yan descended the mountain to travel the world as a Golden Core cultivator, they finally had their chance. Those who practiced the Hehuan Sect's cultivation arts had to find a prodigy from either the righteous or demonic path to dual cultivate with and absorb their essence while at the Golden Core stage. Only then could they shatter their core, form a nascent soul, and enter the Nascent Soul stage. The prodigies of both the righteous and demonic paths seemed to be on high alert, wary of him at every turn. In truth, they were all watching him in secret, waiting in silence. Everyone was waiting for this captivating prodigy to come to them. Later... Gu Yan wielded a sword named Lovesickness. With a single slash, it cleaved mountains and seas and overturned heaven and earth. Its swordlight shone coldly across the fourteen provinces. The prodigy gently stroked Lovesickness, the faintest hint of a smile at the corner of his eye. "Lovesickness Sword, Heartbroken Soul. What lovely names." And so, all the waiting prodigies had their hearts broken. The Sword Sect's Wind and Rain Sword Lord, who hated the demonic path most of all, fell to the demonic path. The Buddhist Son, whose heart was perfectly enlightened, stepped alone into the mortal world. The Valley Lord of the Medicine Valley, who was stingiest with pills, offered countless pills as a reward to the world. The Lord of Wuwang City, who had never touched alcohol, drank jar after jar of Lovesickness Wine... Yet the culprit behind it all merely swept his sleeves and left, without a trace of warmth. "I'll just keep pursuing the Great Dao. If that doesn't work, I'll switch paths." Why should he accept their advances? He would shatter his path and cultivate anew, turning to the Heartless Dao. He was no fragile, helpless snowflake, but a solitary mountain standing in the distance, proud and content in his own solitude. A simple, easy-to-understand version of the blurb: The protagonist descends the mountain and unwittingly flirts with countless prodigies. They all fall for him and wait, with great restraint, for Gu Yan to invite them to become his cultivation partners. But the protagonist simply turns around, sweeps his sleeves, and switches straight to the Heartless Dao. Gong-centric, Gu Yan is the gong. 1v1, the shou is a fragment.
