    "The System Grants Me Immortality; Only by Living Can I Be Invincible" is a Xianxia novel that blends humor with a rigorous system. The protagonist gains the ability of "immortality" through a system; as long as he lives, he can continuously grow stronger—a premise inherently humorous and absurd. The novel unfolds with a lighthearted and witty style, and the protagonist's various "survival-by-the-doing" maneuvers on his cultivation path often elicit laughter. At the same time, its cultivation system is extremely rigorous, with detailed settings for each stage, from Qi Refining to Ascension. It features a rich variety of elements such as magical treasures, cultivation techniques, and elixirs, constructing a complete and logically consistent cultivation world. If you enjoy the thrill of cultivation amidst laughter but don't want to be fooled by mindless wish-fulfillment novels, this book is definitely worth a try!

    A bookworm for twenty years, especially fond of mortal cultivation novels, among which "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," "Against the Gods," "The Path of the Cultivation Sect Leader," "The Path of Xuan Chen," "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit," and "The Peak of the Azure Lotus" are my favorites. Suddenly, I had the idea to write my own version of the Xianxia genre, without overpowered characters or powerful backers, striving to present a realistic world of cultivation as I envision it. Orphaned at a young age, he relied on his clan for support, only to witness the deaths of his people as he grew up. Neglected by his family and only wanting to live a carefree life, fate brought him his nemesis. Unsuitable for leadership, he now had to shoulder the honor and disgrace of his entire clan due to various circumstances. Wang Xuanyi turned back, taking one last, poignant look at the place where he had grown up, before leading his children and flying away into the distance without looking back… This book tells the story of a small Foundation Establishment clan that, through generations of effort, grows into an immortal clan… Completed at 2.6 Million words, welcome to read!
