Before Xie Chencang died, everyone cursed him. After his death, everyone celebrated. He was a hands-off master at Quechen Peak, with enemies everywhere and several disciples who turned out to be utter failures. He was practically the cultivation world's poster child for going against the grain.
But after he was reborn, he discovered...
His second disciple had attained the Dao and ascended to immortality, restoring his good name. A hundred years later, Xie Chencang had somehow become the cultivation world's beloved moonlight.

Yan Tingwu thought he had seen a shaft of pure light.

"Master, please, don't leave me again."
Xie Chencang, who had already prepared to flee on his sword, whipped around: ...??
