[Sword cultivation + immortal cultivation + brotherhood only + no female lead + leveling up + no golden finger] A coming-of-age story, not a wish-fulfillment novel. (The protagonist gets a slight boost.) I think the pacing is fine, though some readers who prefer power fantasies find it frustrating and slow. But this story is focused on emotions, and that doesn't just mean Pingzi.
Chen Wang: One day, I'll forge through every obstacle, shatter the skies, and stand at the summit!
Thirteen-year-old Chen Wang: I'm the big brother! Eleven-year-old Chen Ping: I'm the little brother!
Twenty-five-year-old Chen Wang: I'm useless! Twenty-three-year-old Chen Ping: Waaaah!
Forty-five-year-old Chen Wang: I'll grow stronger! And I am growing stronger!
Chen Ping: Leave no one alive. Let's beat them to death!
When they hear that an immortal has come to town, Chen Wang and Chen Ping hurry over to get a look. Through a twist of fate, they end up embarking on the path of cultivation.
After years of cultivation, their sect suffers a devastating calamity.
Where will they go from here?
They travel on, stopping and starting, and gradually grow stronger.
Whether it's the warmth of everyday life or the bloody truth, nothing can stop them from growing stronger.
(Cultivation levels in this story: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Great Ascension, Tribulation Transcendence)
(Middle Realm: True Immortal, Golden Immortal, Immortal King, Immortal Venerable, Immortal Emperor)
(Upper Realm: God King, God Venerable, God Emperor, Creation)
(Items are ranked from highest to lowest as Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.)
I'll decide later whether to change anything.
I've read too many wish-fulfillment novels, so I wanted to write a story that isn't about face-slapping and focuses on emotions.
Who says immortal cultivation has to involve romance? Who says the path of cultivation is free of hardship? No one is born clever, and no one understands people from the start.
I say it's not angsty. Do you believe me?
It's so appealing. It's hard to find a story about brothers without a heroine. I hope Chen Ping and Chen Wang can recognize each other soon, but Chen Wang and Chen Wang can't forget it later [please update]
Don't forget the way you came, don't forget your ambition.
Chen Ping, Chen Wang, come on! 👏
Thank you to the author, it's really beautiful^ω^!
