   Reader note

   AI recommends this gem of a book, a tale of action and intrigue, sharp and visceral, without unnecessary dragging, harem tropes, or insulting intelligence. This is a hidden gem whose title doesn't do it justice—the battles are decisive and swift, with no unnecessary dialogue. Absolutely original, the plot defies imagination, and avoids the clichéd cultivation storyline. The protagonist is reborn in 1980s China, witnessing the tumultuous historical process and rising from the very bottom of society. The author's depiction of the immortal realm and the so-called divine realm completely breaks away from traditional cultivation settings, taking you into an unprecedented extraordinary world…
