Looking for Pure Invincibility Power Fantasies, Not Ones Where the Protagonist Is Only Invincible for a While
I'm looking for a completely invincible power fantasy. No temporary invincibility, and no stories where the author misunderstands what “invincible” means, like the invincibility domain suddenly failing or becoming much weaker. Just let it be satisfying.
I’m Tired of Mixed Spiritual Roots. Please Recommend a Novel with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

If you don't want to update, just say so. Why be so casual with your sister? It makes her seem like she's being presumptuous. And it's true, you're not in good health; you just need to rest more. It's your fault for urging me so much; it's upsetting you and hurting your health. But what does it matter to me whether you're hurt or not? Hurry up and update more, brother!
It's really, really good! It has the feel of a top-tier fantasy author. However, the system's presence is a bit weak, and we don't know what will happen to it later. Anyway, I hope it gets more developed and updated more often. The plot is quite enjoyable. Keep up the good work, author!
Let me tell you, you still have many problems, such as the plot, character design, and the division of realms. Send me your draft first so I can see how to revise it and we can discuss it together. 😏
This book is really good, it's just that the rating is a bit low, maybe it's just a matter of personal preference. But the quality of this book is indeed very good. Author, keep up the good work, keep writing, I can't get enough!
There are still some flaws, for example. When he broke through to the Saint level and fought against the two Saints, he could transform into a younger appearance, which would show that he had truly healed his damaged Dao heart and become more imposing. However, he never showed it, which is a bit speechless. Perhaps the best time to show his younger appearance would be after he killed the True Martial Great Saint. I hope we can see it then!
Keep it up! There are so few male protagonists who are like ancient, otherworldly elders. Most are young and handsome, and then countless girls fall for them. I've always wanted to see something like this—powerful yet respectful of age. They've all reached the level of elder; there's no such thing as youth anymore.
The protagonist's strength doesn't increase very quickly, so he's not entirely brainless. It's just that the Eastern Holy Land is really weak. I really like all the little disciples; three have appeared so far, each different, but all endearing. The protagonist's personality is great—peaceful and gentle. It's nice to see him usually guarding the library reading scriptures.
It's so beautiful, why does it only get this low score?
Please update soon!! I love this book. The protagonist perfectly matches my fantasy of a master in a fantasy novel, and there's no master-disciple romance. Many of the masters I've read over the years have appeared to be in their early twenties but also have incredibly young mindsets, and some even have female disciples who have inappropriate feelings for their masters (which I personally don't like). That's great, we're very happy with it so far, and I hope it stays that way.
It can be read as a light novel, and I can't really comment on the writing style since I'm not a good writer myself, but some parts are quite weak, like having to introduce all the important supporting characters during a fight. I stayed up all night and read up to chapter 107, which is already the power ceiling in the current world (whether he'll go to other worlds later is hard to say).
