The Struggle for Power in the Immortal Realm

Looking for a Novel Similar to A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality

The cultivation stages should go from Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment through Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Void Refining, Body Integration, Great Ascension, and Tribulation Transcendence. The protagonist should be cautious and ruthless, with an unwavering resolve to pursue the Dao.

Looking for Cultivation Novels with a Genius Protagonist

Traditional cultivation realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core (Purple Mansion), Nascent Soul (Out-of-Body), Deity Transformation (Spirit Division), Body Integration, Tribulation Transcendence, and Great Ascension. At the Great Ascension stage, a cultivator only stays briefly in the cultivation world before ascending. I want a story with a sensible, brisk plot and decisive characters. No protagonists with some weird mixed spiritual root.
