SUMMARY:
As the grandmaster who founded the Demonic Sect, Wei WuXian roamed the world in his wanton ways, hated by millions for the chaos he created. In the end, he was backstabbed by his dearest shidi and killed by powerful clans that combined to overpower him. He incarnates into the body of a lunatic who was abandoned by his clan and is later, unwillingly, taken away by a famous cultivator among the clansāLan WangJi, his archenemy. This marks the start of a thrilling yet hilarious journey of attacking monsters, solving mysteries, and raising children. From the mutual flirtation along the way, Wei WuXian slowly realizes that Lan WangJi, a seemingly haughty and indifferent poker-face, holds more feelings for Wei WuXian than he is letting on.
(NOTE to all the readers coming here after watching ‘The Untamed,’ this novel is a DANMEI (a romance novel featuring two MEN) we are not adding anything to these chapters. There will be sex scenes in later chapters, if you feel uncomfortable about two MEN kissing and loving one another, please, go away. Do not claim we are adding anything.)
Prologue
āGreat news! Wei WuXian has died!ā
Less than a day has passed since the siege in LuanZang Hill, and the news spreads through the cultivation world as if it sprouted wings, surpassing even the speed of warfare.
For a while, from the most prominent clans to rogue cultivators, everyone is discussing the siege that was lead by the Four Great Clans and followed by hundreds of smaller ones.
āThe YiLing Patriarch has died? Who could have killed him?ā
āWho other than his shidi, Jiang Cheng, putting an end to his own relative for the greater good. Jiang Cheng led the Four Clans of YunmengJiang, LanlingJin, GusuLan, and QingheNie to destroy his ādenāāLuanZang Hill.ā
āI must say, good riddance!ā
āGood riddance indeed! We finally eliminated this scourge.ā
āIf not for the YunmengJiang clanās adopting and teaching him, he would have been a hobo living on the streets, let alone causing mayhem as bold as the ones these days. The head of the Jiang clan raised him as her own child, yet he defected them and became the enemy of the cultivation world, bringing shame upon the the Jiang clan, even leading to its near-extermination. He is the prime example of biting the hand that feeds him!ā
āJiang Cheng allowed this fellow to live for too long. If I were him, at the time of the defection, I wouldnāt have just stabbed him. In fact, I would have thoroughly examined the disciples of the clan again, so that he doesnāt do those crazy things he did later on. Who cares about the so called āconsiderationsā that he gave to his childhood friend.ā
āThatās merely hearsay. Although Jiang Cheng was one of the main forces, he did not give Wei WuXian the final blow. Because he cultivates the Demon Path, Wei WuXianās powers had backfired and he was ripped to pieces.ā
āHahahaha⦠Thatās karma! The ghost soldiers that he created are like unleashed dogs, biting everyone that they come across. It serves him right to be chewed to death!ā
āBut, if not for Jiang Cheng making a plan that aimed at Wei WuXianās weaknesses, the siege might not have succeeded. Should I remind you folks of the item that Wei WuXian possesses? Did you forget about the day that three thousand skilled cultivators were completely annihilated?ā
āI heard that it was more than three thousand, possibly five thousand.ā
āHeās most certainly out of his mind.ā
āItās a good thing that he destroyed that evil weapon before he died. Otherwise, if it was left in this world to harm humankind, his sins would have been worse.ā
āOh well⦠You know, back then, Wei WuXian was one of the most promising cultivators, coming from a highly distinguished clan and finding success at a young age. How on Earth did he end up where he is now?ā
āThis proves that one can only cultivate by following the right path. Using these dishonest practices would only seem beneficial at first glance. Look, what happened in the end? Not even a whole corpse was left of him.ā
āNot everything was because of his cultivation path. Wei WuXianās personality is quite immoral. Oneās deeds will be paid, one way or another; what goes around always comes around.ā
ā¦
After Wei WuXianās death, the period is drawn on the topic. The discussions of the people are mostly the same, with a few unconventional opinions being brought down immediately.
However, the elephant in the room stayed in the back of everyoneās mind.
Nobody could summon Wei WuXianās soul, which meant that his soul had disappeared.
It might have been torn apart by the millions of ghosts that devoured him.
Or, it might have escaped.
If was the first, then all is well. Then again, nobody doubts the fact that the YiLing Patriarch has the power to move mountains and empty seas. If was the last, his soul would eventually return to revive in his body. When the day comes, the cultivation world, or even all of mortal land, would be faced with the most insane damnation and revenge, sinking into nothing but chaos and despair.
The various clans set one hundred and twenty stone beasts on top of LuanZang Hill and initiated frequent soul-summoning rituals, followed by heightened vigilance and searches for strange occurrences from all over the world.
In the first year, nothing happened.
In the second year, nothing happened.
In the third year, nothing happened.
ā¦
In the thirteenth year, nothing happened either.
More and more people were starting to believe that, maybe, the YiLing Patriarch actually perished.
Even if he was capable of turning the world upside down, it was finally his turn to be toppled over.
Nobody would remain at the top for all of eternityālegends are only legends.

