   The first book features the protagonist, Yin Tianzi, and has a somewhat invincible feel to it. Just like the title suggests, the protagonist cultivates the underworld in the early stages, joins the Great Tribulation in the middle stages, and I haven't read the later stages yet. It's very high-class, the protagonist is intelligent, and his IQ is always on point. There is no female lead and no ambiguous relationships. I especially like it. It's already completed. The second book features the protagonist, Bai Wuchang, who catches ghosts. The style is more like daily life.
