    I highly recommend this masterpiece! It's about cultivating immortality, and it's incredibly awesome. Read the first dozen or so chapters; it's absolutely enriching. If you don't like it, come back and criticize me—it's truly amazing! It will help you rediscover yourself and bravely live the life you want. After reading this, I felt like I was on a roll. I believe you'll gain something from it too. I gained courage to face life and myself directly, and my spirits instantly lifted. I'm less conflicted and much more carefree, haha! It will shatter all your previous perceptions. Things you thought were good or right before will be completely overturned after reading this. I'm not just self-promoting; this book truly contains something, so much so that it's so real it feels suppressed. The author was forced to weave the truth within the fiction to ensure readers have an awakening after reading it, so you can see and understand what true cultivation is, and then living life with a cultivation mindset is like playing a game, leading to a carefree life. ❛˓◞˂̵✧

    [First Book :-)] The protagonist is introduced through the lens of the Demonic Sect. Initially weak in cultivation, he patiently endures, not to be easily bullied. After the Demonic Sect splits, the protagonist establishes his own power, showcasing his strength, seizing territory, and gradually conquering the remaining fragments. He schemes against his senior brothers and uncles; if lucky, they fall into the Ghost Path; if not, their souls are scattered. A story of cunning survival, never discontinued [Note]. [Second Book :-)] This is one of my favorites, a system + survival story. It starts slowly but improves significantly. The protagonist's hidden strength can be seen from Chapter 5. The two instances of lifespan reduction (lower intelligence) at the beginning are recommended to be skipped as they don't affect the plot. The rest is all about winning. The protagonist judges danger and opportunity based on the system's rewards, always demonstrating high intelligence. There is no female lead. All characters encountered are merely passersby; only the protagonist reaches the end. A good read for seasoned readers who enjoy survival stories, definitely a gem when you're looking for something to read [Note].
