   Reader note

   There is a romantic pairing, but their presence is minimal; the romance is almost nonexistent, purely serving to advance the plot. It's incredibly good, and it's finished. Unlike other cultivation novels I've read, the characters are vividly portrayed, each truly possessing their own distinct personality. No one is weakened to highlight the female lead. It can be said that the disciples of the Supreme Sect each have their own unique talents, not just those of the female lead. Everyone excels in their own area; even Lin Du cannot be proficient in everything. They are all protagonists, young geniuses, and they complement each other. Without the group from the Supreme Sect, there might not be the later story. Lin Du, and without Lin Du, there might not be that group of people from the Supreme Sect. In the book, I saw a true "righteous path." Perhaps there are conflicts of interest, perhaps there are individual schemes, but when faced with a great enemy, every cultivator in the righteous path, by their instinctive upbringing, chooses not to seek personal gain, but to work together (quoting the book's original words). There are no villains like in typical cultivation novels, no vicious supporting characters envying the protagonist. Even if they can't catch up with those exceptionally talented prodigies, they can only sigh: "A young talent, truly extraordinary!" Just like the bright moon and gentle breeze, it is as it should be. Lin Du, Lin Du, she can save herself and all living beings; her Dao heart has always been firm.

    This is a good book, a slow burn, completely different from the centenarian cultivation style in comics and TV series. It follows the protagonist's journey from the origin of the red gourd, through his travels to the cultivation world, his youth, to becoming a centenarian, how he develops a heavenly spiritual root, how he takes revenge, and how he dominates the cultivation world. The plot is exciting and fast-paced, with many memorable scenes. I highly recommend it; you definitely won't regret buying it.
