After finishing A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, other cultivation novels feel a bit too contrived. It's easy to guess where the plot is going: the protagonist meets a powerful foe and either 1) hides his true abilities, 2) turns the tables just before dying, 3) lets his enemies fight each other and then swoops in to reap the rewards, or 4) gets taken on as a disciple by some old man.

Highly recommended! "Void Tower" continues the essence of the "mortal cultivation" genre from "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," using the Three Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda as its core cheat, constructing a cultivation system of "space farming + resource competition." The protagonist, Lu Li, rises from a medicine slave, accelerating the cultivation of spiritual herbs and taming immortal beasts within the tower, using his wisdom to overcome sect rivalries and battles in secret realms. The multi-dimensional time flow differences and the tower-within-a-tower structure conceal hidden opportunities, perfectly replicating Han Li's style of low-key development and desperate comebacks. Suitable for those who prefer hardcore cultivation and long-term strategic planning.
