As the tides of spiritual energy shift, spirit beasts regress and spirit insects run rampant. The cultivation world enters a new cycle.
Cultivators pursue the Dao through insects, cultivating without cultivating the heart. Human nature and insect nature intertwine in a fierce struggle over the Dao.
The major cultivation factions each have their own distinctive styles, flourishing in a spectacular burst and painting a dazzling, bizarre world.
As the cultivation world expands rapidly and undergoes violent change, it harbors an even stranger feature: wilderness lies beyond, and the Underworld below!
The Underworld’s mysteries:
First, it can only slowly take shape beneath a land already well suited to cultivation.
Second, the Underworld is connected to the ancient Great Kun, which in turn is connected to the legacy of the Insect Dao.
Third, entering or leaving the Underworld requires a travel pass. The pass resembles folded paper and reveals a pitch-black portal covered in frost. The portal opens a crack, through which an insect leg or human hand reaches out to beckon.
And so the story begins:
At the edge of the wilderness lies a region that is becoming fertile ground for cultivation, with the Underworld close to forming.
A cultivation sect in this region is called the Flying Cockroach Sect. It has two peaks, Flying Cockroach Peak and Ant-Gathering Peak. Flying Cockroach Peak is divided among four families, He, Zhao, Chen, and Niu, each controlling a share of power.
The Flying Cockroach Sect has an errand disciple named Shi Shouye. His visualization spirit, a cicada, is unusual. Though timid by nature, he possesses limitless vitality. He comprehends one innate technique, the Golden Cicada’s Escape, along with three auxiliary techniques.
From the very beginning, he is swept into one dangerous vortex after another. In the end, fate’s twists make him the one who opens the gate to the Underworld, leading him down a different path of cultivation.

This person is too arrogant. In such a strict sect, how can the protagonist be so arrogant when he has no ability? Just because he's the protagonist, does that mean he can't be killed? He keeps provoking people who are stronger than him.
Whose alternate account is this author using? It feels a lot like "Eight Treasures Rice," where the protagonist is always a submissive character who enjoys being slandered and tarnishing his own reputation. Subordinates, friends, and enemies all disregard strength to slander and look down on the protagonist. I've only ever seen this kind of phenomenon in female-oriented online novels...
It's well-written, much better than those other sect leaders' tacked-on additions. Things like "Immortal Abode X Beast," "Hun Yuan X Sect," and "Chong Ming X Sect" are all tasteless. Keep writing, and I'll subscribe when it's available for purchase.
The novel, which depicts the myriad aspects of spiritual practice, does a good job of connecting various characters and events; it's quite interesting.
I'm tired of formulaic and predictable novels, but this one is a refreshing change. The characters are intelligent, well-structured, and have a varied yet logical plot. They're also not stereotypical. It's a shame it didn't become a niche story! Keep it up! Make sure you finish it!
The plot becomes somewhat boring after chapter 20. Usually at this point, the story either focuses on adventure and exploration or on a mundane, farming-like existence. The author tries both, but neither is explored in depth; they only scratch the surface. There's neither the thrill of adventure nor the enjoyment of farming, and it feels like the author is suppressing the protagonist.
It's alright, there aren't many of these kinds of articles, but it feels good.
The premise is alright; you can stop reading after chapter 23. I don't recommend reading beyond that.
The premise is interesting, but the characters aren't very likable. While Zhao Xuan was somewhat tolerable at first, her inclusion was truly baffling and felt forced. Combined with what I've seen so far, it's just mindless protagonist plot armor. This realization instantly detaches me from the story, making it impossible to continue watching.
A new book has been released, but there's been no word from anyone?
