    💫This is a simulation-based cultivation novel. There's no suppression of cultivation levels; the protagonist progresses from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul in just a few days. One time he simulates someone releasing an old man, the next he's killed. The only drawback is that the author is too sloppy.

    A fast-paced cultivation novel, absolutely exhilarating, without any frustrating moments or overly sentimental characters, updated daily with 10,000 words. The protagonist cultivates at lightning speed, breaking through levels as easily as drinking water. Upon entering the sect, he becomes a holy son, receiving guidance from various masters. These masters are incredibly generous, and the protagonist doesn't refuse them, relentlessly tormenting them whenever he gets his hands on one.
