    I've been reading this for the past few days. The protagonist, Gou Daoren, improves his spiritual root and builds his spiritual body with the help of a cheat-like ability. This book doesn't have the traditional leveling-up, monster-slaying, or cave adventures; the protagonist is always cautious, even when he leaves the mountain, he's disguised, and then he sweeps through everything in his path. The book's weakness is that it's too bland. Most chapters describe cultivation levels, spiritual bodies, and domains, lacking dramatic twists and turns to keep the reader engaged, making it difficult to keep reading. Ultimately, it might be worth a read for those tired of traditional fantasy.
