    I'm only recommending one book that I think is better than reading two or three others. I've read it twice, and that's my biggest takeaway from it. It doesn't have a systematic or complex cultivation system; the Xianxia worldview is simple, but that doesn't detract from the complete and established history of cultivation heroes behind it. Every description of cultivation is a coherent and thought-provoking background. However, the most captivating aspect of the novel isn't just the cultivation aspect. Although I really enjoy the martial arts fight scenes, I feel they only serve as a backdrop in this novel.

    At first, I thought it was a collection of horror stories, but as I read on, I found it to be quite heartwarming. As it continued, there was a theme of justice and cause and effect. Even I, a rough guy, was moved to tears by the part about the family of seven. A perfect recommendation! ❤️

    "You mere mortal Xiang Yu, how dare you speak so arrogantly before the demon realm? Today, I, the immortal, will use the Primordial Purple Poison to transform your war god's body and corrode your unparalleled divine soul, so that you will know that the might of an ancient demon is not something a short-lived ghost like you can withstand!" Before the words were finished, Qiu Shou Xian launched the first attack! He didn't bother to waste words with Xiang Yu. The demon realm was ruthless and decisive, and his attack was a killing blow! Qiu Shou Xian's left hand formed the Myriad Poisons Technique, and his right hand lashed out with the Poison Dragon Devouring Immortal Whip. The whip instantly grew to ten thousand feet in length, transforming into a purplish-black poisonous dragon with a ferocious head and exposed fangs, spewing purple poisonous mist from its mouth as it lashed down at Xiang Yu's head! This whip, named the Poison Dragon Devouring Immortal and Annihilating God Whip, integrates the laws of poison, space, and devouring. With a single lash, space itself collapses layer by layer. Wherever the poison dragon passes, the void transforms into a poisonous domain, corroding everything. Even the primordial runes on the arena are riddled with cracks by the poisonous mist. Its power is enough to instantly kill an ordinary ancient Golden Immortal! The purplish-black poison dragon blots out the sky, and the poisonous mist envelops the entire arena. The corrosive power of the primordial purple poison spreads, and even the immortals and gods below the stage can feel the piercing poison. They all circulate their immortal power to resist. Yuan Tiangang's starry eyes narrowed slightly, and he gently rotated the fortune-measuring ruler in his hand, locking in a trace of Heavenly Dao fortune for Xiang Yu. Zhou Shi gripped the remnant blade of the Heaven-Opening Blade tightly, ready to forcefully break the rules and intervene should Xiang Yu be in danger, but was stopped by a wisp of purple energy from the Supreme Lord Laozi.
