   AI recommends this gem of a book, a tale of action and intrigue, sharp and visceral, without unnecessary dragging, harem tropes, or insulting intelligence. This is a hidden gem whose title doesn't do it justice—the battles are decisive and swift, with no unnecessary dialogue. Absolutely original, the plot defies imagination, and avoids the clichéd cultivation storyline. The protagonist is reborn in 1980s China, witnessing the tumultuous historical process and rising from the very bottom of society. The author's depiction of the immortal realm and the so-called divine realm completely breaks away from traditional cultivation settings, taking you into an unprecedented extraordinary world…

    No system, no harem, no invincible, no brainless, no exaggeration, no harem, no saintly protagonist. The protagonist is intelligent, decisive, and the plot and writing are good. It's a lighthearted and humorous rebirth-themed cultivation novel. The protagonist is tricked into cultivating, and he cultivates while making sarcastic remarks. He cultivates both his physical and magical abilities, gradually increasing his cultivation level. He pretends to be weak while actually being strong. It's a long story, lighthearted and funny with exciting moments. The plot is tight and not boring, and the pace isn't too fast. If you like this kind of story, please check it out!
