    The Dharma is the foundation of cultivation, yet after the Dao Ancestor, although many cultivation methods arose, none achieved further progress. The Dao Ancestor divided the Great Dao into the Five Elements, and all cultivation methods in the world could no longer transcend the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The Dao Ancestor said that talents differed, so all sects in the world only cared about the quality of spiritual roots when accepting disciples.

    This book by Tiezhi starts from Earth! There's no mindless overreaching or overpowered characters; every character is distinct, even the supporting ones have rich life experiences! It's humorous and witty! The Amazon rainforest, known as the "lungs of Earth," is experiencing a spiritual resurgence. It's not about being a saint (it doesn't interfere with cause and effect, and respects the fate of others). This is truly meant to be savored slowly. The pacing is slow; it's set on Earth in the 1980s, featuring a cowherd in a mountain village (who dreams of cultivating immortality). It's a traditional cultivation fantasy (initially facing Earth's martial arts world), not clichéd, with a fresh theme. If you like stories about ordinary people, check it out! The cultivation world will be introduced later!
