I’m getting a little tired of following ongoing stories. Please recommend some great completed ones!
Please Recommend Books Where Studying the Daoist Scriptures Leads to Innate Mastery of Their Mysteries
I'd like stories where the protagonist cultivates marvelous techniques by studying Daoist scriptures, or gains experience by fighting people with a certain kind of ability, such as in a trial dimension. Or where the protagonist thinks, “I can learn this divine ability,” and then actually does.

Any recommendations about an all-powerful, compassionate immortal who once cared for all living beings and gets transported to a cultivation world or some kind of apocalypse setting? Anything works 😏😏. Please recommend some 😍😍😍. P.S. I’m fine with no-romance stories, whether male- or female-oriented, or stories with two male leads 🙈🙈

This is the true path of cultivation, taking it one step at a time from childhood to adulthood, seeing through the vicissitudes of life. This is the essence of traveling ten thousand miles. Very good, keep reading, hope you maintain this level of dedication.
This is a truly wonderful book and well worth reading! The author is incredibly learned and talented, possessing a vast knowledge of ancient and modern times, including Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, immortals, gods, and mortals, as well as religions from both China and abroad. I'm truly impressed! Thumbs up! 👍
The descriptions of human relationships and daily life are exquisite, and the writing is superb, no less than that of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality".
The author is knowledgeable, describing various items, local specialties, and ethnic groups with great detail, especially incorporating classical texts to explain the principles of cultivation. The plot is also well-structured, avoiding clichéd storylines, demonstrating considerable effort. However, the author's writing style still shows some inexperience, failing to grasp the theme effectively, and the narration is somewhat drawn out. Overall, though, it's still quite good.
I've only read the first fifty chapters, but the plot is exciting and the characters are well-developed. I think it's a good book.
This book deserves a 93 out of 100. The author is not a superficial writer; you should check it out!
It's a very good watch; the characters are portrayed in a warm and gentle way, and it makes me feel very happy.
The details are quite refined, without the sudden leaps and slashes typical of a nouveau riche; the author handles it methodically. However, it feels a bit weak after chapter 350.
It's a wonderfully written book; I recommend everyone take a look.
Having read over four hundred chapters, I found the book to be well-organized and detailed, with a plot that wasn't exaggerated, which made me feel quite comfortable.
