    They say good wine needs no bush, but these three books are truly hidden away. The authors of these three books haven't promoted them on any platform; this is truly authentic Taoist literature. These are books you wouldn't want to share with others even after reading them—like having a hundred dollars but not wanting to lend it to anyone. They contain clear classifications of Taoist cultivation levels, including humans, ghosts, demons, and zombies, as well as various talismans with different levels. Later chapters even include ancient or lost techniques for making white and gray talismans, and transparent talismans that are impossible to find anywhere in the world… The book is incredibly detailed, detailing spell incantations and hand gestures. The protagonist possesses a vast array of powerful spells and techniques, built upon multiple lifetimes of memories. The author's imagination is truly astounding; I can't even begin to describe it. There are no power level collapses in the plot. The storylines are incredibly numerous. I have so many things I want to mention, but I can't put them into words. The author's writing is simply brilliant; even "brilliant" doesn't fully capture the essence of this book. (The original world, other worlds, the ultimate plane, only one high-level plane, slightly fewer mid-level planes, many low-level planes, each plane containing numerous worlds, etc.) (Great Bewitching Technique, Starburst Technique, Mind Control Ghost Threads, Senluo Sword Array, Great Handprint… so many! Just listen…) (Unheard-of spells and ultimate techniques) (Being caught up in the memories of a super evil master in both the Yin and Yang realms, living a life from a first-person or third-person perspective; having your soul swapped with people from other worlds every now and then by a mysterious force, spending one or more days in their bodies; being caught up in ancient times or a certain time node in another world, trying to survive and complete tasks to receive rewards from the mysterious power of the ultimate world, or being annihilated if you fail to complete the tasks; being caught up in a mysterious space node where nine hundred-foot-long gates connecting to other worlds appear in the sky, containing Taoist priests, zombies, and other creatures from other worlds, etc... Super super super super many plots)

    Reader note

    Look at this! I suspect this author isn't just pretending. Not only does he write about it in the novel, but he also teaches readers how to break through physical barriers and improve their health. Moreover, the writing style is top-notch, and the plot is tight. I personally feel that this is the pinnacle of this genre. You'll regret it if you don't read it!
