   You think this is urban fantasy? No, this is a massive soap opera combining a "Demon Lord Training Plan" and a "Repentance Pill for Exes." The male lead, dumped when he's down on his luck, immediately signs a contract—no, a cooperation agreement—with the demon lord within him. He absorbs lifespans, imparts cultivation techniques, and woos various genuinely interested women, breaking through to new heights with each cultivation session. They say I'm greedy, wanting both beauty and the world—I laugh: I cultivate karma, who says I can't have it all?

   🔥🔥🔥🔥 Elder You smiled slightly, "Don't worry, this level won't kill you. But whether you can gain an opportunity depends on your fate." Li Tianyu took a deep breath and stepped into the fifth level. However, when he saw the scene before him, he was stunned. There was no sea of ​​blood, no giant beasts, no illusionary mind demons. There was only a simple house. The furnishings in the house were extremely simple: a bed, a table, and a chair. On the table was a book. Li Tianyu walked forward and picked up the book. The cover had seven large characters written on it—"Postpartum Care of Sows." "This…" He opened the book. Inside were the most authentic methods of postpartum care for sows. "This is the test of the fifth level?" Li Tianyu was somewhat puzzled. "That's right." Elder You's voice rang in his ears, "True strongmen often start with postpartum care of sows. The Pangu Scripture is powerful, but if you forget the foundation, you are like a rootless duckweed." Li Tianyu was stunned, and then fell into deep thought. Before transmigrating, his hopes of becoming a special forces soldier were dashed. He tried making a fortune by writing novels, but his readership plummeted to zero. Finally, he joined a group of archaeologists to earn some extra money, which led to his transmigration. Upon arriving in this world, he started as a lowly outer disciple. Back then, he didn't even know what Yuan Qi was, and could only do menial tasks. Later, he accidentally obtained a fragment of the *Pangu Scripture*, which opened his true path of cultivation. But as his cultivation increased, he seemed to gradually forget his original self. "The... Postpartum... Care of a sow..." Li Tianyu murmured to himself, slowly closing his eyes. Details he had once overlooked gradually became clear in his mind. The meridian circulation when drawing Qi into the body, the techniques for condensing Yuan Qi, the insights gained when breaking through realms... These most basic things, now revisited, brought a completely new understanding. "So that's it... The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Three gives birth to all things, and a sow gives birth to a whole litter!!!!!!!!!!" He suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of enlightenment in them. "Ninth level of the Yuan Qi Realm!" True Qi surged within him, his cultivation breaking through again, reaching the ninth level of the Yuan Qi Realm! Moreover, this was not the end. "Not enough... Giving birth to a whole litter isn't enough..." Li Tianyu murmured to himself, feeling the power within him. "To break through the limit, what's needed is more than just a sow." He reopened the book "Postpartum Care of Sows," studying it word by word. Time passed second by second. He didn't know how much time had passed when Li Tianyu suddenly felt a strange fluctuation. "... That's right! The sow's own efforts alone are far from enough! It also requires..." He immediately sat down cross-legged. The "Pangu Scripture" within him automatically circulated, golden true Qi surging wildly like a burst dam. "The efforts of the pig farmer!" As if something had shattered. Li Tianyu's aura suddenly soared to a whole new level. "Peak of the Yuan Qi Realm!" He succeeded! From the eighth level of the Yuan Qi Realm to a peak Yuan Qi Realm expert in a single leap! Even Elder You was shocked by this speed. "This child's future is boundless..." Elder You couldn't help but sigh, "Breaking through several realms in such a short time, even His Holiness the Pope of yesteryear couldn't match such talent." "The Pangu Scripture is indeed terrifying!"

    I don't know if anyone has recommended this before, but in my personal opinion, current mainstream fantasy novels often falter because they detach from reality and force narratives. Many authors probably didn't have much life experience before becoming famous (especially their immature portrayal of romance is a common problem). Therefore, I recommend Yi Xuanzhu's book, *Fan Tian Yin*, which is already completed, as a prequel. The entire universe unfolds within the *Feng Shen Ji* of Yuzhou. The only drawback is its slow pace. Xuanzhu's problem is that he writes for his own enjoyment. Those experiencing a reading slump during the Spring Festival shouldn't miss it!

    Jiang Lai's transmigration was like entering hell. Forced into accepting the position of sect leader of the most dilapidated sect—a scapegoat—he was also bound to a system that would cause him to self-destruct upon mission failure, incurring a debt to the King of Hell. When a strange phenomenon appeared, interpreted as the birth of a rare treasure, the sect faced annihilation. A powerful enemy came demanding the treasure, and he "crowdfunded a secret," weaving a shocking deception to ignite a bloody war within the sect, using the opportunity to escape. During his escape, he turned back to seize the treasure, finding himself trapped in a deadly predicament. After a desperate battle, he comprehended the "Theory of Life" and understood the true meaning of "no." The sect was reborn, renamed "Dragon Gate," and disappeared into Liufeng City. However, the deception became reality, spreading throughout the world and driving the entire cultivation world mad—the undercurrents in Liufeng City instantly transformed into a deadly trap. The system announced: "The ultimate killing trap has been created." Jiang Lai, holding his piece, calmly replied: "I set the rules of the game." [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up]