I really miss them. This is like the fifth time I reread
oh my finally I have more time to read this TT TT TT thank you for translating this TT TT you guys are amazing
When I first found the Grand Master of Demonic Cultivation was in Youtube. I saw an AMV that is centered on Lan Wanji & Wei Ying on my suggested videos or some sorts. At that time, I’m just searching a new anime to watch and when I saw their fighting scene and how the characters were beautifully drawn. I got excited and I was like I’m gonna watch this. So, I went and watch it. Finish it even, never realizing that it was a BL. Days passed and I realized I badly want to know the rest of the story.… Read more »
The ghost soldiers that he created are like unleashed dogs, biting everyone that they come across.
I read this and immediately thought, DOGS?!? Run Wei WuXian! Go find a LAN Wangji to hide behind, quick! Then I realized it was talking about the soilders and just thought… wow, that was sad.
Just find this gem, thank you very much
This kinda make me sad. If only they could ask and listen to what wwx feels then this wouldn’t happen
“Nobody would remain at the top for all of eternityālegends are only legends”
This sentence… Why it struck my heart so hard.
Your translation is so easy to read. Thx for your hard work. I tried to imagine translating this novel to my language… Brrr…so scary.
I watch the donghua, give me a picture about the story. So I better prepare my self for the heartache to come.
I started watching the cdrama adaptation and Iām so excited to read the story of it whilst I wait for more episodes to come out. Thank u for this
Ca me donne envie de regarder le premier Ć©pisode de “The untamed”.
I’m sorry that I just left a comment here when I already finished reading all the chapters. I’m in the middle of re-reading it, because heck, I missed them already even though I only finished reading yesterday.
This is the most important thing that I need to say:
God. Thank you so much for translating this. More than 400k words, 3000-9000 words on each chapter. Wow. You guys are amazing and your hard work need to be appreciated more! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the translation!!! I’m going to love it!!!
Reading this book for the 5th time.. seriously I’m so hooked up with this novel. But I really wonder If anyone know where is the phrase “playing inquiry for 13 years,waiting for the unreturning one” came from?
Is this the novel that the Chinese drama āUntamedā is based off of?
I’m a Japanese,so appreciate you that translated this wonderful novel.
I’m reading this again.šāš

Just finished the cdrama, Iām excited to read the story.

Ready, set, go! This is the first BL novel I read that made me discover that there is a genre like this. I honestly didnāt know. I was quite surprised. Well, the story didnāt focus on the BL story but I was touched by how much the ML loved the MC for so many years. Lan Zhan was the best leading man I have met so far, that includes all genre. Faithful, doting, and passionate. Iām re reading this for the second time because the story was unique to me in an inexplicable way. Wei Ying, is such an innocent… Read more »
This is like my 5th time reading this novel and I still love it. šššš

Thanks a lot!! I am intrigued by this for now!!
Hi there! When a GDM amv was first recommended by YouTube a couple of months back, I ignored it. Then it appeared again some time later. I think was one from a Romantic Moments series. I was hooked! And to think it isn’t just a drama series with super shuai ger acting in it, but also an anime and the novel itself, I was enraptured!! In heaven!! And then it hit me that the novel was from China and of course had to be in Chinese and being a banana, I fell from heaven and into the pit of despair!… Read more »
Rereading because I still have no idea EXACTLY how WWX died š š¢
