    This cultivation novel truly rekindled the purity and passion I felt when reading *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*. It lacks exaggerated plots, aggressive leveling and monster-slaying, and harem-style romantic entanglements. Instead, it delves into the moral principles often overlooked in other cultivation novels—principles that are often the most simple and unadorned, yet frequently neglected. Cultivation is about authenticity, and this novel captures that essence perfectly. Its structure is rigorous, the plot has few plot holes, the scope is grand enough, and the scenes are well-arranged, making it a top-tier cultivation novel. The only minor flaw might be the male protagonist's somewhat obtuseness in matters of the heart. Friendship, family, and master-disciple relationships are all portrayed exceptionally well, but the romantic subplot feels somewhat weak. Since the protagonist doesn't pursue the Dao, he is a person of deep feeling and loyalty. A cultivation life without love always seems to lack something. Hopefully, in future chapters, this somewhat dense protagonist will open his heart, experience the sweetness of love, marry and have children normally, enjoy the pleasures of the mortal world, and ultimately achieve his own path to immortality. Such a life of cultivating immortality is more fulfilling and realistic.

    I hope all my godparents will take a look at this book. Aside from the first chapter being a bit long and rambling for setup, the rest is truly amazing. After reading the second chapter, feel free to criticize me if you don't like it. This book is entirely handwritten; I've poured a tremendous amount of effort into it. I know hard work doesn't guarantee success, and relying on sympathy won't get you anywhere. I just want to give my work a chance. The following is an excerpt from the novel. If you like it, feel free to read it. I thank all my godparents here, and I salute you all. Content: As Li Siyue revealed herself, countless vengeful spirits shrouded in thick black energy surged forth from the ground like a tidal wave. Their faces were ferocious and terrifying. Some gripped Li Siyue's ankles and bit them, while others opened their fanged maws and lunged at her body. Terrifying screams echoed from all directions, reverberating throughout the entire cave. Li Siyue's eyes sharpened, and she instantly activated the Cold Moon Technique. In an instant, the cold moonlight surged from her body. The ghosts that had lunged at her before they could even touch her clothes were instantly frozen by the extreme cold contained within the moonlight, turning into crystal-clear ice sculptures suspended in the air. Li Siyue lightly touched the ground with her toes, and a visible ripple of moonlight spread out from her. The ghosts that had entangled her ankles didn't even have time to scream before shattering like glass within the ripples, dissipating into countless ice crystals. She leaped into the air, her spiritual power intertwining with the power of the cold moonlight, condensing into thousands of moon-colored flying swords around her. The swords spun wildly around her, emitting sharp whistling sounds. As the sword energy crisscrossed, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a thick layer of frost instantly formed on the stone walls. Li Siyue lightly raised her jade-like hand and pointed towards the thousands of ice-sculpted ghosts suspended in mid-air. "Go!" A thousand flying swords shot out simultaneously, like a reversed silver meteor shower, each sword precisely piercing through an ice sculpture. The vengeful spirits of the ghosts were as fragile as paper before the moonlight flying swords. The moment they were pierced, the ice layer, along with the ghosts within, shattered into countless ice shards. The black energy was purified by the moonlight, emitting a hissing sound. Thousands of ghost soldiers were completely annihilated in a single breath. Then, even denser black energy surged forth from the cracks in the walls, from the corpses of cultivators, from the stone walls, and from the torches. Countless vengeful spirits surged out from all directions like a tidal wave, densely packed, filling the entire cave.
