Fellow Daoist, Your Corpse Smells So Good

Also known as "The Left-Path Demonic Immortal Starts From Corpse Rearing," the story follows Li Chang'an after he finds himself reborn as a corpse puppet caretaker in the demonic sects. In this world where might makes right—where the strong ascend to immortality and the weak end up buried—he unfortunately occupies the very bottom rung. Fortunately, he possesses a mystical artifact called the "Book of the Dead," which allows him to simulate the unfulfilled destiny of the newly deceased and convert it to his own use. When the senior brother attempts to frame Li Chang'an with a smile on his face, he is accidentally killed instead. The Book of the Dead immediately begins its deduction, revealing the deceased senior brother's potential future: achieving Foundation Establishment at thirty-four as the sect's youngest record-breaker, slaying one of the Seven Saints of Mount Shu at fifty-five to become the Fierce Weapon Hall Master, and gaining the favor of the Saintess at seventy to comprehend the Dragon-Phoenix Reversal Technique. With the deduction complete, Li Chang'an is presented with choices to inherit: a Foundation Establishment Pill, the Hall Master's cultivation, or the beginner-level Dragon-Phoenix Reversal Technique. Realizing that mere contact with the dead allows him to intercept their future fortunes, Li Chang'an understands that every genius in the world is simply stepping stone for his own ascent. From that moment on, wherever there is death and carnage, his figure is sure to be found. As time flies and the world watches on, the Li Chang'an they eventually encounter has become a supreme demonic overlord, capable of punishing immortals, subduing demons, and seeking the ultimate Dao of Heaven.
