Defying Heaven: From Mortal to Chaos Dao Ancestor

The novel kicks off with "A sudden change on a rainy night", using extremely tense writing to depict the cruel reality that separates immortals from the mortal world. Combining traditional cultivation with "waste flow", Chen Guanshui's story is intertwined, from his family being destroyed to being forced to step into the immortal sect, from the desperate situation of "Five Elements Pseudo Spiritual Roots" to the chance to obtain the "Five Elements Basics General Outline". The character creation is particularly outstanding: Chen Guanshui's tenacity and wisdom, Taoist Qingxu's detachment, Fatty Wang's business loyalty, and Zhao Hu's mean and snobbishness all come to life on the page. The foreshadowing is exquisitely laid out - the mystery of the withered green wood stick, the truth about the spiritual root of Hunyuan, and the conspiracy behind the Lin family have been quietly woven into a big web. The most rare thing is that in the world of cultivation where "power is paramount", the philosophical thought of "the ordinary mind realizes the Tao" is always running through, giving the story a unique depth. If this level is maintained, this book will definitely become another masterpiece on the subject of cultivation.

The storyline is good
