   The first book, *Bai Xi Zhou Shi*, was about gradual growth, which I followed closely and found interesting. The second book, *Wu Xing Dao Zu*, initially focused on the pursuit of immortality, but later became all about grand scenes and spectacle, which became rather dull. It was basically just about the ancient Xinjiang region expanding and enlarging its scale. The third book, in my opinion, was the most interesting. It not only had a well-developed outline with various plot points but also a vast world-building with plenty of room for further development. However, the author would only update one chapter at a time. The third book felt like a wish-fulfillment novel, a family ensemble story where few family members died, and all the sons were immortal. The World Honored One was quite interesting, but the later chapters went a bit overboard; I haven't read more than 200 chapters since.

He is the ultimate initial saint, possessing great personal charisma. I've read many demonic cultivation novels, but none are as good as this one.
