The Road to Immortality Is So Absurd

High school boy Bai Ling transmigrated three hundred years ago. His grandmaster saved the world by mending the heavens, his master spread wisdom and left a lasting legacy, and his senior brother was invincible among his generation... while he was the worst disciple at their sect. Because his cultivation technique could only level up through dual cultivation. Bai Ling was on his last legs when, just as he was about to die, his sect took in a new junior brother. The new disciple came from an illustrious family and had a sword bone by birth. He held himself and everyone else to strict standards, and regarded the unconventional Bai Ling as an abomination. But one accident brought Bai Ling into close contact with his junior brother, and his cultivation broke through. So dual cultivation actually gives points for every step?! Clinging to this glimmer of hope, Bai Ling relentlessly tried to throw his junior brother's Daoist heart into disarray. At last, his cultivation improved, and he managed to cling to life. As it turned out, his junior brother had misunderstood something from the very beginning. While Bai Ling was still secretly celebrating his points for each step, his junior brother was already prepared to dual cultivate with him. Bai Ling: Is this right? ...No, it isn't. Bai Ling: This is very wrong!!! His cultivation technique attracts one bad romance after another. Before the two of them can clear up their misunderstanding, Bai Ling is sitting at home when a Daoist partner drops from the sky. First, he marries his senior brother; second, he takes his master as his husband; third, he marries his grandmaster. That's right, all three overpowered men from his sect. His junior brother's gaze grows stranger by the day. He says, "Senior Brother, is this really your taste in Daoist partners?" Bai Ling: ... Pei Xiang asks, "Going by the order, am I next?" Bai Ling: … W-what is going on?! A naturally flirtatious bottom with a romantic streak who has no idea he's a heartbreaker (Bai Ling) ☆ A lofty, elegant top who knows he's hopelessly lovesick (Pei Xiang) ★ Please Note ☆ 1v1 HE, the couple is locked in and devoted only to each other. Not a harem story: the leads only have eyes for each other. None of the three marriages go through. I won't say more because of spoilers, but they're not just fragments of a relationship. ★ Content Notes ☆ Romance and plot progress together, with a small ensemble cast. There is a background side couple (only mentioned in the setup, with no interactions), so please take note if that bothers you ^_^ [Here's the next story in the same series, coming soon! Please add it to your favorites!] Gu Lian is the worst student at the sect. With no family or connections to speak of, he sticks out like a sore thumb among all the second-generation immortals. But he's cocky, talks back to his instructor, beats up his classmates, skips class to duel, and does every kind of mischief imaginable. At last, he's expelled. Xuan She is the most powerful person beneath the Heavenly Dao. He once defeated a host of demons, saved the human realm from disaster, set the red sun alight, and restored light to the skies. But he has no Daoist partner, let alone children, and the entire cultivation world is concerned about his love life. At last, he's going to take a disciple. And Xuan She wants to take Gu Lian as his disciple. People: "It's fine if you don't want a Daoist partner or an heir, but surely you don't have to settle for the worst of all worlds and take a little menace as your disciple? Immortal Master, please think twice!" Xuan She: "I think this child is clever and adorable..." The instructor Gu Lian talked back to: ? Xuan She: "I think this child is gentle and courteous..." The classmate Gu Lian beat up: ? Gu Lian: "I think I'm blessed with extraordinary immortal talent, a heaven-sent genius, peerless in the world and a once-in-a-thousand-years prodigy." Everyone: ??? Xuan She: "In any case, I like him very much. Gu Lian, are you willing to become my disciple?" Gu Lian: "No." Xuan She: ? #What's it like to turn down the most powerful person beneath the Heavenly Dao? # #Thanks for asking. I almost got hunted down by the entire cultivation world. # Gu Lian won't become someone's disciple without knowing why. He wants to know why Xuan She wants him, and it seems to have something to do with his family being wiped out ten years ago. But they are far apart, and the road ahead of the young man is long. If he wants to question the immortal master and learn the truth, he must first make his way to him. The first step of his journey: return to the sect where the immortal master teaches. Gu Lian: ? Gu Lian: You should've said so earlier! I just rejected him in front of everyone! A naturally beautiful, wild-hearted, childlike killing machine of a bottom (Gu Lian) ☆ A self-sacrificing, saintly top who would rather the world wrong him than he wrong the world (Xuan She) P.S. Planning to start posting in spring 2026 =v= Theme: The sun always comes out after the storms, lightning, thunder, and the world falling apart.
