Hidden Abyss Record

After reading the introduction to "Yin Yuan Lu", I was quite touched. It is not the kind of novel that talks about the grand world of immortality from the beginning, but starts from the fate of an ordinary person, Jiang Yin. A mortal who was forced to fall into the devil's path and was used as a pawn, but still wanted to hold on to a little light in the darkness. This setting makes me feel both sad and angry. The sentence "Light and darkness are inherently dependent on each other" is really well written, and it also highlights the flavor of the entire book. Jiang Yin bears the devil's seal, but he practices righteous techniques. He is not perfect, but he has his own persistence. Many novels about cultivating immortals are about the protagonist becoming stronger step by step, but "Yin Yuan Lu" is more like telling about a person who is trying not to lose himself amidst constant loss and struggle. I like this kind of gray story. It has no black-and-white characters and no sense of a win-or-lose ending. It's just an ordinary person living, choosing, and fighting in troubled times. Such stories are more real and more relatable. If you also like novels that not only have the background of cultivating immortals, but also describe the human heart and human nature, "Yin Yuan Lu" may surprise you. It doesn't show off skills, but it can make people calm down and read chapter after chapter, with a little bitterness and hope in their hearts.

"This new work can be called a return to the classical immortal cultivation style. The author outlines the grand world of cultivation with exquisite brushwork, and the cultivation system is rigorous and self-consistent; the characterization is delicate and nuanced, and the plot is ups and downs. The long-lost pure immortal charm, a ten-year-old bookworm misses this feeling so much"
