   There's no mindless wish-fulfillment fantasy here. Even if the protagonist is incredibly powerful, he's still caught up in the situation. Past grudges are constantly distorted by later generations, and ingrained prejudices are hard to break. The male lead is caught between two opposing stances, having to weigh the pros and cons at every step. The supporting characters also have their own backstories; they're not just there to highlight the protagonist. Overall, the story is quite well-written.

    One is a debut masterpiece by a new author, comparable to "Little Love Immortal Venerable" (though that might be offensive to the author, it really does seem that way). It's a bit clumsy at the beginning but gets better and better, and it's the only novel I've followed since it started. The second is a new work by a veteran author returning to the genre. The quality is top-notch, the theme is fresh, and the content is humorous. Unfortunately, it didn't get much traffic and didn't become very popular (perhaps the author's title wasn't catchy enough).

If you like it, feel free to read it. I thank all my godparents here, and I salute you all. 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.

    This is a multi-female protagonist cultivating immortality in a space-themed genre. The protagonist is a strategist with high emotional and intellectual intelligence, cautious and never fights unprepared. He solves problems intelligently rather than recklessly. He has built a network of vested interests centered around him, encompassing talented cultivators from all five sects within his country. Therefore, when encountering enemies of similar strength, he often doesn't need to personally intervene; a few words are enough for someone within this network to handle the situation. All the main and supporting characters are intelligent, well-developed, logically sound, and the leveling system is reasonable. The only drawback is the slow pace of cultivation advancement, which many readers find unacceptable.

    This novel centers on the extraordinary journey of Jiang Han, a poor boy from a humble background. The story begins with his sister being kidnapped, his father wrongly accused, and himself oppressed by clan elders. In this desperate situation, Jiang Han awakens a demonic beast totem and refines its essence to unlock supernatural powers. From the Purple Mansion Realm to the Profound Nether Realm, he drinks blood with his blade, sweeping across the Nine Provinces under the name "Burying Gods." The novel perfectly blends the epic scale of the battle between gods and demons with the passionate struggle of an ordinary person. Wherever the blade flashes, blood debts are repaid—a pinnacle of the Eastern fantasy underdog story!
