Cultivators across the land spend their lives in arduous cultivation, all for the sake of ascending to immortality.
Until the day the sect leader ascended, when Lu Chen saw the corpses of every person who had ascended over the past three thousand years hanging beyond the Immortal Gate.
Among them was his master, who had become an immortal twelve years earlier.
His master, dead for many years, opened his eyes and said only four words:
"Do not ascend."
That night, the Immortal Welcoming Bell of the Taixuan Sect rang.
The sect leader, who had just ascended, returned.
Everyone knelt to welcome the immortal.
Only Lu Chen saw that there was no heart in his body.
And the red chain piercing through him stretched all the way to the heavens.
Only then did Lu Chen begin to wonder:
Were people truly cultivating the Great Dao of Immortality, or were they following a road to death that had long been laid out for them?
Um, why are the comments section so full of complaints about it being bad, and about AI-generated filler content? They say the protagonist is talking to himself, and the master's surname keeps changing from Xie to Gu – did you really understand that? There's nothing wrong with it. There's no talking to himself, it's all deduction.
This book reminds me a bit of *Candlelight Over the South*, which had a good plot, but it was all about AI, and even the author didn't seem to understand what they were writing. I hope this one isn't entirely AI, or at least not entirely AI-driven, and that the author has their own clear structure.
It's mainly dialogue-based, and the approach is quite novel. It's unclear how it will unfold, but so far it seems alright.
It looks good, much better than all the same old thing.
The suspense was well designed.
This is my first time seeing this kind of subject matter, and it's absolutely amazing! It's a gem! 👍👍👍
It's well-written, and so far there are no major flaws. It's much better than those rambling, formulaic novels. It's a good book.
This is a truly amazing book; the author has a fantastic imagination. Please update soon! 😘
It's good, much better than those stuff about testing spiritual roots, slapping faces, cultivation, and having a system.
