How Can a Cold and Aloof Immortal Venerable Be Merely a Kun?

Lu Zhiyao, the Dao Lord of Eternal Autumn from the Nine Heavens Mystic Sect, failed his tribulation and had his soul transmigrate into a melodramatic storybook. He became a concubine-born Kun Lord, a man married off in place of the household's legitimate son.

The original owner was frail and ugly, couldn't lift a finger, and was good for nothing but marriage and childbirth: a textbook cannon-fodder extra.

Lu Zhiyao, the True Immortal: ? I cultivate the path of immortality, not the path of marriage!

So,

A ruined house became a spirit spring, and a dry well brewed immortal wine;

Wild herbs across the mountains transformed into spirit medicines overnight;

Even the talismans he casually drew were treated as national treasures by mortals.

On the day he was married off in place of his younger brother to bring good fortune, the bridal sedan's curtain was lifted.

His skin was as pale as snow, and an immortal aura surrounded him. One glimpse was enough to set the entire capital abuzz.

Everyone: This is the uncouth country bumpkin they were talking about?

Even more unbelievable, this "bridegroom brought in to bring good fortune" ended a drought with a raised hand, broke a plague with a swing of his sword, and casually picked up three top-tier cultivation talents:

A young general with exceptional sword bones;

The prime minister's only son, gifted with extraordinary insight;

The crown prince, born with the bones of a cultivator.

All three said at once, "Our pheromones are the perfect match. We want to be your cultivation partners!"

Lu Zhiyao: ...I just wanted to take on a disciple.

On the night his pheromones flared, he chose the crown prince, the one he found most pleasing to the eye, to cure him. Then he split open a rift in space and time with one strike of his sword and returned to his sect, brushing off his sleeves.

"My debts in the mortal realm are settled. Do not disturb my path to ascension."

And yet his debts weren't settled. Instead, he ended up pregnant.

Three years later, at the Mystic Sect's grand ceremony,

a disciple reported, "A mortal has arrived with a child, claiming to be the Dao Lord's husband."

Lu Zhiyao: ???

Before the main hall, the former crown prince was dressed in rags and covered in bloodstains.

He held a toddler whose features were identical to his own, dropped to his knees before the elders with a thud, and declared in a thunderous voice:

"My wife seduced me and then abandoned me. I demand that the Mystic Sect grant me a proper title!"

The elders and disciples of the entire sect: ???

Lu Zhiyao, just entering a heat and wearing a murderous scowl: ...

Is it too late for him to join the Dual Cultivation Sect?
