The -
-The Master Teacher profession: Exams get completely skipped later on.
-Students: Early on the author baits you into thinking that his students will follow him, and that you will be able to see their growth together with the MC, yeah nope, they literally accept the offer of the first sect/guild that is interested on them just because they think they are a burden to their teacher or "need better resources", don't worry though, you'll see them again hundreds of chapters later with cultivations on par to the MC (or higher).
-The Master Teachers: pretty much every Master Teacher the MC encounters is a piece of sh*t young master tier who tries to take advantage of him, kill him or steal his sh*t (so much for the noblest profession).
-The "" (romance) "": Our MC gets showered with ""beauties"" (of course they're all interested on him, even his female students, who he claims they're the top X beauties in the continent, but he doesn't feel anything about them because "they're his students") so you have the author wasting chapters dropping new girls at the start of pretty much every arc while hinting that something might happen betweeen them and the MC (until he turns them down in the cringiest way possible while having an inner-monologue claiming that "they don't move him") over and over.. Until generic OP cold peerless beauty #57468 appears (don't forget that cold beauties are never interested on MCs) how does our 999 IQ MC react? He falls in love with her, and this is the point where the author completely breaks the MC's character, he suddenly becomes a brainlet who can't think by himself when in presence of her, or needs a double check from her in order to do something (even with the OP Library, not even joking) keeps asking random sh*t to her (and she gives accurate answers everytime because for whatever reason she knows everything, no exceptions) if he asks about her however (he doesn't even know her real name) she will reply with the cliche ("knowing about me is dangerous so stop") at this point I wouldn't be surprised and wouldn't care if she was confirmed to be a literal god with sealed cultivation.
I'm not a romance dude but it never bothered me to the point of dropping a novel, don't get me wrong cn novels having garbage romance for the sake of padding the chapter/word count is common, but breaking the MC's character in the process is not..
I guess the author got bored of the MC face slapping people and wanted to try face slapping the readers.
-
- Good closure and wrapping up of loose ends (although there are certainly several plot holes and flaws, but they aren't too glaring)
- Okay world building
- Although at each hurdle where the MC is teaching or correcting someone, he mentions a bunch of stuff completely new or irrelevant to the reader most of the time (i.e. Herbs or cultivation methods we obviously haven't heard of and never will again), but the explanations are still pretty well thought out and are quite logical. It is interesting to see the scenarios that the author has cooked up. Even though it's a bit of a deus ex machina, each situation is like a neat self contained puzzle that we get to see unraveled. Others may not like this, but I found it enjoyable, albeit repetitive.
Bad points:MC realizes he needs to accomplish something, so he goes to some guild or w/e. There will always be an event or competition occurring at that moment. Something contentious will happen so MC steps in. Everyone scorns him. He then wows everyone with his analysis of flaws and the person being analyzed will go: "How could he even know my secret cultivation technique?? Even my closest relatives don't know this!". MC solves everything and builds trust and gets what he wants. People who scorned him get slapped in the face, sometimes physically, but always mentally.
The MC meets a girl that he spends little to no time with, but becomes absolutely infatuated with her. Although a reason is given that since she also possesses a fragment of heaven, there will be an inexplicable sense of familiarity that draws them together, but the most they have ever done together is hold hands (with a quick peck on the cheek from the MC to her). They don't even hug each other until the last 5 chapters. Just feels far too shallow to understand how both promise there lives to each other early on and that they're ok with the Firmament being destroyed as long as they can die together.
I don't understand how the MC can easily grasp battle techniques and usage of his silver needles such that he is unbelievably precise and dextrous, yet he is incapable of actually forging pills or smithing. He obviously has all the requisite knowledge, yet what is it that makes him unable to swing a hammer or throw medicinal ingredients correctly? Probably one of my biggest frustrations
One related example towards the end that annoyed me was that almost no one knows the identity or gender of the Sky of Freedom's monarch, such that basically only Conferred Kings or Monarchs themselves know of it. And yet, when the MC goes to visit the Sky of Freedom, he pulls aside a random celestial and asks about where "God Monarch Lingxi lives", he responds saying "she" lives at so and so? The f*ck? Another situation was the identity of Little Chick. All the elements were there yet it was only towards the end that he starts to consider it.
-
- The characters and relationships often felt pretty shallow in this book. There are other books I've recently read where I actually feel something for the MC in certain bleak or tragic situations, but I felt nothing throughout the book. There were only two moments that stood out (that I actually bookmarked), which were:

- Probably 98% of the Chinese fantasy novels suffer from the lack of descriptions of the surroundings/environment, as well as people, and this book is no exception. It's understandable that at a certain scale, it gets hard to come up with some decent, unique descriptions for each place or person but there has to be some effort, I feel. For example, the MC once enters a folded space that's described as a "barren land". Wtf does that look like? Is it dead soil? Is it just black/grey rock? What does the sky look like? What does the air smell like? As a reader, I like to know these details to help paint a scene, and this book certainly leaves a lot to the reader's imagination.
Although there are many negatives, overall, I enjoyed the journey and the novelty of the cultivation system to some degree, even though there was a lot of repetitiveness and many elements lacking. It also felt a bit shallow, but I still think it ties things up better than many Xuanhuan novels out there. Despite this being a gargantuan book, it felt surprisingly shorter than expected, but I also got decent at skim reading to get to only the core parts of the text which is probably the reason. In terms of comedy, I definitely preferred "The Strongest System", but this also has its moments where I burst out laughing, and the author is sincere in his Afterword about mentioning that this book has its flaws. I'd give it a 3.5/5. Maybe read after you've gone through others on your bucket list.c797, when Wei Changfeng (Wei Ruyan's father) ends up dying trying to get the Cloudmist flower to save his daughter
c1576, when it turns out the one he is marrying is Luo Qiqi and Ruoxin shows up. This is probably the only time I was genuinely surprised by a plot twist that I didn't see coming, but it's partly because I forgot about the details of how Qiqi had to leave to go back to her family. That being said, it is utterly ridiculous that he never uses Qiqi's first name in the presence of her brother before the marriage and that he instead just assumes it's Ruoxin.
The vast majority of the book takes place in the Master Teacher Continent, with a small portion dedicated to Azure, and an even smaller portion for Firmament. I feel like there could have been more room to explore the latter two, but I think most epics end up like this. Perhaps the author gets tired and feels the urge to end it sooner
