Xuanhuan: So I'm a Cultivation Prodigy

Fantasy Novels Where the Protagonist Is a Genius from the Start, Not a Good-for-Nothing. Any Recommendations?

A Super Genius Who Outclasses His Peers Every Step of the Way

The protagonist grows stronger from a weak start, crushes the geniuses of their generation, and draws attention from all sides. They have plenty of enemies who try to kill them but never succeed.

Traditional Fantasy, No System, A Genius Protagonist, One Female Lead or None, No Transmigration

I'm looking for books similar to Floating Sky, Never Falling. I want a protagonist with an unwavering Dao heart, and a genius-focused story without all the usual cliches. They should show off their talent right from the start, and their sect should already be powerful. It'd be even better if their family was powerful too. No invincible protagonists, and I don't want mindless wish-fulfillment stories that all feel the same.
