Hanying was the strongest immortal lord, only one step away from becoming a god. The Heavenly Way told him that to ascend to godhood, someone else had to take his place as an immortal lord, and that person could only be the useless second son of the Rui family in the cultivation world.
Hanying felt that becoming a god really wasn’t as easy as he’d imagined. The Heavenly Way was making things difficult for him with an impossible task like this. Still, he would try his best.
He read every book in the mortal world and studied methods such as the three moves of Mencius’s mother, balancing work and rest, and relieving stress.
At long last, he raised Rui Lin to become an immortal lord, and he became a god.
He thought he was invincible, but the moment his disciple ascended, he pinned Hanying down and poured out more than a century of love, then joined forces with the Heavenly Way to force him into a cultivation bond.
This disciple was a mistake.

Rui Lin believed his life had been nothing but lucky.
He was a good-for-nothing son of the Rui family, yet he had a better sect than anyone else. The strongest immortal lord in the world taught and protected him.
He knew everyone in the cultivation world was laughing at him. What could someone with mixed spiritual roots accomplish, even with the strongest cultivator as his master? Even Rui Lin had thought the same. But his master took him to the highest peak, pointed down at the world below, and said, "The world is bustling and noisy, but you alone are my disciple. Don’t let other people’s futures limit your own."
Rui Lin felt as if he had woken from a dream.
For the first time, he wanted to become stronger than his master, strong enough to make his master accept the feelings he could never speak of.
Then heaven and earth shifted, and the Heavenly Way changed hands.
After being struck by heavenly lightning, he shed his mortal body and knelt before his master. Hooking a finger around the end of his master’s hair, he smiled and said, "Weave our hair together and become husband and wife. Master, be my cultivation partner."
