   Reader note

   A demonic cultivator, without a system, a cunning and ruthless sixth brother, decisive in killing. This book leans towards a dark cultivation novel. The protagonist, for survival, will stop at nothing to stay alive. Mountains of corpses and seas of blood are inevitable. The protagonist's character is vividly portrayed. It reflects the treacherous nature of the cultivation world, where only fellow cultivators are sacrificed, and a cautious approach is paramount. When faced with a challenge, if not through direct confrontation, escape is the best option. The story is unconventional. The protagonist is intelligent. Although the story has some flaws, they do not detract from its overall merit. While ruthless in the struggle for the Great Dao, a sliver of compassion remains.

    Three extraordinary books on Taoist philosophy, unlocking the wisdom of spiritual practice. If you yearn for Taoist classics but are troubled by the obscure classical Chinese, these three extraordinary books that explain profound principles through stories will surely enlighten you. *Laojun's Journey to the West: The Transmission of the Lamp* is a key to understanding Taoist classics. Using the legend of Laojun's journey to the west as its main thread, it blends the profundity of the *Tao Te Ching*, the philosophy of the *Taiping Jing*, and the subtlety of the *Baopuzi* into vivid stories, making the dry classics lively and easy to understand, effortlessly opening the door to Taoist wisdom. *Wen Shi's Record of Proving the Tao* takes a different approach, teaching the methods of stargazing through engaging stories. No need for rote memorization of theories; simply follow the plot to master the secrets of stargazing and experience the mysteries of the universe. "The Cultivation Record of Prince Xuan Yuan" is even more captivating. Following the cultivation journey of the True Martial Emperor, it vividly recounts the cultivation methods of the Hidden Immortal Sect. The story is full of twists and turns, and the explanations of the methods are both profound and easy to understand. Reading it will satisfy your "story addiction" while also allowing you to grasp the true meaning of cultivation. These three excellent books, using stories as a vessel, will carry you on a journey through the vast ocean of Xuanmen (Taoist) learning—definitely worth reading!

    Perhaps because his status was already established, or perhaps because he was somewhat satisfied with Bai Cang's performance, Zhang He's "deadpan face"—no, his expression—softened considerably. "If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can mention your father's name." My father, Zhang Erhe? Can you handle that? This is a huge karmic debt! Bai Cang couldn't help but complain inwardly, but outwardly remained respectful. "Of course, mentioning my name might not be helpful, at most it can only solve some minor troubles." As if guessing Bai Cang's thoughts, Zhang He added, "If you really cause big trouble, you'd better handle it yourself, so I don't have to clean house." "Yes, godfather, Bai Cang understands." Bai Cang obediently replied. Being open and honest about everything, and saying the unpleasant things upfront, is always better than boasting loudly but then "collapsed and ran away" when things get tough. This was also the bottom line Zhang He drew for Bai Cang: small things are fine, but don't get involved in big things, you don't have the ability, understand?
