[Mortal’s Path to Immortality · Rise of an Ordinary Man · Slow Burn]
The path to immortality is long and perilous. Some hurry, others take their time. Hurrying does not guarantee arrival, and taking things slowly does not mean you will never get there. Each has their own destined encounters and tribulations to endure.
This is the story of an ordinary man’s growth.
His name is Ye Weichen. He transmigrated at the age of thirty. He has no golden finger, no System, only the regrets of his previous life.
In this life, he is a menial disciple of the Qingyun Sect. With a low-grade, three-element spiritual root, he toiled for twenty years before he was finally allowed to take the spiritual-root test. The steward bullies him, his fellow disciples mock him, and no one thinks much of him.
Third place in the sect tournament, first place in the Seven Sects Competition. Though his aptitude is mediocre and he’s endured scorn and unfairness, he defeats one powerful enemy after another.
He tempers his body with the Nine-Turn Marrow-Washing technique. He leaves no skill unlearned: alchemy, talisman drawing, formation crafting, and sword flight. A mutated scent-seeking ferret locates spirit herbs; a phantom cicada disrupts the mind; his greatsword art crushes high-grade magical artifacts. The Concealing Spirit Veil hides his presence, the Binding Cord ensnares enemies, the Beast-Suppressing Seal counters spirit beasts, and a talisman treasure burns his foes to ashes.
His Taixu Divine Sense Art gives him spiritual perception far beyond others at his level. His Taixu Heaven-Escaping Art lets him turn into water and flee. His nameless Breath-Concealment Art disguises him as an ordinary mortal. The remains of the Mysterious Origin become his clone, while swarms of Gold-Eating Ants blot out the sky. These are far from his only trump cards.
He seeks neither fame nor fortune, and he isn’t entangled in love. He only wants to walk this path a little longer and have fewer regrets.
As tiny as dust, yet above that dust lie every step he has taken.
Watch as the protagonist kills decisively, plans each step, reaches the pinnacle of the Mortal Realm, and becomes Ye the Celestial Venerable, revered by all.
The reality of painstaking efforts, a grand and real world of immortality.
Picking and choosing, it's either a golden finger or a system, but in the dark, I found this masterpiece. The author said that he must work hard to create a sense of reality. Since he is a mortal cultivating immortality, there are no cheats, no harem, and no self-centered enjoyment of the protagonist in the "Shuang Wen"... Looking forward to the plot after the protagonist truly embarks on the path of spiritual practice. The plot describing the protagonist's hard work at the beginning is a bit too long and can be deleted appropriately.
In the impetuous environment of Tomato, which is full of cool articles, it is rare for such a unique novel to appear. The whole novel gave me the feeling that it is neither arrogant nor impetuous, step by step, cautious and restrained. Perhaps this is the way to avoid cheating on the protagonist in the world of cultivation. Flaws still exist, but I also saw the author's continuous improvement and improvement during the reading process. I hope the author will continue to update and maintain his original intention.
It's quite a different book. It feels like it's just the beginning. Although it's very slow, Ye Weichen takes every step very solidly. Just like what is said in the book, walking fast does not necessarily mean walking steadily. I look forward to the follow-up plot.
Yes, although the development is slow, every step is solid and more realistic. I've read so many novels with a lot of bullshit, and it's good to see how powerful it can be slowly taking its time. The times are developing too fast these days, but things come slowly and are hard-won!
This is the first time I encountered a fairy tale that starts like this. There is no golden finger. The protagonist is a handyman in a sect, and the sect's handyman must work for 20 years before he can test his spiritual roots. In this case, the male protagonist uses medicine and draws talismans to strengthen his body and improve himself step by step. The story is narrated and fascinating. Keep listening.
The overall logic is online, with a bit of "Xuan Chen Dao" charm.
The farther back you go, the better it looks. An ordinary person, just like the name "Mote", as long as he persists and uses his brain, he will still become a big boss little by little😄
The plot of the story more realistically reflects the struggle of the monks at the bottom, who are cautious, walking on thin ice and care about everything. Other than the writing being a bit verbose, there are no major problems.
The writing is good, the story is eloquently written, and the struggle of a little person to survive is vividly written.
