   I humbly request all my godparents to check out this book if possible. Aside from the first chapter being a bit long-winded and setting up, the rest is incredibly exciting. It's a ensemble piece about cultivation, full of thrills and action. After reading the second chapter, if you don't like it, feel free to criticize me. This book is entirely handwritten; I've poured a tremendous amount of effort into it. I know hard work doesn't guarantee success, and relying on sympathy won't get you anywhere. I just want to give my work a chance. The following is an excerpt from the novel. If you like it, please take a look. I, Tianjiao, would like to express my sincere gratitude to all my godparents. Content: As Li Siyue revealed herself, countless vengeful spirits shrouded in thick black energy surged forth from the ground like a tidal wave. Their faces were ferocious and terrifying. Some gripped Li Siyue's ankles and bit them, while others opened their fanged maws and lunged at her body. Terrifying screams echoed from all directions, reverberating throughout the entire cave. Li Siyue's eyes sharpened, and she instantly activated the Cold Moon Technique. In an instant, the cold moonlight surged from her body. The ghosts that had lunged at her before they could even touch her clothes were instantly frozen by the extreme cold contained within the moonlight, turning into crystal-clear ice sculptures suspended in the air. Li Siyue lightly touched the ground with her toes, and a visible ripple of moonlight spread out from her. The ghosts that had entangled her ankles didn't even have time to scream before shattering like glass within the ripples, dissipating into countless ice crystals. She leaped into the air, her spiritual power intertwining with the power of the cold moonlight, condensing into thousands of moon-colored flying swords around her. The swords spun wildly around her, emitting sharp whistling sounds. As the sword energy crisscrossed, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a thick layer of frost instantly formed on the stone walls. Li Siyue lightly raised her jade-like hand and pointed towards the thousands of ice-sculpted ghosts suspended in mid-air. "Go!" A thousand flying swords shot out simultaneously, like a reversed silver meteor shower, each sword precisely piercing through an ice sculpture. The vengeful spirits of the ghosts were as fragile as paper before the moonlight flying swords. The moment they were pierced, the ice layer, along with the ghosts within, shattered into countless ice shards. The black energy was purified by the moonlight, emitting a hissing sound. Thousands of ghost soldiers were completely annihilated in a single breath. Then, even denser black energy surged forth from the cracks in the walls, from the corpses of cultivators, from the stone walls, and from the torches. Countless vengeful spirits surged out from all directions like a tidal wave, densely packed, filling the entire cave.
