On Wogui Mountain, in Lotus Cove.
A small family of cultivators faces a gap in its Foundation Establishment ranks, and everyone in the clan racks their brains trying to ensure its survival.
Then, unexpectedly, a twenty-year-old young man proposes a path no one has ever taken.
Some years later,
Clan elder, someone in the Wang family has broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining...
Well, a three-spirit-root talent is exceptional to begin with. It was only a matter of time before he broke through. What's there to make such a fuss about?
Some more years later,
Clan head, someone in the Wang family has achieved Foundation Establishment...
What? He was clearly passed over for the clan's full support, and even gave his pills to someone else. How could this...
Some more years after that,
Immortal, that kid from the Wang family has formed a Golden Core...
What do you mean, “that kid”? Show some respect. From today on, you will call him Immortal Wang.
(Mortal-cultivator style, no System. This is a fairly traditional, classical cultivation novel about building up a clan and using strategy to get out of a tight spot. The pace is somewhat slow at first, so please be a little patient.)
Lei Xiu's style is inherently characterized by wide, sweeping movements, so using a sword would actually be a burden. This is just my personal opinion. 🤭
As a family-themed novel, it's not bad. It's just a pity that the writing style changes noticeably around chapter 190. The family's restraint, scheming, and composure suddenly disappear, replaced by a brash and reckless approach. The writing style also changes significantly; the earlier scenes are somewhat somber and depict a period of decline, while the later scenes suddenly become more vibrant. Overall, it's still quite good for a family-themed novel.
The pacing is tight, the plot is full of twists and turns, and it's very enjoyable. The protagonist's character progression isn't exaggerated; it's all gradual and step-by-step. It's definitely worth watching.
Good job, keep it up!
Well written. I hope the author continues their efforts.
I feel it's really well-written; the pacing and character development are excellent.
