    Check out this book! No system, genius protagonist, survivalist, pretending to be weak while actually being strong. It features the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core cultivation systems. Neither the protagonist nor the antagonists are stupid. There are no simple face-slapping moments or scenes that would make anyone want to curse the protagonist. Liu Nian has top-grade spiritual roots and is born with the protection of the most powerful Nascent Soul cultivator and a late-stage Nascent Soul master on the Xuanhuang Continent. Secret realms and treasures practically beg for his attention. Yet, he only wants to survive in the cultivation world. It's a story of gradual growth, starting with a stalemate. It's not just about cultivation; the protagonist transmigrates from Earth, has a group of great figures behind him, and gradually rises to become a powerful figure. There's a single female lead, but she's an important part of the main storyline. Looking forward to your reviews, fellow cultivation masters! [Salute][Salute][Salute]

    As a 25-year veteran bookworm, I highly recommend a new book! This one will absolutely satisfy your needs! It's a mortal cultivation family novel where the protagonist, Li Changsheng, transmigrates to the Tianyuan Continent just as his family undergoes a major upheaval, forcing them to migrate to the Southern Wilderness. Without a system to help him or any benefactors, this fifth-grade mixed spiritual root cultivator, relying on a copy of the Tao Te Ching from his past life's memories, defies fate and changes the landscape of the Southern Wilderness, creating a magnificent and grand scene... Traditional cultivation: Qi Refining - Foundation Establishment - Golden Core - Nascent Soul - Deity Transformation - Mahayana... No saintly characters, no brainless idiots, various foreshadowing elements, and all sorts of grudges and affections!

    The Myriad Souls Banner refines evil spirits, controls corpses and puppets, cultivates both Yin and Yang, is a mortal cultivation story, has no system, is not a wish-fulfillment novel, both protagonists and antagonists are intelligent, and the characters are complex and three-dimensional, not stereotypical. Worth reading for veteran readers tired of mindless wish-fulfillment novels.
