    I recommend these three books 1. If I become a demon, I will defeat all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens. 2. It depicts the treacherous nature of the martial arts world, the kindness of humanity, and the ruthless exploitation and oppression that are unscrupulous. 3. The various sects and characters in the martial arts world are integrated together.
