I'm tired of reading new fantasy novels. I kind of miss the authentic tradition of the past. There can be cheats, but they are not a system. You can be reborn, but you can't travel through time. If there is no heroine or only one heroine, it is best if the protagonist works hard alone and succeeds in the end.

I found a book about cultivating immortals that has a great atmosphere. The opening chapter is directly on the bottom of the mine. The young man has been working as a slave in the mines all year round, and his life is depressing and difficult. He accidentally owns a black stone of unknown origin. Without the skills imparted by his grandfather, there is no great opportunity from heaven. The whole process relies on observation, tolerance, and deduction to survive. The strange things in the mine, the temptations of the sect monks, and the unspoken rules of survival among the mine slaves are all written very realistically, and the suspense slowly unfolds, getting higher and higher as the story goes on.

Reader note
It's rare to see a fairy tale that thoroughly writes about "the incompleteness of the Taoist heart". It's not a simple amnesia and rebirth routine. The protagonist originally knew all the magic in the world, but after the thunder tribulation, the nine successful methods sealed the sea of consciousness. Mortal meridians cannot withstand high-level magic, so he can only pick up mortal martial arts and reverse the ancient methods of the Hehuan Sect to fight against the enemy. The devil's palace is broken through in layers, with shadow demons, sound demons, and golden elixir demons advancing layer by layer. Each monster corresponds to the temptation of the five senses. The confrontation process is not perfunctory, the logic is online, and there will be no forced intelligence.

A must see! "The Buried Heaven Realm", the pinnacle legend of the fantasy world. Dear friends, today I would like to highly recommend a fantasy masterpiece - "The Burial Heaven Realm". With its majestic world view, exciting plot and vivid three-dimensional characters, it builds a fantasy universe that makes people immersed in it and cannot extricate themselves. It is definitely a feast for fans of fantasy novels! Unique Charming Characters Protagonist Ling Feng Ling Feng is an ordinary young man from an ordinary family, but he is born with a stubbornness that refuses to admit defeat. He has a strong body, and his eyes show perseverance and agility. Due to his family's humble status, he was scorned and bullied since he was a child. However, these setbacks did not knock him down, but instead planted a seed of desire for strength in his heart. Ling Feng has a calm and brave personality and never flinches in the face of difficulties. In terms of cultivation, he has shown amazing talent and perseverance. He can master the techniques that others take months to master in a very short time. He is good at thinking, and when facing a powerful enemy, he can always calmly analyze the opponent's weaknesses and win by surprise. As the story progresses, Ling Feng has gone through countless hardships and gradually grown from an unknown boy to a being that makes the entire fantasy world tremble. The mysterious woman Xueyao is like a fairy in the snow, cool and elegant. She has a face that will captivate the entire country, her skin is as good as snow, and her eyes are like deep pools, seemingly hiding endless secrets. Xueyao's origin is mysterious and seems to be inextricably linked to the Burial Heaven Realm. She is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and is cold and distant to others on the surface. However, after meeting Ling Feng, she is gradually moved by Ling Feng's bravery and persistence, showing a gentle and kind side. She is good at ice spells. When she casts them, the sky is filled with snow, the ice edges shine, and everything she passes by is frozen. The power is astonishing. Xueyao plays a vital role in Ling Feng's growth. She is not only his confidante but also his fighting partner. Wonderful plot: At the beginning of the story, Ling Feng's family is facing annihilation because of offending a powerful force. At this time of life and death, Ling Feng accidentally obtained a mysterious skill, which started his counterattack. With his tenacious perseverance and extraordinary talent, he made rapid progress on the road of cultivation and gradually became prominent in the family. As Ling Feng's strength increases, he discovers that the world hides many unknown secrets, and all clues seem to point to the legendary Burial Heaven Realm. It is said that the Burial Heaven Realm contains endless treasures and powerful techniques, but it is also full of fatal dangers. In order to explore the truth and avenge his family, Ling Feng resolutely embarked on a journey to the Burial Heaven Realm. On the way to the Burial Heaven Realm, Ling Feng met like-minded partners such as Xue Yao. Together they have gone through countless hardships and obstacles, and have encountered various powerful monsters and forces with evil intentions. In a confrontation with an evil organization, Xueyao was seriously injured in order to save Ling Feng. This made Ling Feng blame himself and strengthened his determination to become stronger. Finally, they arrived at the Burial Heaven Realm. In the Burial Heaven Realm, the space is distorted and mysterious, with various strange sights and powerful restrictions emerging one after another. Ling Feng and others carefully explored it, constantly solving mysteries one after another. However, just when they were about to find the key treasure, they encountered the ancient beast guarding the Burial Heaven Realm. The power of the divine beast was terrifying, and for a while, everyone was in a desperate situation. Relying on his deep friendship for his partners and his persistent pursuit of the truth, Ling Feng burst out with unprecedented power and launched a thrilling battle with the mythical beast. In the end, Ling Feng successfully defeated the divine beast and obtained the peerless skills in the Heaven Burial Realm. But the story didn't end there. News that Ling Feng had obtained the technique spread like wildfire, attracting covetous attention from all forces. Ling Feng and his partners are once again caught in a crisis. Can they protect their gains and uncover the shocking secrets in this ever-changing fantasy world? "The Burial Realm" is a fantasy novel with ups and downs of plot, full of blood and passion. From the rise of an ordinary boy to the exploration of a mysterious and unknown world, every plot tightly captures the readers' hearts.
