The Road to Immortality

Those who have read "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" strongly advise against reading this book, as its framework is almost identical to that of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," but its overall design is far inferior, and its details are not as detailed. Having only read up to the Spirit Realm, my understanding is inevitably somewhat biased and incomplete.

I watched it before; the plot and map were similar to "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality," except that at the end, he took two female ghost sisters into his sea of ​​consciousness and showed them his cheat ability. The younger sister was mischievous 😜 sticking out her tongue, while the older sister was composed... I gave up after that. What protagonist would show their cheat ability to others, let alone take in two female ghost sisters as his constant comedians?

Having read cultivation novels for ten years, I've only ever seen Foundation Establishment Pills being hard to come by; this is the first time I've read that Qi Refining pills are unavailable for purchase.

Don't read those trashy novels! They call themselves "comparable to mortals"—they're utterly worthless. Chapter fourteen features a woman being chased who ends up with the male lead. The author uses some kind of cheat code to defeat her opponent, but when it comes to dividing the loot, the woman gets the lion's share, and the male lead is smugly pleased with himself.

The beginning was too sleazy, the middle and later parts were well-written, but the ending was utterly absurd. The protagonist ultimately overthrew the Heavenly Court, reaching the highest level of cultivation. Then he discovered that the Heavenly Court he overthrew was actually doing the right thing, and unable to figure out a solution to the problem, he ended up committing suicide with his wife. That was just too awkward.

Both "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" and "Seeking Immortality" are good books, but the feeling I had after reading "Seeking Immortality" was something I didn't experience with "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality." The characters the author created are so pure, the writing style is so comfortable, and the protagonist's choice at the end elevates the book's depth and complexity dramatically.

As I suspected, the author only got halfway through the story of Liu Yingying being proposed to, and then abruptly cut to the protagonist starting his secluded cultivation in the second chapter, completely ignoring the marriage proposal. Five years later, I thought, following this pattern, the next time we meet, Liu Yingying will probably be married. And sure enough, she's a beautiful woman.

I think "The Legend of Immortal Flame" is alright, but the protagonist seems to have some bad luck with fortuitous encounters...

I couldn't finish reading three chapters of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," this one is much more exciting! 🤓

Seeing the protagonist reach Foundation Establishment, I have to ask, what kind of sect is this? They kill people right there in the sect! He was ambushed within the sect before even reaching Foundation Establishment, and then ambushed again in the Hundred Refinement Hall right after.
