   This book by Tie Zhi is a classic among classics, the last swan song of the Xianxia genre! There's no mindless overreaching or overpowered antics; every character is distinct, even the supporting roles have rich life experiences! It's humorous and witty! The Amazon rainforest, known as the "lungs of Earth," is experiencing a spiritual resurgence. It's not about being a saint (it doesn't interfere with cause and effect, and respects the fate of others). This is truly meant to be savored slowly. The pacing is slow; it's set on Earth in the 1980s, featuring a cowherd in a mountain village (who dreams of cultivating immortality). It's a traditional Xianxia novel (with early episodes focusing on Earth martial arts), not clichéd, and with a fresh theme. If you like stories about ordinary people, check it out; there's also a cultivation world later on!

    Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, Tomato is ruthless! He actually bought "Sword Comes"! Amazing! Let me introduce you to three of the most popular online novelists. Mao Ni's representative works: *Fighter of the Destiny*, *Joy of Life* [Angry Banana] Representative works: *Hidden Killer*, *My Heroic Husband* [Feng Huo Xi Zhu Hou] Representative works: *Sword Comes*, *The Snow Sword* The author's clever plot twists and subtle foreshadowing always manage to surprise you. The details you might not have noticed could be the key to breaking the deadlock. Angry Banana excels in character development and atmosphere creation, making him one of the few male authors I've seen who can write emotional storylines with such delicacy. As for the story of the beacon fire that amused the feudal lords, you'll find out after reading this book. When reading the books by these three authors, please be sure to read them slowly and carefully, word by word. Avoid skimming, or you'll be completely bewildered! 🤪🤪 Those who prefer fast-paced, exciting stories can move on to other books. //Book_ids=6555680503620439044

    A fantasy novel for adults, full of excitement, desire, and defying the heavens. "Is Your Life Enough to Pay?" By Bu Qiu Zhang. The male protagonist starts out dumped and impoverished. He unexpectedly obtains a cultivation inheritance. He cultivates the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions, yet insists on controlling cause and effect—whoever wrongs him will be repaid a hundredfold; whoever loves him will be protected with his life. Along the way, he encounters various girls, each one treating him sincerely. Dual cultivation is both a deepening of their relationship and a breakthrough in their cultivation. From mortal to the pinnacle, he achieves: to have his beloved forever, and for the world to submit to him.
