The Road to Immortality Is Long, So Why Not Take a Shortcut?

Looking for Straightforward Cultivation, a Little Talent, and No Idiot Elders in the Sect

Pure Cultivation, Real Cultivation, No Skipping Levels

All action and fighting.

Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Separation

Novels with Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Severing, Body Integration, Tribulation Transcendence, and the like

Decisive, Dark, and Exceptionally Well-Written

Brothers, recommend me some books! All you veteran readers, come on in!

Looking for Dark Cultivation: Resources Are Monopolized, and the Protagonist Is Ruthless and Determined to Live Forever

Don't recommend anything under a million words.

Any Stories Where the Protagonist Isn’t a Doormat and Would Kill a Beautiful Woman Who Picks a Fight?

Ideally something with imaginative fantasy elements, but I’m open to other genres too.

Dark Stories, No Saintly Protagonists, and a Ruthless Lead

Dark, Pure Darkness, Utterly Dark Novels

Something like Xin Ge's.

Any Fantasy Novels With a Villain Protagonist? I’ve Seen So Many Urban Ones

The kind where someone transmigrates into the eldest young master of an immortal cultivation clan or something.
