I Was Supposed to Seek Longevity by Laying Low, So Why Am I Getting More and More Reckless?

Li Xuan began his journey of reincarnation and immortal cultivation with the Three-Lives Bell. He had died and lost his cultivation in each of his first two lives. In his final life, he decided to lie low until he reached the Nascent Soul stage, then uncover the Three-Lives Bell's secrets once and for all and steadily seek immortality!

He was supposed to make friends far and wide, develop cautiously, and quietly carve out a smooth path to success before making a stunning entrance.

But... things weren't going as planned.

To avoid attracting attention, he switched to a cultivation method with a slow, steady flow of qi. So why was it getting faster the more he practiced?

To avoid standing out from the crowd, he decided to lie low in a spirit herb garden as an anonymous nobody. But then he heard the clan head was marrying off his daughter, and I was the groom!?

It wasn't until Li Xuan was forced to kill someone for the first time, and the Three-Lives Bell absorbed a faint trace of their life force...

that he understood: the so-called path of caution didn't mean remaining unknown, and being fierce didn't necessarily mean making a name for yourself in public.

Naturally, Li Xuan found a broad road that combined “strength and restraint”...

Many years later, Li Xuan successfully cultivated an Immortal Nascent Soul, and the Three-Lives Bell inside him erupted in a sea of blood-red light. When people of the age recognized his face...

“That's right, I saw him crush the sect leader's skull with his bare hands!”

“The one who killed people and took their nascent souls was Old Demon Li. I'm sure of it!”

“He did all of it...”

Li Xuan scoffed:

“I, Li, have always been known for my prudence. How could I possibly make enemies?”
