The world view of the novel is huge, with light and shadow, darkness and light coexisting. The description of the copy is tense and terrifying, with a full sense of atmosphere, such as the copy of a factory or a hospital.

    I've been staying up late lately to catch up on updates! This supernatural and immortal novel "Xantong Edict" made me want to put it down right from the beginning! I was completely amazed by "Volume 1: Lost in Ancient Alleys, Stealing Treasures in Illusions"! This is definitely the top supernatural and immortal-themed opening I have read this year. I recommend it to all my friends who are book lovers with five stars! The opening chapter is so high-energy, who would have thought that a daily task of delivering a shroud would become the key to entering the ghost world? The description of the heroine Sun Ruihe riding a motorcycle and accidentally entering Huaian Road is so graphic! The suffocating feeling of "ghost hitting the wall" and the golden light when the imperial green emerald lotus hairpin breaks through the barrier, seem to be happening right in front of your eyes. The author Jiang Xueying has a first-class skill in rendering the horror atmosphere, but does not blindly pile up scary elements. The unique eerie beauty of oriental monsters makes people scared and want to watch it. The heroine is so sassy and her IQ is online throughout. Sun Ruihe is not the kind of little white flower waiting to be rescued. From using family-inherited spells to break obstacles, to thinking calmly in desperate situations, to rapid growth after receiving inheritance, every step relies on one's own wisdom and courage. I especially like how transparently she sticks to her true heart when faced with the test of Fairy Xuanji - to cultivate immortality first, cultivate your heart, this core is so correct! Watching her transformation from panic to determination, to holding a red lotus jade bracelet and sneaking back into the Ghost Emperor's Palace was so satisfying.

    "I'm about to enter the ghost realm for the assessment. I'm so scared!" "Me too. It's said that three students were hanged and strangled to death by ghosts in the ghost realm in the last exam!" "I've heard of even scarier ones! Several students were burnt to death by ghosts and turned into coke, and even the corpses couldn't be distinguished!" "Woo~ Stop talking, I'm so scared!" "..." In the classroom of the third year of high school, a group of students were discussing nervously. As a result, the discussion became more and more tense, and several girls almost cried. "Don't worry, students, as long as we follow what we usually learn, we can basically deal with these ghosts!" Zhou Xun, the head teacher, tried his best to comfort the students. After all, what we learn in school is theoretical knowledge, so it is understandable that students are afraid of being nervous. But in this tense atmosphere, an excited exclamation suddenly broke out from the back of the classroom! "Five kills! Five kills!" Lin Mo held up his cell phone and almost fell off his stool in excitement. The next second, the whole class looked at Lin Mo with strange expressions. He is about to enter the Ghost Realm. Does he still have the heart to play games? Is he really not afraid of ghosts? So fierce! "Who am I? Where am I?" At this moment, Lin Mo was even more confused. That's right, I traveled through time. He got a pentakill and actually traveled through time! He also traveled to a world where the ghost energy was revived. Fierce ghosts are rampant here, and ghost waves are constantly forming to attack cities one after another. The living range of human beings is getting smaller and smaller. In order to hold on to the last human base, the profession of ghost master was born. Just like controlling beasts, humans sign contracts with controllable ghosts and fight through summons to resist ghosts that are out of control and enjoy killing people! Therefore, major high schools and universities are also training ghost masters. "This world is so scary!" "I'll play another game to calm my nerves!" Lin Mo turned on his phone again. "We are about to enter the ghost realm for the assessment. Do you still have the heart to play games?" "Have you reviewed all your theoretical knowledge? Then let me ask you, what is the correct way to deal with a burned ghost?" Zhou Xun was very angry and knocked on the blackboard and asked.
