The Way of the Imperial Path

Of all the books on chess, the one that impressed me the most is "The Peerless Master".

Can anyone tell me if Guanqi has stopped writing? I can't find any new books.

Worldly Falsehood I shut myself in, too lazy to go out, and public opinion is discordant. I stroll the streets with a cane, my discerning eyes disgusted by the aimless wandering. Those in the community criticize my faults, those who sever ties are angry at my deceitful words. It's difficult to be a decent person; every action invites slander.

Secluded dwelling Living in seclusion, I find contentment in the wild; worldly affairs are of no concern to me. Friends have come and gone, like children weighing each other on a scale. Even those sharing a wall are enemies, and years pass without a second thought. The world is colder than ice, and human relationships as bland as water. I mend my tattered clothes, forgetting the sweetness of fine food. Free from all worries, I am content with my lot.

I consider Guanqi a top-tier writer; I've read every single one of his books, and they're all excellent. I suggest those who haven't finished them not to criticize him. Compared to today's fast-paced online novels and system-based stories, his is very good and unique. I've read them many times and still learn a lot.

I'm abandoning this book. The protagonist is portrayed as an idiot, it's ridiculous. It's a good thing he was a person who lived to a ripe old age and reached the Innate Realm in his previous life, yet he still doesn't know the saying "Don't flaunt your wealth, play dumb to outsmart others"? He thought he had some trump cards when he left home at age six, but he turned out to have nothing. I'm abandoning this book.

I absolutely hate overly pretentious displays of knowledge! They practically lower your IQ. Ignoring the context just to show off is disgusting...

I can't believe this book is still here! I read it ten years ago when I was still in school. It's the only cultivation novel I've ever finished. It's really well-written, much better than those other crappy "primordial era" novels.

Guan Qi has left! I just rewatched "The Immortal" and can't find it... Sigh. The main male character in "The Immortal," Nie Fanchen, Ji Gong Nie, loves the country but loves the beauty even more, the Great Zhou Dynasty, King You of Zhou.

Jushan Since I formed a deep connection with the clouds and mountains, I have been captivated by their beauty and have never touched money. Idly playing on the rocks by the stream, I neither ask about worldly affairs nor seek immortality.
