Why can't emperors cultivate immortality? It's simple, just imagine that emperors could. If an emperor wanted to cultivate immortality, would he need to meditate, cultivate, learn magic, or absorb elixirs? If the country were to remain closed off for a hundred years, who would govern it?
Yang Pei-er (Yang Fei) Qianfuluoli (Lifei) Hu Yuelian (Consort Lian) Zhuge Xuanyi
Why doesn't the protagonist just want to kill whichever minister he wants to reward with elixir?
Is the luck-based system really that outdated now? Have you guys never seen any other systems besides cultivation? The imperial dynasty luck system should be quite famous, right? In this kind of fantasy world, imperial dynasties don't count as cultivation puppets. They're roughly divided into three types. In the family-based cultivation system, the royal family is the strongest cultivation family.
Emperors simply cannot cultivate immortality. If you were to go into seclusion even once, the empire would have already changed hands! Furthermore, you couldn't possibly cultivate in peace. Therefore, those who desire and are capable of cultivating immortality cannot become emperors; once they become emperors, they cannot achieve success in cultivating immortality.
I saw about 20 chapters, and the writing was alright, but the problem is that you tagged it as a fantasy/cultivation story, but apart from a few mentions of a cheat system at the beginning, the remaining twenty-odd chapters were all palace intrigue. Slow-burn doesn't have to be this slow!
Since everyone's cultivating immortality, and you have the highest cultivation level, why bother with all these schemes and tricks? Just sweep through like a whirlwind! It's so boring to watch.
The only thing that's hard to accept is that Jiaya Immortal Kingdom. The name includes "immortal" in it, but it's not ethereal at all; it feels like a name that was just thrown together randomly.
The beginning was quite good, but around chapter 100, they started throwing in those disgusting scenes. They should have dealt with the Yang family's problems immediately, but instead, Consort Yang kept pleading and offering various chances for them to repent. What kind of story are you writing?
Aside from not liking the Qi cultivation, root cultivation, and elixir system, the rest is pretty good. There's suspense, power struggles, and fighting (though not much), which meets my reading requirements. I can just keep writing at this pace! There are some suggestions, though.
