   A classic mortal cultivation story featuring a protagonist with five spiritual roots, a humble villager from a remote mountain village with an extremely low starting point, and a plot full of scheming. The protagonist is calculating, taking every step with ulterior motives, and is intelligent enough to succeed through anything. He cultivates Qi, establishes his foundation, forms his core, and transforms into a Nascent Soul and Deity... It's already 700,000 words long and is quite substantial; definitely worth reading when you're looking for something to read. [Under pressure][Under pressure]
