   Ye Xiaodao's masterpiece—you've probably been captivated by all those dubious comics circulating on Douyin. This is it! Nine resounding cries, the divine child rises, and from then on, a legend of the great swordsman begins. The writing style is extremely hilarious; the early parts almost killed me with laughter. The protagonist, Xiao Yun, has a powerful name, right? (I quite like it 😳). He's exceptionally talented in comedy, the biggest comedian in the story and Xiao Tiandi's top general, Zhao Wuji; the protagonist's love-hate relationship with Emperor Li Cheng, which is hard to accept; the treacherous villain Gu Tianyi, a double agent; the final boss who steals the protagonist's base, Master Tianyi; and the various mischievous Holy Land Ancestors—oh my god, all of this is so irresistible! 😳
