    Take your time and read carefully. It's still stuck in the Qi Refining stage for several hundred chapters, so the pace is slow, but the fight scenes are exciting! This is the closest novel to *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality* by Tomato!

    Having been a Tomato fan for so long, this is the only book I've read from cover to cover without skipping any chapters. It has nothing to do with *Slaying Gods*, and it's not in that kind of wacky style; it's full of sophistication. Basically, everyone who's read it will reread it several times, because each reading brings new insights. And it's not your average post-apocalyptic story; it has nothing to do with zombies or anything like that. Whether you understand or not, just read it!!!
