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
Reading this…again.
No matter how many times I will read this, it will never be enough.
Just came after watching the live adaptation.
Been wanting to read the novel. I’m glad I found this. Thank u so much for the english trans. You guys are awesome.
More power to exiled rebels scanlations. You guys are so amazing.
I read this the first time after watching the TV series, and then I watched it 3 more times. Now I’m re-reading the book and watching the Special Edition at the same time. We would all be lost if you hadn’t translated this. K, you are a godsend. We can’t say thank you enough times. Seriously.
Thank you for these translations K..I read this novel before watching the untamed last year and I loved it..and during this quarantine I watched the untamed and I am going crazy..I love them so much šš and I am rereading this again..I think I am probably gonna rewatch it again
The translation is amazing ā¤
Can’t stop myself from re reading this novel over and over again, honestly I lost count on how many times I’m reading this again
My English teacher told me, to speed up the reading skills, I need to read novels, any novels where you are interested in. So I am reading this now. This is my area of interest
Thank you so much for this translation! Hugs from Brazil <3
makes me happy to see all the post from a couple of days ago. I am back to re-reading this amazing story.
The words don’t exist that can adequately express my gratitude for this beautiful translation. This is my first attempt at reading a novel written by a Chinese author and I was giving up hope of finding something that not only was in English, but in intelligible English. So many so called translations are so bad that they cross the line into just plain bizarre. This one is not only understandable, but so incredibly enjoyable to read that I’ve found myself re-reading several chapters just for the joy I get. There are many of us right now that are home bound… Read more »
only if this had pictures
Will always have mad respect for fan works that take so much time and energy like this. Despite my countryās obsession with the series, the publishing house with the license has been taking f o r e v e r to translate the novel (not even doing a very good job with the Chinese names and phrases). And I cannot wait any longer, so here I am. Thanks so much guys!
thank you for this!
Im gonna be reading the book and watching the tv show at the same time, its just to good
god must have sent you to us. thank you for this precious gift and blessing my mind with all of this content š
Absolutely enjoy this novel.
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. That is savage and i looove it. I am just at the prologue and my heart is overwhelmed. Thank you
