The Dao Court has ruled the world of cultivators for over twenty thousand years. The noble families maintain a strict hierarchy, making life difficult for independent cultivators.

At ten years old, Mo Hua, who comes from a background of independent cultivators, struggles with his cultivation journey. This changes when a Dao stele appears in his mind.

The stele is damaged and mysterious, but it can enhance spiritual awareness and help understand mystical formations.

Mo Hua plans to use this stele to develop a supreme spiritual awareness, learn the secrets of celestial formations, and pursue the ultimate path of immortality. His goal is to change not only his own destiny but also the destiny of all lesser cultivators across the world.

The path to greatness starts with the smallest steps, and the journey to immortality is long and challenging.

Through dense fog and treacherous terrains, past horrors and chaos, where demons dance wildly, he must plant the seeds of his spiritual quest, survive the deadliest of trials, and prove his worth on every dangerous step…

In the grand scheme of heaven, where the universe is the game board and all creatures its pieces, the strategic game of life and death begins, shaping destinies through its intricate moves… Collapse

    This is an incredibly well written novel in my opinion. I'm all caught up to the original source. Not the chapters here are split up versions of the original chapters, which makes the numbers not match up

    This is an amazing story that has a unique emphasis on formation mastery and emphasis on MC not following the traditional pattern of using blood or physical cultivation or magic spells and qi but spiritual consciousness, something that is very well developed and in a way also appears to be almost like Bloodbourne's concept of insight when fully developed.

    The ways of the world are mysterious and cultivation is but one dimension of a person's ability.

    Mo Hua is a cute righteous but black bellied character who is ruthless but caring, and really emphasizes the pattern of low key and scheming but acts like a good little boy.

    So many interesting arcs and there is still lots of fighting but usually unless its a major arc, he is more supporting others or using his auxiliary abilities to aid them.

    However, the plot is very well written with no holes yet as far as I've seen and there is a strong element of karma in how conflicts develop. Great lore and world building paints a rich pictue of how capitalist means lead to complete exploitation of the lower class cultivators by the rich but Mo Hua is the bridge head to a breakthrough.

    Technology is the primary productive force, in essence then formations are the equivalent to electronic circuits used to create products and let society function.

    I will say this story always has surprises and doesn't go the way you'd think with realistic portrayal of the MC's abilities and no deus ex machina luck, everything is logical. And to be honest, seeing him grow is so adorably cute and hilarious especially when he beats foes who are much stronger through the fact he is literally a violation of the laws of cultivation with his abilities.

    10/10 recommend, I eagerly wait every chapter. So many awesome epic moments in every major arc conclusion, you can't miss this one!

      Is the writing level comparable to The Mirror Legacy? Not the plot, just the writing

    One weird thing I have noticed about this novel is how hard it is to die. In other xianxias, someone blinks and their head is separated from their body, here, someone has to get beaten to death for 8 hours (no joke, the fights are that long) and then he pretends to be defeated, fights some more, and gets captured when his spiritual energy is exhausted.

    Honestly I don’t like these novels where the mc stays as a kid for the majority of the novel. I don’t mind slow paced novels where the mc slowly increases strength and such but I hate it when the mc barely ages but a lot happens in the mean time . Like I can already see the novel ending with him barely having lived an “immortal” life. Look at the difference between this and “I Shall Be Everlasting In the World of Immortals”. They’re both “slow paced” immortality novels but around chapter 300 one is a kid and the other is hundreds of years old. I can understand if the mc can learn arrays 2x as fast as other with his “cheat” but how come compared to those old men, he spends a year or less to get to their level while also spending time with family, friends, daily outings, and other things. And on top of that he started later than other kids in Noble families; meaning if he was in a family like that he would probably be a 10 year old grandmaster or something. Anyways that’s enough of my rant, the only thing I’m complaining about is the pacing, I don’t care about how he’s slowly increasing his cultivation or spending time with family, but I somehow feel extra displeased with how he’s just a kid where I am and he’s caught up to those old geezers while also doing side quests (I know some side quests help him but it can’t help him catch up to decades of effort when his cheat only helps him when he sleeps). If there is a time skip in the future please let me know when and how old he turns

      To clarify your confusion, the reason why he could catch up with old masters are naturally because he is pretty talented at formation if not best of the best. his's comprehension is actually very high as well, like *a bit of spoiler* he learned from person x even though he was just using his skills in front of him.. another reason is he doesn't really sleep that much, I mean he literally learns formation at day, practice almost 10x more at night because of stele at almost no cost. One of the main reason why average first grade formation masters are most at hundred years old is because they lack divine sense talent unlike Mo Hua who can have a divine sense of foundation building at QI cultivation stage, and their divine sense recovery after drawing one formation is like comparing a turtle to a rabbit in running tournament. *Mo Hua is rabbit in this case* And Yes, he might just be 5 years old first grade formation master if he was born in noble family, if not younger *if they ofc can recognize his talent in formation*

    This is my review after I read till chapter 842 in mtl (currently 1015 chaps). The chapters here are divided into 3. So, chapter 703 corresponds to roughly chapter 550 in mtl. My biggest problem with this novel is that It is too slow paced. I usually like this but at the rate the novel is going it's at least gonna be 3500+ chaps long(If author doesn't introduce any major time skip or something else).

    MAJOR SPOILERS:
    There have been 6 realms of cultivation introduced so far and probably there being 9 in total because there are 9 ranks of formation masters. The mc at MTL chapter 917 is at


    Now then...
    Cons:
    1: Extremely slow paced and trying to defeat the pace of martial unity.
    2: Almost no meaningful time skips.
    3: Absurd cultivation technique


    Good points:
    1: Absurd cultivation technique.
    2: Extremely likeable characters.
    3: Actual character development.
    4: Solid story with insane things happening quite often.
    5: Cunning and smart (though EXTREMELY greedy) and kind mc.
    6: Author is skilled and has likely planned this out.
    7: Author posts chapters almost every day.

    Overall 7.5/10. Though I do recommend that this should be kept in the bookmarks list for at least 1 or 2 years cause it's gonna be extremely long if nothing changes. 3500+ chapters minimum or 5000+ max or more.
    Sorry for bad grammar
