    Reader note

    My number one favorite book among Tomato's works: 1. Novel setting, the subject matter is unlike anything I've ever seen before. The cultivation path isn't like the traditional Nascent Soul stage, but rather involves cultivating one's natal character and natal scripture techniques. Accidents can occur during cultivation—such as corruption. Cultivating too many natal scripture techniques can lead to physical imbalance and death. There are scriptures like the Time Scripture, the Medicine Scripture, the Thief Scripture, and the Practice Scripture… the more natal scriptures one cultivates, the stronger one becomes. 2. Effective foreshadowing that leaves a lasting impression. The pacing is smooth; one foreshadowing spanned 1500 chapters, resolving a long-standing mystery. However, because of the frequent foreshadowing and the long intervals between chapters, some might think the author lacks writing skills and has flaws. But you'll understand as you read on. 3. A vast and rapidly changing world-building: the land of dragon breeding, the 72 Paths of Jiangnan, the 33 Heavens Beyond the Heavens, and the 3000-year-old Peach Blossom Spring. The protagonist's identity remains a mystery. You think he's a time traveler? Wrong! You think his escapes from danger are due to favorable timing and location? Wrong! 4. The biggest highlight of this book is its world-building and plot: three blood moons, the fall of two great cultivators; a 3000-year time reversal, numerous schemes under control; encounters with transmigrators from Earth in the future, and unpredictable mechanical technology. 5. Furthermore, the book frequently references poetic phrases such as "33 heavens beyond heavens, immortals beyond the nine clouds" and "the Jade Capital of Heaven with its twelve towers and five cities," giving it a very refreshing and ethereal feel.
