    Highly recommended! The latest and most captivating novels featuring unorthodox methods, bizarre magic, and cultivation: ① The Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, outer sect area, a wooden house. The protagonist, Jiang Zhao, is a transmigrator who has been in this world for eighteen years. He initially thought it was an ordinary ancient world, studying day and night, hoping for a place in the imperial examinations. Until three months ago, he heard that the Ten Thousand Saints Immortal Sect was recruiting disciples, so he traveled a long way to join. Upon entering the sect, he discovered it was called the "Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect," which is essentially a demonic sect. This made Jiang Zhao feel very insecure, but fortunately, he has a cheat ability: a "dual transmigration world," another world called the "World of Bizarre Resurgence," where he can refine monsters to enhance his magic power. Watch as the protagonist, Jiang Zhao, uses the bizarre world to become an immortal and an ancestor in this cultivation world; ② The protagonist, Shen Nuo, transmigrates to a bizarre world, becoming an ordinary peasant. At the beginning, he is captured by the Yin Shi Sect for a "fusion with monsters" experiment. After the fusion fails, he is rescued by the city lord's mansion, with only three months to live.

    Wow, this book is absolutely amazing! In Tomato Novels' repertoire, it's unparalleled. The protagonist using coffin-making as a skill—that's a brilliant idea, I give it full marks, it's unprecedented! The character development is also top-notch, especially Meng Shusheng, whose vivid portrayal is like he stepped right out of the book. The plot flows like silky chocolate, the content is so rich it's dazzling. I've always preferred stories without a female lead, but Yu Chan here is just too charming, making you want to look at her more and more. Although the protagonist's "heroic rescue" and accepting the token were a bit confusing at first, I later learned it was for later plot development, so it makes sense. Overall, this book, in both detail and overall quality, is a masterpiece among masterpieces. While I wouldn't say it's flawless, it's definitely a first-rate reading experience!
