Sorry, Senior Brother, I Cultivate the Heartless Path Too

At the end of each year, the cultivation world publishes its ascension statistics. The Heartless Path has the lowest graduation rate.

The Heartless Path is difficult to cultivate. Part of the reason is that people get caught up in the anguish of love and can't break free. Another part is that... in an era when everyone is busy breaking through, fighting, breaking through, and fighting, they don't even get the chance to fall in love.

As the saying goes, to withdraw from the world, one must first enter it. Those who cultivate the Heartless Path must first experience love before they can break free of it.

Before the Immortal Realm Conference, the master called the female lead over and said with a worried frown, "Your senior brother is about to become a chronic case of academic probation."

The female lead's senior brother is cold-hearted and unemotional. His lips seem sealed shut, and he never wants to say a word. He only looks at everyone with icy eyes. The uncles hate teaching him so much that they even put together a ranking of the hardest disciples to teach. The only contestant, and the one at the top, is her senior brother.

He has incredible talent, but unfortunately, he chose the Heartless Path, the hardest path to graduate from.

After a long talk through the night, the female lead takes on the task of fostering friendly relations among the sect and sets out to help her senior brother complete his Heartless Path cultivation.

From then on, she becomes a little tail trailing behind him.

For the next three hundred years, whenever people could see this ice-cold senior brother, they could also see the female lead.

Her senior brother always watched coldly as she circled around him. For hundreds of years, his expression never changed.

But when the sky fell over the cultivation world, he held the female lead from behind, bowed his head, and buried his face deep in the side of her neck.

When the master heard, he clapped his hands in delight. "The path is about to be completed!"

On the night of their Dao Companion ceremony, the senior brother drew his sword. Its tip trembled for a long moment, but then he used it to undo the sash around his waist. "From now on... I won't cultivate the Heartless Path anymore."

The Dao energy within his dantian shattered in an instant, and his meridians snapped one by one. Yet he merely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and tried to smile at the female lead. His voice was gentler than ever. "Come here. Let your senior brother hold you."

The next second, a flying sword pierced his chest.

The female lead withdrew her sword and said with a smile, "Sorry, senior brother. The path I cultivate... is also the Heartless Path."

The path was completed, and the Heartless Calamity descended from the heavens.

In the sect, the master was filled with pride. "At last, the Heartless Path has been completed."

"Huh? But Senior Brother XX's soul flame has gone out!"

The master: "What???!!!"
