   Reader note

   This new book is quite good. The content is relatively light-hearted and quite different from traditional cultivation novels. It's a comprehensive travelogue combining cultivation, feng shui, astrology, and the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The protagonist, Zhang Chaotian, has a fragmented soul from childhood. Starting from the Star Observatory, he and his companions gradually cultivate and improve their cultivation, uncovering the truth behind the last great calamity of heaven and earth. He uses the variables of the Dao of Cause and Effect to complete the laws of heaven and earth. Many details can only be appreciated on a second reading, including the ancient references to Mengji, Lilun, Tuofei, Tiangou, and Miemeng. There are no scheming girls, no female lead, and the protagonist is low-key, avoids trouble, and is intelligent. It's definitely worth reading!
