Transmigrated as the Dao-Proving Partner of a Battle-Worn Immortal Venerable

(Weibo: Guanzhaozhao) The immortal venerable is the gong! An immortal venerable, not a master! Younger gong, older shou! The shou is older than the gong, thank you. What is it like to transmigrate into a book on a mission to help an immortal venerable prove his path of ruthless cultivation, only to accidentally cultivate duality with him? Yan Zizhi: Thanks for asking. My legs are weak. This is a xianxia novel that readers returned in bulk. In the story, the immortal venerable Lingyuan refused to slaughter his fellow disciples while proving his path of ruthless cultivation, and ultimately took his own life. The image of the wounded immortal venerable became an enduring regret in the hearts of countless readers. To honor the readers' wishes (and avoid refunds), the System sent the great demon Yan Zizhi into the book. Demon Venerable Yan Zizhi was heartless and ruthless, with vicious methods. Surely he could help the immortal venerable achieve the Great Way of Ruthlessness! But on the very first day Yan Zizhi transmigrated into the book, he cultivated duality with the immortal venerable! He comforted the sobbing System. "It's fine. I can deceive him and then abandon him. That'll help him achieve his ruthless path too." So he looked at the immortal venerable with disdain. "These days, every immortal venerable is the abstinent type. I'm bored of it. I suggest trying a different style." After being pinned down for an entire day and night, Yan Zizhi emerged leaning against the wall. "It's fine. I have another idea." Kill his wife to prove the Way! So, surrounded by countless demons, he seized the immortal sword in Lingyuan's hand and drove it into himself, tempering his soul as he died to help Lingyuan prove his path. #Only then did Lingyuan learn that the pain of enduring eighty-one heavenly tribulations, each one tearing at his heart and entrails, was not even a fraction of the pain he felt when that person died.# Yan Zizhi, who had actually taken the opportunity to fake his death: Bye, you little fools! This venerable one is done playing with you! Yan Zizhi logged back in, ready to enjoy his life as a demon after transmigrating into a book. But the cold God Venerable, who stood between heaven and earth and loved no one, sensed someone's presence, cleaved open the gates of the immortal realm with a single sword, and descended into the mortal world to corner Yan Zizhi. "Do you like this style?" His voice was dangerous and plaintive. "If you don't, we can try a different one every day. This venerable one believes that, given enough time, you'll fall for me." Yan Zizhi, with aching legs and a sore waist: ??? A story about how a demon uses his charms to turn a pure, innocent little-bunny immortal venerable into a big bad wolf. Yan Zizhi: A capricious, flirtatious, all-talk great demon shou Lingyuan: An abstinent-looking, actually scheming, beautifully wounded immortal venerable gong Important: 1v1, with a mountain of personal worldbuilding. Entirely fictional. A silly comedy, a silly comedy! Cover art by artist We Lou, used with permission. Coming soon: After Shattering the Immortal Venerable's Ruthless Dao Heart (immortal venerable gong) When Xiao Huaizhou found Xie Chunshan, he was gravely injured. The tendons and bones in the hands that wielded his sword were shattered, and his immortal power was gone. He was more fragile than an ordinary mortal. Xiao Huaizhou searched everywhere for rare medicines and spent everything the capital had to heal Xie Chunshan, until he sent this bright moon, hanging high above all others, back to the summit of the immortal sect to receive the worship of thousands. But on the day Xiao Huaizhou was besieged from all sides, enemy cavalry surrounded the city, and the kingdom teetered on the brink of collapse, Xie Chunshan, now in a position of power within the sect, was elegant to his very bones yet utterly indifferent. "Dynasties rise and fall as fate decrees." Only then did Xiao Huaizhou learn that Xie Chunshan cultivated the path of ruthless cultivation. Reborn once more, Xiao Huaizhou looked at the dying Xie Chunshan before him and brought him back to the capital again without hesitation. He imprisoned Xie Chunshan and pressed his bare foot against the man's shoulder. His toes traced the hollow of the man's collarbone, then pushed aside the last scraps of clothing on his shoulder. "I hear you, Daoist Lord Xie, cultivate the path of ruthless cultivation. Can you really be without feeling?" In this life, he would shatter Xie Chunshan's Dao heart. He would make this bright moon, hanging high above all others, sink into the mire with him on the day the kingdom fell and be buried alongside him. But he didn't see that, the moment Xie Chunshan lowered his head, his gaze lingered on Xiao Huaizhou's smooth ankle, the possessiveness in his eyes startlingly intense.
