The Ancestor of the Mystic Sect Became a Fake Heiress and Went Viral on a Variety Show

[This novel is complete. It will enter the paid section starting from Chapter 18 on February 9. If you've already read it, there's no need to buy it again. I hope you'll support the official release!]

The great celestial master Li Yiling had already ascended, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself a hundred years in the future, in an age when spiritual cultivation had fallen into decline. She had also become a minor celebrity who had committed suicide.

She immediately cast a divination to find out what was going on.

The celebrity was the fake heiress in a wealthy family's switched-at-birth scandal. Once her identity was exposed, she was kicked out of the family, blacklisted across the internet, betrayed by the real heiress, and frozen out by her agency. Finally, she had nowhere left to turn.

But the switched-at-birth incident all those years ago, and the family's turning against her now, had both been schemes by the real heiress's parents.

Looking at the suspicious invitation to a dating reality show, Li Yiling quickly made up her mind.

With the Daoist faith in decline, this show could help her avenge the original owner and revive the Daoist tradition.

Soon, her haters were astonished to find that the affected, pretentious fake heiress had become a bizarre force of nature on the show.

On the dating show:

While everyone else gazed at the stars and moon and fell in love, Li Yiling lit lamps, prayed to the stars, and absorbed the moon's essence.

While the others fought in the kitchen, Li Yiling studied how the Eight Trigrams affected the success rate of refining pills in a pressure cooker.

While everyone else talked about love and hate during interviews, Li Yiling advertised for all sorts of deities and drummed up incense offerings.

Haters: The fake heiress actually dares to go on a dating show? Just watch me humiliate her.

During the haunted-house challenge, while the other guests rescued damsels in distress and grew closer, Li Yiling summoned thunder with a yellow talisman and struck down a ghost employee. Then she pulled out an ad slogan she'd just learned: "For thunder magic, trust the Celestial Worthy of Universal Transformation of the Nine Heavens. Banish evil in ten seconds, guaranteed, with no pollution left behind!"

Haters: ...Nice.

Li Yiling won the title of "Official Spokesperson for the Immortals" and shot to fame overnight.

The day she became famous, her adoptive parents tearfully claimed that the fake heiress had bribed the director, that the show was scripted, and that she had maliciously targeted the real heiress.

Li Yiling responded on Weibo: "The gods watch from three feet above our heads. We should fear not what others know, but what we ourselves know."

She attached a picture of Wang Lingguan, with the caption: "Share this divine inspector, offer incense, and help him eliminate evil."

The gossip-hungry public shared it, half believing and half doubting. Quite a few declared, "That dating show was obviously scripted. She's trying to clear her name with occult tricks. Fat chance!"

The next day, the parents who had maliciously switched the babies lost their entire fortune overnight and went to prison for child trafficking. The real heiress and her scumbag boyfriend turned on each other, and both had their reputations ruined!

The internet dropped to its knees:

"That's our Sister Ling: ruthless and a woman of few words!"

"Sister Ling, please introduce us to a few more immortals who can protect us!"

Li Yiling's stunts grew more outrageous by the day. A rising star of the mystical arts questioned her: "With no family tradition and no respected master, how could someone so young have such cultivation unless she's using unorthodox magic?"

Li Yiling responded by pulling rank on him several generations over.

The leader of the modern mystical arts personally verified her identity: "Let me introduce you to our founding patriarch, @Li Yiling."

The leaders of all thirty-six schools of the mystical arts reposted it, followed by high-ranking cultivators and virtuous masters.

That night, Weibo crashed. The number-one trending topic was:

#PayingRespectsToOurFoundingPatriarch#

My next upcoming novel: Immortals as My Cheat Codes: Dominating the Occult Reality Show. If you're interested, please add it to your collection.

Blurb:

After inheriting a Daoist temple, Lin Zhizhi dreamed of her sect's founding patriarch. When she woke, she discovered that closing her eyes let her enter a library of Daoist texts. She could browse the scriptures of the Three Caverns and Four Supplements at will, while all sorts of immortals took turns descending to the mortal realm to make sure she studied!

With an immortal's bones and her name in the celestial register, every Daoist technique in the world was open to her. The gods in heaven were her cheat codes. How could she not make a splash?

So on the first day of the occult reality show's run, Lin Zhizhi arrived full of confidence.

While others furrowed their brows over birth charts and compatibility, Lin Zhizhi reached into her sleeve and pulled out...

A marriage compatibility certificate with the Matchmaker's red thread seal!

While others cautiously and nervously pursued evil spirits into Fengdu, Lin Zhizhi put on a little red cap and raised a little red flag.

"Let's go! Fengdu's newly opened five-star tourist attraction is open for the first time, and I'm its promotional ambassador!"

While others filled their daily vlogs with drawing talismans and raising poisonous insects, Lin Zhizhi put on a straw hat, went into an orchard, and carried out a juicy peach.

The livestream comments laughed at her for not taking the show seriously.

Lin Zhizhi said, "The Queen Mother of the West's Immortal Peaches are now available in our online store! For just 999, take home a peach that will extend your life!"

The entire stock sold out that day. The whole country went wild trying to get one!
