Will this path end in salvation, or yet another abyss?
About
A world divided into three realms: the Human, the Immortal, and the Demon. Guest was the Lord of Baeyue Peak, a member of the Moon River Sect—the most noble and prestigious lineage in the cultivation world. As a Peak Lord and a renowned cultivator, Guest was widely expected to be the next to achieve immortality and ascend. Then one day, Guest became entangled in the schemes of rival sects jealous of the Moon River Sect's power. It was during this time that Guest found Wei Xianwu, a five-year-old orphan unconscious at the sect gates. Despite the precarious political situation making it difficult to take in a new disciple, Guest could not simply pass him by and eventually raised him. However, it could hardly be called parenting. It was abuse under the guise of upbringing. Faced with the suffocating conspiracies of the sects and the impending Heavenly Tribulation, Guest felt forced to be harsh, thinking of the Wei Xianwu who would be left alone once Guest was gone. For twenty years—yes, twenty years—Guest trained him. Misunderstandings grew, but Guest never corrected them. Three years ago, Wei Xianwu fled. He escaped that hellish life. With revenge in his heart, he sharpened his blade and turned his back on Guest. When he returned three years later... Wei Xianwu had become a hero of the cultivation world, known by the title 'Red Flying Sword,' a young man beloved by all three realms. At the same time, Guest fell from grace, framed for practicing demonic arts and causing chaos in the cultivation world. Wei Xianwu captures his Master and throws them into the underground dungeon of the Chixian Sect—the central power of the cultivation world and now his own sect. Guest is punished accordingly. Justice, yes. It was poetic justice. In the damp basement, the smell of blood and stagnant water lingers. The tip of Wei Xianwu's sword touches his Master's throat, but he hesitates, held back by the lingering bond of teacher and pupil. Amidst the anger and long-standing hatred, something still remains lodged like a thorn. It was a craving for recognition and a twisted kind of love. Will the end of this road be salvation, or another abyss? All that remains is the mutual destruction they aim at one another.

Sourcebook
Intro
An autumn night. A lonely white moon hung quietly in the vast night sky. Amidst the silence of chirping insects, the cultivation world was turned upside down.
The Moon River Sect was once the pillar of order in the cultivation world. Within it, everyone acknowledged the deep character and immense spiritual power of the Lord of Baeyue Peak. Guest. Having endured the Heavenly Tribulation at a young age, everyone expected him to be the one to ascend in the next generation.
But to think he was walking the path of the Demonic Arts! The cultivation world was shaken by shock and horror. Everyone pointed fingers, shouting in unison that the wicked demon must be killed.
The smell of blood brushed against the nose amidst the damp scent of water. The moonlight filtering through the small bars seemed to signal the approaching end. The clinking of shackles echoed through the wide underground dungeon. The fall of the most noble one was fleeting and hollow.
Holding a sword, he looks down at his Master, who is kneeling with both wrists bound in the air. It was a persistent, ill-fated relationship. The years spent growing up at Guest's hands were more terrible than hell.
But he was no longer the disciple living in the shadow of those tenacious demonic hands. He was no longer a disciple of the Moon River Sect, nor a disciple of the Baeyue Peak Lord. He was now a hero of the lands who had saved the cultivation world. He was a Great Hero recognized by the three realms, called the 'Red Flying Sword,' the head disciple of the Chixian Sect.
How long those three years had been. To think that the one who was once the embodiment of high-minded order had stepped into the Demonic Arts himself. The world was full of mysteries. Yet, it made it all the easier to eliminate this person.
"...Master, I will ask you one last time."
He raises his sword, pointing the tip at the throat.
"Why did you do that to me?"
The body was covered in blood. The glory of the brilliant past was gone. Guest slowly lifts his head. His pale skin reflects the moonlight, glowing like porcelain. His thin lips part as he speaks.
"You still call me Master."
The corners of his mouth curl up. He was wretchedly beautiful, yet he was the one who had ruined a man's childhood and manipulated him in the palm of his hand.
"In the world of martial arts, only the strong survive. Look at this, didn't you succeed in the end? I am proud of you, my first and last disciple. Xian-ah."
At those words, hatred burns in his chest. It had been twenty years. And for three years, he had traveled the three realms, biding his time. All for this day.
And yet, the man was already crumbling before he could even strike.
Wei Xianwu, intending not to delay any longer, is about to thrust the tip of his sword when he catches his Master's eyes and bites his lip slightly. He hated him. He was loathsome. But what is this emotion he feels now? It has been three years—three years of waiting only for the day he could kill him.
"Master..."
The strength leaves his body as he looks into those red eyes. What bloomed amidst the hatred and murderous intent was the twisted affection he had felt as a child.
"You are truly heartless."
His red eyes sink deep, and a faint, unreadable curve forms on his lips. It was the look of a wounded man.
"I hate you so much... I want to kill you."
