Liu Feng wanted to be a cultivator who defied the heavens, surpassed all limits, and had jade-skinned beauties clamoring around him. He wanted to fight anyone who got in his way, and shatter the arrogance of those young masters!

Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I'm stuck here.

Jade-like beauties? No thanks, I have an awesome magical energy to study.

Young masters? Life and death battles? No, I would rather read some books on cultivation, and master some techniques that clearly don't obey the laws of physics.

There is a junior who has trash talent but suddenly started advancing by leaps and bounds? And he seems to be favored by the heavens themselves? Yeah, that has nothing to do with me.

Release Schedule: Daily, unless something comes up.

Tags and content warnings are mainly to give me creative freedom later on. This is my first novel ever, so go easy on me bruvs. Any feedback is more than welcome, of course. Collapse

    Shit. Despite the title and the first couple of chapters, the main character does not stand out in any way compared to other heroes of similar genres. Instead of reading about the basics of the world and how and why everything works here, what would be in the character of the hero based on the first chapters. He begins to learn skills of mortal rank, despite the fact that they will literally become useless in a couple of years, and he is not going to fight during this time. If he wants to become stronger in the short term it is more profitable to cultivate, if in the long term it is more profitable to study the structure of the world. But instead, like all heroes, he learns skills simply to be stronger than people of the same rank, and he doesn’t care that people of higher rank will slam him like a fly no matter how many skills he learns. 2/10. In fact, the book is not bad, but it does not live up to the expectations that it itself mentioned

      I disagree with your comment, the book didn’t place power as an expectation. The main character does not have the ability to manipulate qi right now, so techniques above mortal grade would be useless, while learning mortal grade techniques will let him survive. Also he can advance mortal grade techniques to earth grade.

        Is he in danger now? Survive from whom? person of the same rank? Because for those who are at least a little stronger, they are useless. So what do you think, when he is relatively safe, where should he invest his efforts in becoming a little stronger now or in the future?

          I agree with majority of everything you said, but if i remember correctly, training those mortal grade techniques literally increase his cultivation.

              Yes, that's understandable, the author didn't outwardly state it, he more as showed it when his cultivation increased.

                  Brother, i don't think i can make an umbrella statement about this novel, it highly depends on your taste, you would need to taste it to test if it's poisonous to you.

      You are completely wrong. What "basics of the world"? How can the MC read about it? Noone notes these things, and in fact, it is actively covered up. Villages in the hinterlands don't have proper cultivators that clans like the MC have, or those descended from the great sects. The MC even meets some who have all messed up cultivation later. People are extremely ignorant in this world and there is no proper education about cultivation the basics of the world or anything like that.

      Later, MC will have a discussion with a remnant soul which confirms a pattern that the MC noticed in reading histories and travel diaries. I don't want to spoil it for you. But it is something huge and not even known but only maybe only possibly by the highest levels of his sect. Maybe one or two at most, if that. It is the impetus that continues the story besides sitting in the sect reading books.

      As for skills becoming useless, MC is very good at spells. And he is a formation master. He has amazing control of qi. Better than his foundation level grandfather whom he spars against later - MC could have beaten him easily. MC practices a variety of technique to show no weakness and is combat effective. Plus he spars constantly with Song Song, who is a vicious and talented cultivator.

      You haven't read enough of the story to give a proper review. I can understand if you gave your own opinion about not liking it, but you marked your comment with "review" and everything you wrote was plain false.

    This novel isn’t for people looking for a quick dopamine fix. Too slow, too boring, too information heavy.

    Basically too nerdy, unless you are specifically looking for this type, it probably won’t suite your tastes.

    Not my taste either, dropped.

    Kind of expected how the story would turn out and wouldn't say it was bad but it was just not the type of story; that I like. Also the story has slow development and made me bored.

    Enjoyed the idea and possible concept of the story, but it fell flat by being way too slow in development of storyline, character, and progression of the world. By chapter 50 which was most recent as of my writing this, barely anything especially of impact/import has truly happened.

    The constant reminder of it being plagiarized makes me feel like we have kidnapped this poor novel and it's parents are requesting for it to be returned.

    It's good but it's really boring. MC acts really cautious. That means, be is suspicious of everything. And the author makes sure that we know each and every one of his suspicions in detail.
