    I've been following this series for the past few days, catching up to the latest episode. How to put it? I really love the slow pace and the meticulous depiction of the story's gradual progression from the bottom up. Different realms offer different perspectives and plots, and each character is uniquely developed. Sometimes in the comments, people say certain characters are just copying the original characters, but the author's portrayal and character development are excellent. The plot is lighthearted, yet offers different kinds of excitement within its seemingly mundane aspects. The realms are gradually upgraded; everyone patiently cultivates their understanding over time, without sudden breakthroughs or the clichéd, mindless face-slapping tropes of overpowered protagonists. From the protagonist Jing Yu to the current Xuanjing Daoist Zhao Mingjing, from an ordinary person to the sixth prince and then slowly cultivating immortality, he is constantly growing. Although sometimes he becomes complacent and judges others based on a common perspective, he is gradually proven wrong and awakens to his true self. The most obvious example is his third sister—the Zhao Mingyu family: Zhao Mingyu, Zhao Yuanchen, and Zhao Yuanxi. Honestly, each of them was quite unexpected. The characters have flaws, but their individuality is incredibly strong, which is what I personally love most about this book. Every character is portrayed very vividly, or rather, very "human." [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up] There are many other well-written parts. I don't know whether to say I'm lucky or unlucky.

    Absolutely no killing beyond one's level. The first book is a slow-paced cultivation path, with extremely slow realm progression and slight pressure in the early stages. The second book is a lighthearted comedy about immortality through starry skies, also without instant kills beyond one's level. Both are good; the second one is a new book.
