A Journey Through Heaven and Earth

(I occasionally make little revisions on a whim. Please support the official release! Thank you~)

[Before reading:

1. My first novel, from a new author.]

Blurb 1 (unhinged version):

The little immortal's teacher has died, collapsing into the pool where the little immortal usually bathes. The little immortal holds his teacher's horns and rubs them over and over, hoping to give him a little warmth from the living...

Then someone suddenly jumps out of the water. The little immortal is startled. He stops rubbing the horns, stops sleeping, and stops bathing.

The person he pulled out wears an icy expression and holds a blade that could kill someone... a scythe, pointed right at the little immortal's throat.

"Who are you? What are you doing?"

"I... I'm human. I was scrubbing myself..."

Blurb 2 (original version):

Xuan Qiong accidentally enters Peach Blossom Spring and nearly drowns.

The one who saves him is a little immortal, innocent and naive, who finds him utterly fascinating.

Xuan Qiong looks for his sword, and the other follows him. Xuan Qiong cooks, and the other watches. Xuan Qiong performs magic tricks, and the other smiles.

So Xuan Qiong smiles, too.

The little immortal asks, "What is a human?"

Xuan Qiong replies, "Someone with feelings and principles, flesh and blood, is human."

"Then what is a good person?"

Xuan Qiong plucks a peach blossom and smiles. "Someone like me is a good person."

"Call me big brother, and I'll give you a garden full of spring blossoms that no one can keep behind a fence."

*

Everyone in the sect knows that their senior brother, Xuan Qiong, brought a little immortal back from Peach Blossom Spring.

The little immortal looks cold as ice, but when he smiles, he's warm as sunshine.

Someone asks, "Little immortal, how did you meet our senior brother?"

The little immortal says, "I found him in the river."

That one find lasted forever.

1. Complete.

2. A sect senior brother top who cooks delicious food (in the later chapters), Xuan Qiong x an innocent little immortal bottom, Chang Ying.

3. One-on-one, slow burn, mostly told from the top's perspective, then the bottom's. The bottom appears in chapter three. Their romance isn't angsty. I came up with the story in 2020, and my early writing wasn't very polished. I may not have handled the pacing and prose very well, but I'll gradually revise it later. Thanks for pointing out errors~

A currently serialized doppelganger romance. If you're interested, check out my profile!

[Practicing the Heavenly Dao]

Bian Yuxun transmigrates into a book, specifically a casual story he wrote to amuse himself.

He thinks his feelings for the protagonist are complicated. He wants to be the protagonist's... dad.

So the doting old father starts gathering treasures from across the world to give to his dear son.

He gives the protagonist a spirit pill, and Bu Chengchen smashes it. He gives him a secret manual, and Bu Chengchen burns it. He gives him delicious food, and Bu Chengchen eats it.

Bian Yuxun: I created you. Listen to me.

Bu Chengchen: I destroyed you. Just watch.

Protagonist: ...

Bian Yuxun: ...

Where did this Bu Chengchen even come from? Why does he oppose Bian Yuxun at every turn? Bian Yuxun swears he never wrote a character like him, never!

*

Case closed: It turns out Bu Chengchen is Bian Yuxun's future self. When Bian Yuxun learns the truth, he's a little dazed, because at some point his heart has started racing out of control.

What should he do...

Bian Yuxun: Seeking advice from all the immortal sects. What should I do if I looked in the mirror and realized I have a crush on my own face?

Immortal sects: ...

Bu Chengchen: Give it a try.

After trying it...

Bian Yuxun: (in tears) If I chop off my own junk, will I never have to go through this again?

Bian Yuxun: (sighing) For the first time in my life, I regret being so virile.

*

The Land of Primordial Unity is where humans, demons, and monsters coexist. In its midst stands a mist-shrouded spirit peak, just like their former home. As the sun rises, Bian Yuxun stares into the clouds, lost in thought.

Bu Chengchen: I'm curious. Among all the people you love, has anyone ever loved you?

Bian Yuxun: I'm curious too. If you don't love the people of this world, who can you love?

They fall silent. The only answer seems to be the person right in front of them.

The Great Dao is formless. It turns out every answer lies within "me."

Cultivating immortality is a way to meet yourself.

At that moment, Bian Yuxun and Bu Chengchen, who had been prevented from ascending by the old Heavenly Dao, suddenly reach enlightenment and ascend.

[Bu Chengchen, the top who is determined to destroy the Heavenly Dao and its chosen son, x Bian Yuxun, the bottom who thinks he is the Heavenly Dao and diligently raises its chosen son]

Theme: May you and I, after weathering every hardship, still keep kind hearts and treat everyone who loves us and everyone we love with sincerity.
