    Dear godfathers and godmothers, if you can, please check out this book. Aside from the first chapter being a bit long-winded and setting up, the rest is incredibly exciting. It's a group cultivation story, full of passion and excitement, and features a gathering of geniuses. 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 writing a shout-out. The following is an excerpt from the novel. If you like it, feel free to take a look. I, Tianjiao, would like to thank all my godfathers and godmothers. Content: As Liu Yu stretched out her hands, the void behind her trembled violently, and a nine-tailed fox phantom, tens of feet tall, suddenly appeared, radiating a terrifying, savage pressure. Then, Liu Yu clasped her hands together, and the nine-tailed fox phantom behind her simultaneously extended its front paws, slamming them together against the incoming death energy spear. Boom! The deathly spear shattered between the fox's claws, turning into a thick cloud of black mist, which was then gently blown away by the nine-tailed fox's phantom. Xu Feng laughed and clapped his hands, "Impressive, impressive, worthy of being a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator... Even more wonderful than I expected." He licked his lips, "Only prey like you is worth tasting." With that, he wiped the smile from his face and turned to the other ghost generals, "What are you all standing there for? Attack!" As soon as he finished speaking, the six ghost generals, except for Qian Yuan, transformed into six streaks of black mist and shot straight towards the cultivators except for Liu Yu and the other nine. The next moment, desperate screams rose and fell as one cultivator after another was grabbed by the throats and lifted off the ground by the ghost generals. The ghosts rapidly drained the blood and yang energy from their bodies, causing them to wither and shrivel, eventually leaving behind empty-eyed, gaping corpses tossed carelessly into pools of blood. The remaining cultivators, driven mad by the prospect of death, launched a fierce attack on the ghost general. In an instant, all their most powerful and secret techniques were unleashed, the terrifying energy fluctuations further exacerbating the already devastated landscape. The earth was torn open, leaving deep, bottomless ravines; rubble, severed limbs, and fragments of magical artifacts mingled together, turning to dust in the raging energy turbulence.

    The first book was really good; the female lead immediately destroyed the system, and it was full of plot twists and turns, even incorporating elements of Sun Tzu's Art of War. The writing was also excellent. The second book made me cry in the middle. I didn't quite understand it at first, but by the end, I was crying uncontrollably, and the female lead's character was quite normal.

    If you love ensemble-themed cultivation novels, give this a try! The premise of a declining sect joining a natural disaster really made me feel that the relationship between the four masters and disciples was exceptionally good, and the overall cultivation setting also made for a highly readable read!

    They're all super good! There's also a space-themed novel that's purely mecha-based, called "Selling Everything to Go to School," which doesn't feature food.
