The Seventh Year After the Immortal Lord's Death

[Updated daily at 21:00. If there's no update, it'll be posted the next day. ^O^]

Surgeon Pei Jue transmigrated into a cultivation novel as a sickly, doomed immortal lord. After exhausting himself to eke out another ten years of life, he decided to do what he wanted. He set up a laboratory in the sect and started teaching medical courses to the disciples.

Seeing that he'd come to terms with things, his disciples couldn't sit still and began offering all sorts of ideas to extend his life.

His blood-donor disciple generously offered blood every so often. Pei Jue was touched and gently declined.

His poison-raising disciple grew a cluster of black mushrooms on his arm and told him to eat them while they were fresh. Pei Jue was touched and gently refused.

His beastkin disciple dug out a bloody demonic beast core and secretly hid it in his room. Pei Jue was touched and gently returned it.

Fortunately, the male lead, who had a cauldron constitution, always stayed calm. Pei Jue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But one day, the male lead suddenly said, "Master, have you ever considered dual cultivation with your disciple?"

Pei Jue was touched and gently... Wait, what?!

The chaotic days went by, but in the end, he couldn't escape death.

So he took one last look at his disciples, then left the sect in his frail state and went alone to the forbidden lands of the demon race. He would kill the original story's cruel, bloodthirsty Demon Lord, who would one day destroy the world, and clear the way for his sect and disciples.

If he had to die anyway, at least he could die for a worthy cause.

Pei Jue did die, but not completely. Seven years later, his consciousness inexplicably awoke.

He drifted back to the sect. Though he'd been dead for years, the sect had grown stronger, and his disciples had become ever more composed and powerful. He was deeply gratified. But why was one disciple missing? Where was the male lead?

Pei Jue lingered for days, unable to find the male lead. Just as worry overwhelmed him, his consciousness suddenly cut out. When he woke again, he had a body, but before his eyes lay a cavern thick with bloodlust, and... the Demon Lord who had fallen into the abyss with him.

Pei Jue couldn't move. He could only let the Demon Lord hold his chin and brush against the corner of his lips, as if restraining himself, before branding his pale neck with an indelible mark.

"Immortal Lord, don't you recognize your disciple?"

The Demon Lord's face was dark as he finished, then his features shifted in a daze. It was the missing male lead.

*

In the seventh year after the Immortal Lord's death, his disciples headed one after another to the Endless Abyss, searching for that familiar aura that had appeared only briefly.

Little did they know the Demon Lord, who had vanished without a trace, was refining his own body at the cost of his life, all so that the gentle smile from the past might return.

Lu Jue was the youngest emperor in the history of Great Yan. His ruthless methods terrified everyone, but unfortunately, he died of illness at the age of twenty.

When he opened his eyes, however, he'd become the emperor a hundred years later.

The emperor was handsome and healthy, but devoted to the Dao and indifferent to state affairs. In a few years, the young master of the Gu family, Gu Zhuo, would usurp the throne and kill him.

When Lu Jue arrived, the young master was still frail, and also the most beautiful man in the capital. He seemed to pose no threat at all.

Lu Jue brought Gu Zhuo into the palace that very night and studied him carefully. He lifted his chin and smiled, a smile both wild and captivating.

"I feel an instant kinship with you. Would you stay and keep me company?"

The young man raised his long, narrow eyes. His peerless beauty glowed in the candlelight, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

"It would be my honor, Your Majesty."

They exchanged smiles. Lu Jue discreetly put away the poison in his hand, while Gu Zhuo quietly hid his sharp dagger.

Assassins attacked, and blood splattered everywhere.

Lu Jue was injured by accident. His blood silently trickled down his fingers. He breathed slowly and ordered someone to summon the frail young master, Gu Zhuo.

The young master's lashes trembled. He looked terribly afraid, yet gently took Lu Jue's lustrous, jade-white fingertip into his mouth and swallowed the remaining blood, like a venomous snake feeding.

Lu Jue lazily lifted his gaze, then pulled his finger away and glanced at the man pretending to submit.

"Wipe it clean."

Gu Zhuo looked down. Lu Jue's finger still bore traces of him. With the faint red at the corner of Lu Jue's eye, it looked as if he'd just fallen into desire, mesmerizing beyond words. Gu Zhuo's gaze darkened further as he reverently wiped Lu Jue's fingertip.

No one knew how badly he wanted to take the proud man before him apart and devour him.
