    These five books are all cultivation novels, none of them feature a system. The first one is a romance-style cultivation novel. The second one is quite novel; there are no messy plot twists, the female lead just quietly grows stronger and stronger, and even ascends to immortality. The third one is also quite novel; it perfectly avoids the female lead and directly becomes the sect's patriarch, which is a great plot. The fourth and fifth ones are similar in type, in my opinion.

    Unlike any other, take a look. In the unsystematic Northern Wilderness Qingyun City, all beings are born with a register, and their souls return to the Milky Way after death. Only Ye Chen, who has lived for seventeen years, was judged by the register stele at the pulse-establishment ceremony to be without a register. Fifteen days later, he will be expelled from the Ye family, lose his identity, and even be unable to pass through the city gates. On this very day, the Northern Mountain Mine collapsed with a deafening roar. Thirty-seven corpses were hauled out of the mine, but none left behind a trace of soul; the fate of nineteen miners was unknown, but the city lord's mansion claimed that only nine had perished and sealed off the mine overnight. While guarding the corpses, the black furnace that Ye Chen had worn for seventeen years awakened for the first time. He could see the unfulfilled obsessions of the dead and hear the last wishes buried in darkness. If he could fulfill the last wishes of the dead, he might receive a wisp of embers left behind willingly. But the black furnace never gives away power for nothing. After the embers are exhausted, the soul fire will be rekindled, burning away Ye Chen's own memories. One act might make you forget the taste of a meal; the next, you might forget the faces of old friends, or even why you fought. To rescue those still breathing in the mine, Ye Chen stepped into the deep well that everyone had declared "unsurvivable," only to discover that this mining disaster was merely the tip of the iceberg. Sects forge weapons with souls, imperial clans prolong life with souls, and the lofty Heavenly Order makes all living beings pay a soul tax with their memories and their next life. If so-called peace requires the erasure of names; if the so-called Heavenly Dao only allows all living beings to become fuel—then this heaven should be burned again. What he wanted to become was never to be the master who controls all souls, but to allow every soul to be its own master.

    First, the author is Wang Yu; anyone who has read *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality* needs no further explanation. Second, the rating is completely unworthy of the content. The immortal sea is vast, the world changes, hearts yearn for the Great Dao, and there is loyalty and righteousness. Third, it's the story of a peasant boy becoming an immortal, farming, healing, and traveling the world. Fourth, it's a classic by Tomato (the author), a no-brainer entry.
