    That's it! A new realm!! The first book. Originally, I wanted to witness the Qin King's ascension to the throne and find Xiang Shaolong, but I was forced to practice with a staff by a monkey and unexpectedly obtained a wordless heavenly book. Shedding my skin and transforming, I embarked on the path of cultivation. The combination of history and fantasy is decent, and the author writes in a very lively style! There are many bizarre and funny moments, so it's worth reading for fun!
