   These two books are okay, Mortal Style style, focus on cultivation, be cautious, but the development in the first fifty chapters is slow, but the later chapters are very exciting.

   This book is what I have been following recently. The protagonist does not have spiritual root qualifications. The pace may be a little slow in the early stage. Because he does not have spiritual roots, he will have some entanglements with the world in the early stage. But the world view is well laid out and the plot is well connected...
