The disconnect is too strong. The protagonist's character and the plot feel jarringly separate. While the atmosphere and environmental descriptions are well-done in your fantasy/xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) genre, the plot is too disjointed. One second the protagonist is leisurely enjoying nature, the next he's a powerful, all-powerful killer, which feels incredibly abrupt.
Isn't the protagonist a bit too useless? He only focuses on physical cultivation and neglects his brain? How come he didn't even have a sudden inspiration when he reached the Golden Core stage of a True Immortal on Earth? He didn't even sense the activation of his prepared backup plan, and he became blind and deaf after a life-or-death struggle a hundred miles away when someone of the same realm…
"Trying to draw a tiger but ending up with a dog" is the best evaluation of this book.
The single word "pretentious" encapsulates the author's writing ability. This author has good writing skills, much better than those lowbrow, sycophantic novels on Qidian.com. Moreover, the author frequently quotes literary allusions to embellish the novel with literary flair. 😁 But he couldn't capture the true essence of a Taoist master.

The profile picture and the book cover have changed. Here's the original image.
The Taoist cultivators in the deep mountains depicted the kind of cultivation feeling I've always been pursuing. Although I stopped updating it for various reasons, it's still at the top of my bookshelf! I often check the updates, and today I saw that it had indeed come back to life! Looking forward to the talented author's new work. No doubt, I'm following the new book. Keep it up!
The beginning was alright, except for the somewhat forced scene in Baili County, which was barely readable. But what happened with the little girl? Her savior is dead, and this deity didn't have any backup plan or any premonition? The little girl was protected; couldn't they have just drawn a couple more talismans?
A Taoist master is not a domineering CEO.
From the scheming of those (jianghu ke, a term referring to people from martial arts worlds) to the fact that the master's dog has caused trouble, don't act like a dog is more valuable than a person, or that even a prime minister's dog is more powerful than a third-rank official. Did those's scheming really pose a significant threat to you? Did they intend to stab you in the back?
I've read up to chapter 74 so far. The first few chapters were quite good, but the later ones fell apart. When the Green and White Snakes first appeared, they said of the protagonist, "In the Green Hills and the three hundred miles of Qin Plain, demons and monsters cannot appear; all who see them bow their heads." What a great reputation! But what happened?
