Synopsis

[Genius] + [Funny at first, unhinged later] + [Offbeat protagonist] + [Clever cultivation] + [Huge stats, but that doesn’t mean the mechanics are weak] + [Multiple heroines]

In the year 356 of the Dragon Kingdom, a golden imperial carriage smashed through the sun, a celestial palace rose above the moon, and the stars of the heavens awakened one after another.

The world entered an era of spiritual qi revival, and people awakened spiritual roots to pursue the path to immortality.

Ling Yishan, a third-generation mortal, could only drool in envy as he watched immortals fly through the sky and burrow into the earth on television.

Just then, his family was turned upside down. The once-loving couple turned against each other.

“Thirteen, I’m the Demon Venerable, and your mother is the Sacred Lord. We’re getting divorced. Which of us are you going with?”

At first, Ling Yishan didn’t believe them. He thought his parents were just role-playing to spice things up. But strange incidents kept happening around him, more and more powerful figures appeared at his side, and he began having little dreams about an unfamiliar world of cultivation.

Only then did Ling Yishan realize that his parents hadn’t been lying.

“You two should’ve told me you had backgrounds like that! I wasted all that effort for nothing.”

“You told me too late. I’ve already taken off!”

“Golden God Little Flame,” “The Modern Cultivation World’s Godfather of the Absurd,” “Trendsetter of Cultivation World,” “National Idol,” “Cultivation World’s Number One Scoundrel,” “The Chosen Darling of Causality,” “The Dream of Countless Young Men,” “Spokesman for Pure Natural Body Cultivation,” “Top Salesman of Spirit Pill Powder,” “Cyber Sun Immortal Venerable,” and “The Empire’s Ferocious Spirit Pearl”: these were the titles Ling Yishan claimed for himself.

The Sacred Lord and the Demon Venerable: “?”

The couple stared pensively at the cultivation world, now riddled with damage and thrown into chaos by their son.

Author, I actually quite enjoy stories with multiple female leads; this one is really funny. But I feel that sometimes it could be a little more serious, without too many female leads, because I think that would make the main characters more well-rounded (please don't criticize). 🍉🍉🍉😳😳😳🍉🍉🍉

So far, what I've seen includes the classic theme of "If you can't afford to cultivate immortality," along with many humorous references that will bring a smile to your face. It's a classic subject matter, yet it avoids clichés. It's a rare gem among Tomato's works, far superior to those awkwardly hyped pieces.

This book is truly excellent, especially the part depicting Lu Bu's epic battle with Sun Wukong over Diao Chan. However, Xue Baochai was undeniably too powerful; had it not been for Darius's outer-circle cheat and Noxus Guillotine, that M4 6x scope spray would have been fatal.

To be honest, there are quite a few jokes, and the author's use of them isn't awkward at all; they're all perfectly timed and catchy. It's also incredibly funny, comparable to Huang Liang's book. Keep up the good work, author, and strive to improve your writing! However, the downside is that the jokes are too dense; those without extensive internet access might not get them.

It seamlessly blends cultivation into modern daily life, with a reasonable and engaging plot (although the protagonist is rather abstract) and plenty of laughs. Most importantly, it finally eliminates the annoying, fly-like villains typical of cultivation novels or urban martial arts novels, and it's no longer about indiscriminately hacking and slashing at everyone in sight.

It's good-looking, abstract, funny, and heartwarming. I don't know who said it's amazing. 013 Even has a harem! If you don't like harems, you spread rumors. I've been watching for so long, and there's nothing amazing about it, not even a single nasty or disgusting moment. It's funny, lighthearted, and full of jokes.

This is a hilarious book with witty writing, a tight plot, and no one, whether good or bad, is mentally challenged. There are no clichéd passive-aggressive displays of power; instead, the protagonist shamelessly and actively displays his arrogance! 😂😂😂😂

It's abstract, funny, and a little bit biting; overall, it makes you both laugh and feel touched. There's still room for improvement, especially the daily mind-blowing metaphors—they're amazing!

I stumbled upon it and read the latest chapter in one go. It's rare to find a book so much to my liking. You could call it an invincible story; it's very satisfying, but the protagonist isn't brainless or a saint; he has his own principles and a flexible moral compass. The writing style leans towards lighthearted entertainment, full of jokes and gags—it cracked me up. I hope the author can maintain this level of quality.

The beginning was excellent, with the plot and references blending seamlessly. However, around chapter 240, during the monster invasion of Turtle Island, the control over the plot and references suddenly dropped. What was previously a plot-driven narrative shifted into a plot-driven narrative, and the plot's logic suffered significant flaws.
