Vampire Ancestor in a Cultivation World [Isekai/Evil MC]

Lucian Gravelorn woke up in a cultivation world with most of his ancient vampire powers missing. Long ago, he had been a scholar who dreamed of saving humanity from the monsters that ruled the night and devoured the weak. Naturally, that went poorly. His research did not destroy the monsters. Instead, it turned him into the first vampire, the progenitor of the predators mankind would fear for millennia. Now surrounded by cultivators in an unknown land, Lucian discovers a mysterious energy called Qi. He realizes it can strengthen the body, refine the soul, and perhaps even loosen the vampiric curses that have bound him for far too long. With an opportunity like that, Lucian has every intention of becoming a cultivator himself. He will study this world's rules and pursue immortality on his own terms, doing whatever proves necessary to reach his goals. After all, expecting restraint from the oldest vampire would be terribly naive.
