   Suitable for readers who enjoy Eastern fantasy, ensemble plots, and the clash of multiple gods. If you're tired of formulaic cultivation stories, this book will offer a mind-blowing journey of fantasy. 1. **Folklore as the backbone, fantasy as the wings:** From a village in the Zhongnan Mountains to the Greek pantheon, traditional Feng Shui and Yin-Yang principles are seamlessly integrated with the modern cultivation system. 2. **Subtle foreshadowing:** The truth behind the three village rules of Gujing Village, the identities of the three figures in the Taoist temple, and the mystery of the senior disciple's disappearance are all key foreshadowing elements running throughout the story. 3. **Exhilarating anti-cliché experience:** The protagonist excels at using underhanded tactics to break through obstacles, achieving victory against all odds (such as uniting the divine realm to defeat Poseidon), making for thrilling battles of wits. 4. **Grand yet detailed:** The descriptions of the rune repair during the Warlord's reign and the epiphany in the Ruins of Time are detailed, hardcore, and full of imagination.
