I Have a Soul-Seizing Banner

These days, let's stop with the idea that all righteous paths are bad and all evil paths are good. In the righteous path, bad people are only a minority, while in the evil path, the vast majority are bad.

What's there to defend about heretical cultivators? Don't say the righteous path is all sanctimonious; even the worst righteous path is still better than heretical cultivators. Those heretical cultivators haven't done anything good.

To be fair, while some parts of the book are still a bit confusing, the book's analysis of the relationships between the various factions and the psychology of people is incredibly detailed. For example, the section on the Outer Heavens (it was a real brainstorming session! Lol). Readers who enjoy strategy books should definitely check it out.

There was nothing there, and the actions didn't seem to come from a mountain of corpses or a sea of ​​blood. After watching for twenty hours, all they did was heal, and they hadn't even found any materials. It was tedious, and the name of the spell sounded very old-fashioned. Overall, it was hard to describe; not bad, but not great either.

I think it must have been incredibly difficult for the author to write this book. I've been reading it for almost a year now, and it's truly been a challenging journey. After all, the genre is quite niche, and it's probably the author's first time writing a book. Some details in the beginning weren't handled well, which resulted in a smaller readership.

Upon arriving in the Western Regions, the protagonist rarely engages in direct combat; he relies mostly on others or intrigue. Although he quietly amasses great wealth, it feels like everyone else is strengthening while he remains stagnant—his skills haven't improved, his trump cards haven't increased, and his level hasn't risen. It feels like he's been busy doing nothing.

The beginning was great, but it got a bit boring around chapter 200, with the monks of Leiyin Temple fighting. I barely managed to read a few dozen chapters before giving up...

The book has now been updated to chapter 288, and the overall world-building has begun to unfold, becoming increasingly exciting. To facilitate reading for readers, this post summarizes the current maps, factions, and other information for this book. Updates will be made periodically as the story progresses. I. The world of this book is currently divided into three main interfaces:

I have a question: why does this heretical cultivator act as if he's standing on a moral high ground, condemning those upright people? Given the backdrop of years of peace and prosperity, heretical practitioners should be universally condemned. But if you, the protagonist, are evil, you have to admit that you are evil.

The reason why those evil cultivators cannot act with impunity is because they are restrained by the righteous path; otherwise, what heinous things wouldn't they do?
