A Record of a Mortal: I Am a Heaven-Grade Spiritual Root

I think the plot point about having a Heavenly Spiritual Root participate in the Ascension Ceremony, compete in the arena, and join a sect is excellent. It shows that the author carefully read the original work and thought about it. Why? Because the sect is filled with disciples from cultivation families. (The original text is posted below.)

A Heavenly Spiritual Root allows direct cultivation to the Core Formation stage! There are no bottlenecks. Foundation Establishment Pills are not needed!

Without saying anything, you must keep the Nangong bowl.

The original work isn't perfect, and you can't follow every setting exactly as it appears. For example, the Ascension Ceremony—fighting first and then testing—is clearly illogical, which is why the anime changed it. Not all rogue cultivators are useless; there are talented individuals among them. What's the point of fighting first and crippling someone? Combat power doesn't equal aptitude.

Let's be less tearful and put it more tactfully: This is a modern urban campus novel.

The protagonist is being excessively kind to Han Li. Why not write the protagonist as a woman? It would be more reasonable for her to simply marry Han Li.

Actually, I'd prefer to find a fanfiction about someone who's the opposite of Han Laomo, a story about their battles from the human world all the way to the spirit and immortal realms, where both are evenly matched and neither can gain the upper hand, or they end up severely injured.

Here's a question: Now that the protagonist has partnered with Er Lengzi, will Er Lengzi still be considered a scapegoat by the sect? Will Er Lengzi still go to the Chaotic Star Sea? If Er Lengzi does go to the Chaotic Star Sea, will the protagonist go with him?

Is it a harem? I won't go in and look at the harem.

The story says they'll go to the Luoyun Sect to get the Clear Eye Elixir after the treasure hunt, but they're already at Kunwu Mountain and still haven't gotten it. Did the author forget? 🤔
