The Entire Cultivation World Reveres Me as a God

(I'll update eventually. Give me a little time to get my thoughts in order.)

Chu Yu has been alone for as long as he can remember, with a silver sword by his side.

Later, when Lingxu Sect holds its once-in-a-decade entrance ceremony, Chu Yu picks up that sword again and vows to slay demons and eliminate evil.

Mortals live for a century, while cultivators can live for hundreds of years. At the ceremony, the immortal master Mo Linyuan, who has never accepted a disciple, chooses him.

Whispers keep reaching his ears: "Those eyes and brows look so much like..."

The boy in the middle of the crowd lowers his eyes and pretends not to hear.

There are two places in the cultivation world that are almost impossible to enter: the Returning Heart Pavilion of Lingxu Sect, and the departed Demon Venerable's Netherworld Palace.

Inside the pavilion is a portrait of a handsome, graceful man, so strikingly beautiful that he seems otherworldly. The painter has written beside it: "The one my heart loves."

Inside the Netherworld Palace is a lifelike stone carving that looks just like a real person.

Legend says one was drawn by the immortal master Mo Linyuan himself, and the other carved by the late Demon Venerable Zun Wu. Both works depict the same person, whose name has been forbidden in the cultivation world for a hundred years.

Chu Yu looks at the secret gossip Li Chen has stuffed into his hands: On the Love and Hate Between Gu Yu and His Junior Brother Mo Linyuan and His Archrival Zun Wu.

His mouth twitches strangely. This cultivation world...

Is it actually a proper cultivation world?

Lingxu Sect has no shortage of talented and diligent disciples, but ever since Chu Yu arrived, he has spent two hours running every morning after paying his respects to his master, two hours carrying water and training his body, three hours meditating, two hours calming his mind, and two hours reading in the library...

He doesn't notice his senior sister stroking his hand while giving him a "secret manual," his senior brother putting an arm around his waist while teaching him a tender sword form, his junior sister's tender gaze, or the complicated emotions in his junior brother's eyes.

While others date beneath the flowers and moonlight, he practices swordsmanship beneath the flowers and moonlight...

While others stay up late looking at erotic pictures, he stays up late studying sword techniques...

While others nod off during theory class, he sits up straight and listens attentively.

So everyone realizes: He really does love cultivating!

Chu Yu attempts the "Buzhou Mountain Trial" once every three months. At first, nobody pays attention to his rank, which is in the tens of thousands. Later, they realize that his ranking keeps climbing higher and higher, until everyone across the six domains is stunned: "Dude, are you cheating?"

Later, Chu Yu notices that more and more people have started following him on his morning runs, that more people gather around him after class to ask questions, and that plenty of people are sneaking around on his way to the library.

He thought he could just join them if he couldn't beat them, but this is way too dull.

They want to kneel and beg him to stop overworking, but when they kneel, Chu Yu works even harder.

For the 108th time, Chu Yu declares: "I love studying. I want to be with my studies for the rest of my life!"

The bottom: "Who's this Study?"

Chu Yu: "?"

"At first they called themselves the champions of overwork. Later, they called themselves gods."

-A chaste, cultivation-obsessed savior top x a bottom with many split personalities-

Come join the grand game of Guess the Bottom's True Identity, also known as "I'm Jealous of Myself"...

* Strong leads. The top is popular with both men and women, and has the makings of an all-around protagonist adored by everyone. My own take on cultivation. Ship whoever you like, maybe they're all split personalities of the bottom (evil grin...). There will be bonus chapters for each of the different routes.
