Spiritual energy is like insects, absorbed into the bodies of cultivators and controlled by the Heavenly Dao. This book is filled with terrifying cannibalistic elements; those with low cultivation are simply food in the eyes of higher-level cultivators. (It's quite novel; I haven't read anything like this before where people are instantly refined after being grabbed.) Jiang Chu's path to survival is fraught with challenges and dangers. He not only faces external threats but also overcomes his inner fears and struggles, constantly using his intelligence to maximize his own interests. He leaps through swords countless times, narrowly escaping death only to be blessed with incredible luck and cling to powerful figures. This extreme will to survive is deeply relatable, and his every growth and breakthrough is exhilarating. (The Foundation Establishment stage senior sister, Qingyu, whom I was incredibly afraid of in the early stages, seemed even harder to kill than the Nascent Soul elder who later transformed into an ancestor.)

    Save as many as you can. There was once a cosmic secret passed down from heaven right in front of you, but you didn't cherish it. You only regretted it after you lost it. If heaven gives you another chance, you must patiently and meticulously read it ten times. Every chapter is a cosmic secret, and every word and sentence must be carefully considered, lest you miss any heavenly secrets.
