    Check out this book, you won't be disappointed. *A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Starting with a Chaos Talisman* is a novel with a "no system, mortal cultivation" theme, telling the legendary tale of Xu Chang'an, a young man with mixed spiritual roots, who defies fate with a single, heaven-creating treasure, the "Chaos Talisman." The novel abandons formulaic leveling up tropes, captivating readers with solid cultivation details and the brutal survival rules of the cultivation world—from the thrilling escape from the Green-skinned Wolf in Spirit Beast Mountain, to refining magical artifacts to counter the Chen family's conspiracy, and then to improving the Qi Luck Golden Talisman to break through the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, every chapter is filled with the tension of life and death. The author skillfully blends traditional cultivation elements such as talisman making and artifact refining. The protagonist rises in the demonic cave with wisdom and resilience, offering both the thrill of "smashing an old wolf with one punch" and the grand battle of "fighting Yang Jian with illusions and realities," making it a truly hardcore masterpiece of the mortal cultivation genre!
