The Candlelit Journey

The author has the most impressive knowledge of Buddhism that I've ever read on Qidian. But the knife's strength lies not in its sharpness, but in its concealment. There's no need to throw it all out at once; it's a long string of Buddhist terminology, including Sanskrit transliterations. Use technical terms to annotate the names of the techniques, then explain them, and that's it.

The esoteric Buddhist concept of "immeasurable consciousness" that the protagonist borrows for his method is too niche. While it's acceptable to classify it as a heterodox practice along with the Seven Treasures Mantra, it's inappropriate for the protagonist, who aims to attain orthodox Pratyekabuddhahood, to use it as the ultimate goal of his practice.

Has the author betrayed the path of immortality and joined the bald man's sect? ⊙ω⊙

This is probably what it looks like.

Honestly, the first few chapters were truly amazing. The later chapters were full of classic Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) elements, and the background was excellent—a small world born from the shattering of a larger world. The background itself included familiar characters like the Black Mountain Demon and Fahai, which was quite impressive.

I'm speechless. Guangji is such a great protagonist, and you didn't write him well. You started with two main characters, and then you gave Guangji so little screen time. Did you think Ding, the main character, was so appealing? I came here specifically for Guangji, and you gave me a Ding instead.

Guangji was written so well that readers stopped accepting the character of the true protagonist, Ding Qing.

Carrying a Buddhist lamp, he is compassionate and empathetic, and harbors the ideals of saving, governing, and awakening the world. The year of Jiazi is uncertain, and a thousand demons roam freely under the bright sun. Heaven decreed that this book be written, and the disciples devoutly supported the Way. The Buddha's lamp shines brightly, offering a glimmer of hope to save the people in their final days.

I commented on a book featuring a monk as the main character that many authors nowadays don't consult classical texts and can't write about the six senses in a state of purity, and I got criticized by quite a few people. It made me so angry! — Just venting, please don't take offense. The author writes very well, keep it up!

Very good. The author has a deep understanding of Buddhism and Taoism, and has good writing skills. In the world of Immortal Gourd and most other worlds, cultivating Buddhism is actually for the purpose of seeking immortality. That's hilarious.
