   I was truly amazed by Tomato's Xianxia novel! "Cultivating Immortality Through the Ghostly Path" boasts masterful writing, an unconventional and incredibly engaging plot, a complete departure from typical light novels, and it gets more and more addictive with each reading! Shen Yan, a disciple of the Tai Xuan Temple, was pierced through the heart by his senior brother's sword and jumped into the Cold Bone Pool clutching a divine lamp. Five years later, he returned as a vengeful ghost—he neither devours souls nor harms lives, focusing solely on cultivating merit, becoming the fearsome Soul-Soothing Ghost King feared by the entire Netherworld. Pursued by the Underworld? He fought back. Besieged by other Ghost Kings? He was recruited. To save his master who was sacrificed, he broke through the Pure Yang restriction, switched to the Human Path, and condensed a half-human, half-ghost body, instantly doubling his combat power. In the final battle at the Imperial Mausoleum, the truth was revealed: he was not a traitor, but the key to sealing the Demon Lord; his master had willingly sacrificed himself, and he had reincarnated a hundred times. The female lead, Su Qingyuan, is neither a burden nor love-struck; with a Pure Yang Sword Heart protecting her soul, she single-handedly slays powerful enemies, fighting alongside the male lead. The romance is engaging and not melodramatic. With its merit system, underworld setting, triple reversal of the Investiture of the Gods, rich character portrayals, and tight, non-padded plot, it stands out among a host of Xianxia novels. No wonder it's so addictive!

    Beneath the suspension bridge, everything was shrouded in mist and vapor from the waterfall. Cao Sheng, on the bridge, could only hear the rushing water; he couldn't hear the sound of the water cascading down to its apex. Clearly, the waterfall's descent was extremely far from the bridge. After traveling ten miles, the bridge swayed even more violently, and a strange sound rang out. A murderous aura immediately enveloped Cao Sheng. Then, a black shadow with a wingspan of several miles flashed past beneath the bridge. The shadow stirred up a stream of water from the waterfall, which struck the bridge, creating a series of splashing sounds. The shadow vanished in a flash, and the murderous aura dissipated with it; apart from the sound of the waterfall, there was nothing else. The murderous aura he had just experienced had left Cao Sheng drenched in cold sweat. Even after it disappeared, the murderous intent that seemed capable of killing him with a flick of the wrist still made Cao Sheng's heart pound wildly. But this very killing intent spurred Cao Sheng, giving rise to a heroic spirit capable of destroying heaven and earth. His steps, no longer hesitant, became firm as he strode towards the end of the suspension bridge. A quarter of an hour later, Cao Sheng, having strode confidently, finally reached the end of the bridge. Inside a pavilion inscribed with the words 'Nourishing the Mind', the sound of the waterfall subsided, and the mist thinned considerably. Everything hidden in the mist was quietly dispersed by a sweeping breeze. This pavilion stood atop a mountain peak, the waterfall about ten miles away. Looking down, all that could be seen was a vast, boundless expanse, its bottom unseen. Yet, some flowers and plants growing on the cliffs along the riverbank revealed themselves. The colorful blossoms, carrying a vibrant fragrance, accompanied the surging spiritual energy. This made Cao Sheng's heart feel even more utterly desolate and empty. Inside the pavilion, there was a stone bench, a stone table, a guzheng (a traditional Chinese zither), and a flute beside it. Nothing else. These items were all ancient and weathered, lacking any luster or shine. Filled with disappointment, Cao Sheng looked at these worthless objects and turned to leave. But after a few steps, he turned back and put the guzheng and flute into his bracelet. He thought that even exchanging them for a couple of ounces of wine would be worthwhile. "Hmm?" Cao Sheng, about to leave again, took the guzheng, and a row of small characters on the stone table appeared: "The Luo River plunges from the sky, its torrents cascading, reaching deep into the Nine Springs, nourishing the bright and clear. A suspension bridge before the waterfall connects the sun and moon, day and night cycle within. The roc's cry shakes the sky, flashing like thunder, its wings spread a hundred miles, beyond the reach of the divine. The bridge rises, the sound of hooves echoing, the waterfall falls silent, the thunder ceases, and the roc is startled. The emerald flute's overlapping notes appear like rainbows, the broken river echoes through heaven and earth. Behold the long bridge sways gently, only a lone boy leading his horse can be seen." Cao Sheng read this awkward passage aloud. "What nonsense!" With Cao Sheng's literary cultivation, hearing this, he knew he hadn't understood the poem's meaning. But he at least knew one thing: the waterfall cascading into the depths was called the Luo River. Cao Sheng left, running down a solitary path from the pavilion. After he left, a giant bird, a hundred feet tall, landed on the suspension bridge. Its massive size didn't cause the bridge to sway in the slightest. It gazed at the direction Cao Sheng had left, motionless for a long time. But its enormous eyes held a look of long-lost joy at seeing him again. When Cao Sheng reached the ground, the scene of the Luo River and the sound of its rushing waters were gone. He looked around and found himself in a grand hall again. He tried to find the solitary path he had just come from, but it had vanished without a trace. This hall was not as spacious as the 'Council Hall,' and it was filled with rows of bookshelves. Cao Sheng glanced at them and, finding no treasures, left disappointed. To him, only a fool would read those books that made him sleepy. Then, he began to wander on the white jade floor again. As time passed, his mind filled with only the desire to find treasure, he quickened his pace, visiting every hall and pavilion. And anything he fancied, anything he could plunder, he put into his bracelet. Foolish as he was, he still hadn't figured out why this palace complex existed. He only saw it as a place for exploration, a place to collect treasures. And in truth, that was always his nature. The palace complex, stretching for thousands of miles, couldn't be completely looted by Cao Sheng in a short time. In just a few hours, Cao Sheng's bracelet was overflowing, with no room left. Now, in a pavilion marked 'Hidden Weapons Pavilion,' he looked at the densely packed weapons on a single floor and was troubled. Finally, he threw away some of the non-glowing items from his bracelet, packed dozens of gleaming golden weapons of various kinds, and left this place that had caused him so much sorrow. And he never went to any more palaces or pavilions. Simply because he could no longer bear to discard or exchange any of the items in his bracelet.
