   The first book is about a Taoist priest from Maoshan who comes to a strange world. Recommended rating: 5 stars. The second book is about a cheat-like character who, although not a Taoist priest, also cultivates martial arts! Recommended rating: 4 stars. The third book is about a cultivator with the cultivation level of a Great Emperor who comes to the world of supernatural tales to carry out a dimensional attack—basically, he's just here to have fun! Recommended rating: 3 stars (because it's an extremely overpowered and enjoyable story, the content might be a bit boring).
