Begin By Following The Example Of All Demons And Become A True Immortal

In the vast landscape of Xianxia literature, where the tropes of righteous sects and predictable ascensions often dominate, Lu Yue Shi Jiu’s Begin By Following The Example Of All Demons And Become A True Immortal arrives like a chilling breath of fresh air. This is not a story about humble cultivators seeking enlightenment; it is a brutal, subverted masterpiece that exposes the predatory nature of the so-called heavens.

The narrative hook is deliciously dark: in a world where "immortals" are actually demonic entities masquerading as deities to harvest mortals like livestock, protagonist Lin Shu realizes that the holy scriptures he is studying are merely cookbooks for his own flesh and bones. The revelation that the path to immortality is paved with the consumption of the innocent turns the traditional hero's journey on its head. Lin Shu’s transition from a hopeful student to a man wielding the Good and Evil Copper Coin is deeply cathartic. He doesn't just reject the system; he perverts it, using the very tools of the wicked to dismantle their power structures from within.

What makes this novel truly compelling is its aesthetic of "holy depravity." Watching Lin Shu wield a Ten Thousand Soul Banner that glows with righteous light, while stepping on a sword forged from pure resentment, captures the unique flavor of this story. It is a cynical, high-stakes revenge fantasy that questions the morality of power. The writing is sharp, pacing is relentless, and the moral ambiguity creates a tension that keeps you turning pages. If you are tired of cookie-cutter cultivation novels and crave a protagonist who will burn the sky down to redefine the rules, this is an essential addition to your reading list. It is grim, glorious, and unapologetically vicious.
