   This novel, starting from chapter 200, features a red-haired protagonist. The first 200 chapters have a somewhat immature writing style; those who find them unreadable can skip them. After chapter 200, it adopts a typical red-haired style, with a setting similar to *Covering the Sky*. This is definitely the top choice. The first 200 chapters have some issues; hopefully, the author will revise them. The later chapters are truly excellent.

   This is a fantasy novel, but definitely not fan fiction. The only difference is that it doesn't have a single female lead! The setting is incredible; even reading it made me feel the vastness of that fantasy world. A small piece of "Tong Stone" contains a universe—can you imagine? By harvesting the spiritual energy from that universe, you can increase your strength! Holy crap! Moreover, Tong Stones come in all shapes and sizes, and Tong vein resources are very difficult to discover. Even if you find one, you can forget about getting your hands on it. Tong veins are usually located in extremely dangerous places; even a king would be doomed if he went in. This requires the appearance of a long-lost "Tong Seeker Immortal Master." A Tong Seeker is someone skilled in finding Tong veins and avoiding danger. I feel the author's inspiration came from the Source Master. Note that there are also Divine Source Stones in this story that seal divine blood or the corpses of terrifying creatures, but they are not rare. Immortal Tong veins are the most powerful resources; even the Ten Great Holy Lands cannot find them.

    A Xianxia novel similar to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy," without a system, featuring a single female protagonist. After the Xuanyuan Sword sealed the Heavenly Scar, the Crimson Comet Star returns. The newly chosen Earth Emperor is an incompetent figure. A covert struggle unfolds between humans, demons, and immortals. The story follows a journey through the martial world, where everyone is a protagonist, possessing humanity and thought. It might be a bit slow-paced, but I support it.
