The Cautious Sword Sovereign: Gaining Longevity by Reversing an Ancestor's Possession

Lin Yuan has always believed in the truth of the cultivation world: live long enough, and you become truly invincible.

So when the clan's Foundation Establishment ancestor kindly offers to pass on his power and help Lin Yuan reach Foundation Establishment, his first thought isn't gratitude. It's: This old bastard wants to possess me!

After three years of careful planning, he spends a fortune on a Soul-Locking Jade and Soul-Destroying Talismans, then successfully turns the tables on the ancestor on the night of the possession attempt.

“Ancestor, you taught me that the cultivation world is the survival of the fittest...”

“So rest in peace.”

After gaining the ancestor's memories, he discovers that the whole clan is rotten to the core: the main branch bullies others, colludes with demonic cultivators, and the ancestor has possessed clan members before.

A clan like this may as well be wiped out.

Taking Foundation Establishment Pills, two hundred years of experience, and an absolutely cautious Dao Heart, he flees to Qingyang Commandery.

If he can ambush, he never fights head-on. If he can use a secret identity, he never shows his true self. If he can pick up a bargain, he never takes a head-on fight.

From then on, the cultivation world gains its most cautious sword cultivator.

He may keep his hand until the moment he strikes, but when he does, he wipes out the whole clan!

From Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, from Nascent Soul to Spirit Transformation, he cultivates an unparalleled sword intent within his Geng Metal Body, ultimately cleaving open Heaven's Gate with a single strike and proving the Dao through tribulation.

This is the story of a schemer who turns the tables on another schemer, then becomes an even more formidable one.
