Rise of the Blood Monarch [Isekai - Cultivation - Xianxia]

Multiple Chapters a week. With a large backlog of chapters already written awaiting editing. Cassian Vilemoon, a four-hundred-year-old Sanguinari predator, opens his eyes in the body of Jiu Yin — a despised outcast of a minor vassal family. Gone are his old powers. In their place is a weak, malnourished vessel in a brutal cultivation world ruled by clans and sects. But the hunger remains. Armed with his centuries of ruthlessness, blood manipulation, and an insatiable appetite for power, Cassian — now Jiu Yin — begins his ascent. He will drink the blood of demonic beasts, forge his own path of cultivation, and rise above the rigid hierarchies that once crushed the boy whose body he stole. Yet the boy’s lingering emotions remain: a fierce desire to protect his mother and twin sister in a world that devours the weak. As ancient instincts clash with newfound attachments, Jiu Yin must balance his cold ambition with the fragile bonds of family while hiding his true monstrous nature from powerful clans and probing eyes. What to Expect? - Strong action and intrigue - MC is strong, but not overpowered. The cultivation of this world is very balanced. Even a functional immortal can be defeated if enough low level cultivators work together. - Building foundation of a sect/clan/house - Mix of western and eastern fantasy elements to create a unique world - A cast of characters that are not left in the dustbin of the MC as soon as he no longer is within their power levels. — Description from novelcodex.org
