    The Chen family isn't the only one vying for immortality; my Lin family will also have a place! Immortality novels tend to be slow-paced at the beginning, but the journey into the cultivation world is incredibly exhilarating. Many immortality novels focus on the protagonist's solitary existence, rarely touching on parental bonds. I wanted to fill that gap, though my writing wasn't great; the beginning was a bit bland, but the later parts are absolutely thrilling! Those interested can check it out. It features immortality, a sacrifice system, traditional cultivation, a brand-new body-refining system, and the invincible path of survival.
