    Recommendation for "The Heavenly Stele": While other novels feature protagonists with single-elemental geniuses, this one features a protagonist with ten mixed spiritual roots who is expelled from the Spirit Testing Field.

    You think this is urban fantasy? No, this is a massive soap opera combining a "Demon Lord Development Plan" and a "Repentance Pill for Exes." The male lead, dumped when he's down on his luck, immediately signs a contract—no, a cooperation agreement—with the demon lord within him. He absorbs lifespans, imparts cultivation techniques, and woos various genuinely interested women, breaking through to new heights with each cultivation session. They say I'm greedy, wanting both beauty and the world—I laugh: I cultivate karma, who says I can't have it all?
