"Well, well, well! You're worthy of being the Holy Son of our sect!" The people from the Heavenly Demon Sect were already staring at the stars. In their view, this heartless and unscrupulous person was truly a genius in evil cultivation.
[Once Chen Shi died, you became the head of the Chen family. Someone from the Chen family got wind of the news and tried to seize Chen Shi's property.]
"This is our Chen family's property! You're just an outsider, lucky enough to have enjoyed the Chen family's meals for a few years thanks to Chen Shi's mercy. Do you really think you're a member of the Chen family?" Faced with the accusations of your clansmen, you didn't offer any defense, but instead ordered them to be kicked out.
[The other party is determined to seize your property, so how can it be solved by a debate or sweet talk? Naturally, the other party will not give in easily. Once they return to the Chen family's ancestral land, they will gather hundreds of young and strong members of the Chen family to come and destroy the entire family.]
You found the three sisters and swore an oath of friendship that you would live your entire life as Chen Shi's son and their younger brother, hoping that they would firmly stand by your side. You also invited the county magistrate to your home to be a witness (of course, you gave him some money for tea).
Just as the Chen family, accompanied by hundreds of young men, arrived to cause trouble, the county magistrate, accompanied by the county's elite constables, stood beside you, machetes in hand. With the magistrate as witness, the three sisters signed a contract, recognizing you as the head of the Chen family. From then on, you legally gained control of all of the Chen family's property.
Thanks to the county magistrate's authority and the dozens of machete-wielding constables around him, the Chen family had no choice but to give up this piece of juicy meat. But looking at the leader's eyes, you knew they wouldn't give up. But it didn't matter, you too.
[Half a month later, all those who led the attempt to seize the Chen family's property died under mysterious circumstances. At the same time, you gave your youngest sister to the county magistrate as a concubine. From then on, you had no worries.]
Under your stewardship, the Chen family's business prospers. Meanwhile, you're spending lavishly, cultivating connections with prominent figures. You've neglected your studies. Your three sisters confront you, demanding to know why you've betrayed their father's wishes. You reply, "I'm a traitor." There's nothing they can do. They've already signed a contract recognizing you as the head of the family, and even if you betray them now, they can't do anything.
Finally, at the age of sixteen, your martial arts cultivation reached the legendary Xiantian realm. Through another Xiantian realm master, you finally learned about the path to immortality. However, the price of this news was too great.
"He wants all your wealth and your three sisters as his playthings."
"This is my joy, and also my mission. Helping the sect select those who are ruthless enough to forsake worldly ties. Such individuals are worthy of joining the sect to cultivate immortality. Furthermore, I also deeply enjoy seeing the expressions of the innate masters: some reluctant, some hypocritical, some resolute... Which one will you be?"
You didn't answer him, but instead beheaded him with a single blow. Then, you called your three sisters over for dinner. During the meal, you offered a heartfelt apology, explaining your realization of past mistakes and your decision to abandon martial arts and return to the imperial examinations. You also reminisced about your childhood, much to their amusement. After three rounds of drinking, all three sisters passed out drunk. Without a word, you arose and set the entire Chen household ablaze.
There was no news of you in Zhunan County. A month later, a group of people found you in a mountain. They claimed to be immortal cultivators.
"You've found me! It seems you're indeed worthy of my joining," you said, and then joined the Demon Soul Sect.

The Heart of Seeking the Truth - Part 1
Seeing this rating, Lu Tongming couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! This devilish child killed his biological parents at the age of three, decided to kill his adoptive father at the age of ten, and then used trickery to deceive his relatives, robbed the Chen family's property, and finally killed his three sisters! Such evil deeds, such a lack of humanity, and you actually gave him an A rating! I don't accept it!"
"What are you dissatisfied with?" a mocking voice came from the side, belonging to a member of the Heavenly Demon Cult. "If I had a heart as ruthless as my Saint Son, I would have reached the Golden Core stage long ago. You righteous cultivators are truly ridiculous. You claim to pursue justice, yet you fight for magical weapons and cultivation. Underneath the guise of righteousness, aren't you just pursuing power? A heart of the Dao, a heart of the Dao, a heart devoted to the Dao is the heart of the Dao. My Saint Son pursues the Great Dao, willing to sacrifice everything. With such a heart, why shouldn't he be rated A-level?"
This evil cultivator spoke so eloquently, leaving Lu Tongming no chance to refute a single word. Finally, the cultivator finished speaking, and Lu Tongming attempted to refute his evil words, but the cultivator, following Lu Tongming's previous example, also closed his ears. Lu Tongming was so angry that his chest ached. "What a wicked heretic! They all deserve to die!" The old cultivator's murderous intent soared to the sky.
Lu Dahu hurriedly stopped Lu Tongming. If they fought, with the secret realm's laws suppressing them, Lu Tongming would be the one to suffer in the end. "Elder Tongming! Look! It's Zhengzhi! It's Zhengzhi's life story!" Lu Dahu shouted, pointing at the sky.
Lu Tongming also calmed down and looked at the sky. "In that case, let's see. The righteous path of seeking the truth will definitely not be as cruel as the devil Shuangman. His final rating will definitely not be lower than Shuangman." These words were said with great certainty.
Even Cangshan Phantom couldn't help but glance at him, his lips moving slightly. If someone who could read lips saw him, they would understand what he said: "That may not be the case."
The sky slowly opened.
In the sixth year of Jinghe, you were born in the small village of Liutao Mountain in Tianhai County, Jingguo. Your parents hoped you would be an upright person, so they named you Lu Zhengzhi.
You were born with intelligence. You could speak at the age of one, read at the age of two, and write at the age of three. This attracted the attention of important figures in the county. A wealthy businessman once met with your parents and mentioned taking you into his family. Your parents refused.
"Although my son is young, he is still our flesh and blood. I am reluctant to give him away. I hope you will understand." The rich businessman left disappointed.
Here they come! Everyone in the Lu family was horrified. Shuang Man was here, harboring murderous intentions towards his biological parents. What about Lu Zhengzhi? What choice would he make? Everyone's heart was hanging in the balance. Lu Tongming even prayed in a low voice: "Zhengzhi, please don't make the same choice as Shuang Man. Even if you have a little temper and are dissatisfied with your parents, we will accept it."
You show a happy expression, thankful that your parents did not abandon you.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
