Cultivation: Starting with Insight into the Secrets of Heaven

This setting is a bit ridiculous. He got a cheat code and memories of his past life at the age of six, but at the age of sixteen he was still only at the second level of Qi Refining and had no resources at all. Unless you have the kind of stupid thinking that "I have a cheat code so I don't need it, I'm just playing around", I can't think of why he would be so bad.

This is the first time I've heard of the term "demoted to a collateral relative."

No, you're already a useless person with four spiritual roots, why not try for five? At least you could have the idea of ​​having all five elements and experiencing their rotation.

The protagonist lacks any initiative, which indirectly reveals that the cheat system isn't actually that great.

The protagonist seems like a cloying character, with a lot of tired tropes. He transmigrated to the cultivation world at the age of 6 and doesn't seem to have any ambitions. At 19, he's only at the third level of Qi Refining, and he's like a toad, only moving when poked (passively being pushed forward). The cheat system is also abstract, with all sorts of useless information and glitches.

I just finished reading the first chapter, and I'm speechless at how useless this protagonist is. Forget about any cheat codes, he's a direct descendant of a small family, only at the second level of Qi Refining. How are those rogue cultivators supposed to survive?

The protagonist is at the seventh level of Qi Refining, a mid-grade first-tier alchemist. He succeeded in refining boiled eggs on his first try, producing three eggs at once.

If intelligence tells the protagonist that their family might face trouble, the protagonist will immediately write a letter to their family, clearly indicating that they have had a fortuitous encounter. Leaving aside the question of whether sending a letter is a safe method... Look at how much the protagonist cares about his family, right?

After reading two chapters, the family relationships seem like something out of a comedy sketch, and everyone seems so nonchalant about it. This isn't a small matter, yet the protagonist acts like an outsider, constantly making jokes and references—it's unbelievable!

Has cultivating immortality made everyone stupid? If you hide and flee to a distant place during the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and then you let your family members kill you, and then you assassinate the Xiong family during the Qi Refining stage, would they dare to kill you if they couldn't find you?
