Originally I wanted to finish this novel before reviewing it.
Unfortunately, the next story arc have disappointed me and I think would be the biggest downfall of the novel.
Let us begin:
The story follows a young man called Wu Yu, he was a mortal emperor, who stumbled upon an 'immortal' or 'fairy' inheritance.
He will then swear upon himself to become immortal, to break free from life and death cycle.
Parts of this novel especially the characters is inspired by Journey To The West.
-- Main Character:
At the beginning, although smart and decisive, the main character was ultimately naive since he was born and raised as a mortal.
Throughout the story, there will be a plenty of developments for Wu Yu that will nicely develop his character to the more complex and harsh cultivation world.
Wu Yu's comprehension and talent are very good even without the inheritance.
His inheritance is inspired by one of the character from Journey To The West.
Hint:
Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Hoop)
-- Other Character:
Every arc of the story will have its' own notable character that will stay relevant within the story arc.
However,
as the main character become stronger and the story arc moved on, the previous character will usually be irrelevant.
There are few characters that will stay relevant to the future story Random Rant:
Except one character I really hate author wants to keep relevant regardless of reasons
from the early arc.
There are sides characters that will be involved with the Main Character and the story most likely until the end. Hint:
Journey To The West Characters
--World Building:
I won't spoil too much but it follows Qi Condensation, Jin Dan, etc.
Where most of them follow the rules from for ex: 1st level of Qi Condensation to 10th level of Qi Condensation.
Thankfully, most of the fight has a proper writing behind it and always influenced by the current skill learned by Wu Yu.
Against stronger enemy,
He will tend to use smart strategy to overwhelm or beat the enemy which is a habit he gained since he was a mortal where wisdom could beat strength.
Pill and Matrix/Symbol mastery is integrated within their cultivation.
In order to advance, it is important to understand the 'tao' behind pill and matrix/symbol cultivation.
Therefore, in this novel, it is expected that everyone would be able to create their own pill or draw their own matrix/symbol.
--Romance:
This is the part that unfortunately disappoint me the most.
The early romance of Wu Yu is very important to his development and ultimately matures him a lot.
This is usually a good thing, however, when the author decided to keep extending this romance arc, it sadly become like a 'household tv drama romance'.
My rant:
The author decided to keep the first girl to become relevant until the future story, whereas her story arc and relationship with the Main character should have ended long ago.
Even the motivation to keep her in the story is very shallow!.
The reason being just because the MC cares.
Which is unbelievable since their relationship was already broken and even the MC decided to cut-off further contact with her.
But then somehow the MC still cares about her and won't move on.
Even she herself hates the MC more than anything.
Oh! And of course the author pulled one of the cliche move where one character will disappear and suddenly either become as strong, or stronger from the MC for some reason.
Other potential romance characters have already start to appear however their conclusion or romance status with the MC have yet to be seen (until ch.916).
--
In conclusion, this novel is a must try and you may enjoy it.
I may continue reading this novel until the end which will depend on the next story arc.
Unfortunately it is hard to read a story arc when the foundation of that story arc is very weak and lazy (refer to my rant in the romance section).
It would have been 4/5, but until the current chapter I would give this 3/5.
his woman wanted him to kill his friend because he is the son of her mothers killer, the friend who saved him and helped him. MC refused so the girl became enemies with him. To be noted the MC doesnt like her anymore but she hates him. He spares her a bit too much tbh. But still he thinks shes a little girl. And she hasnt gone past his bottom line.
The break up with the first girl was done exceptionally. Completely understand both sides positions. A girl who lost her mother to demons, wants revenge. And an MC who wants a talented girl who doesnt kill someone just for being a demon. MC had enough and refused to entertain her demon slaying oath. So the relationship broke down. NO ntr also
-
- Fights and abilities. This isnt too bad. It really is basic and is based off Sun Wukong. He also has abilities like shadow clones and size increase and size decrease. It is easy to imagine and the flow works smoothly. Fights work smooth too.
Cons:He is from the Yan Huang country. He has the yan huang bloodline. But then he travels with a princess to a foreign nation and joins their army. Wtf? Werent you already part of another country. Why are you betraying them? Yes he is in danger by that country, but this guy has no qualms about loyalty. For example imagine if your a Chinese soldier and then you leave to Japan and go to the American base in Japan. Then you join the American army, because the Chinese government wants to question you. Everyone just accepts it because he has a powerful American princess backing him. Why is he allowed to join an enemy army? Why is he not being doubted by the higher ups?
MC is in a foreign nation with a princess. He is a love rival for many powerful youths. So they gang up on him. In the midst of this MC female companion (not the princess) gets turned into a block of ice. The girl almost died to her own brother too. MC is summoned by the higher ups and they tell him dont tell anyone what happened because if people find out her own brother helped attack her, people would look down on them. SO what does MC do? He goes and starts screaming out what happened 10 seconds after he was told not to. He didnt say, you know what. I will keep my mouth and shut and beat the hell outta all these bastards later. Or he could have made people go and search for the female companion who turned into ice. Doing this people will get suspicious. MC only needs to spread rumours that she died by her own brothers friends. Rumours will grow stronger when they arent shut down immediately. MC only needs to make the people lose trust and question. But he decided to scream it out. Because he didnt think she deserved this and he wanted justice for her. He put himself in danger for such small things.
-
- Plot armor. A few times author will write himself into a hole and readers will realize its too deep for MC to jump out on his own. SO author has to deus ex machina the situation to save the MC or just blatantly bring out some B.S plot armor. For example

Edit: NEW RATING 1/5. WHY? I finished this novel, skimming alot of unnecessary parts. But this novel, is decent at the start. But tr*sh later on. Clingy ex is just ridiculous, iv seen c*ckroaches before, but not on that level. Trust me the novel becomes soo bad later on, you will be wondering what happened to the author. But the author decided to write a new book while this one wasnt finished, I believe he himself gave up on this book. SO I really cant blame the author when his mind was elsewhere. Plot holes become far too consistent later on, and many story points are not finished and touched upon.MC got done in by a powerful expert. He was a dead man. Powerful expert was like hang on, let me take your body. He entered the MC body and lo and behold the weapon of Sun wukong does some mysterious sh*t and bang the powerful expert is heavily weakened. Now MC allies can defeat him. Tch, when stuff like that happens. It makes you wonder is the MC invincible? Why the staff react when he is about to die? Its happened a few times too. It really don't make sense when there is aspirit inside the staff too that doesnt know sh*t about it because she died and it didn't help her. Only way he survived is due to author.
- Every person in this novel is a hypocrite (MC including) and loves to sh*t all over the MC for no reason. You have MC who comes from a backwater place (like all MC's do), yet every f*cking person is like "how dare you get that treasure we were all fighting for, if you don't give it up, my father will come and slaughter your homeland." Not a single person thinks that hey maybe if we treat this guy who came from a shitty place and can beat all of us (who are like always 5-7 cultivation levels ahead) and was able to get the treasure that no one else could get nicely, then he will belong to our country and be part of us. Instead they think hey look at this tr*sh, he must have a unique treasure, lets kill him and steal it from him. In the 700+ chapter's I've read, I can count MAYBE 5 people who were nice to the MC (and most of them were in the beginning of the novel which I enjoyed). In the last 300 or so chapters, not a single person has been nice to the MC or if they had, its simply to lure him to their homeland where they can kill him and steal his stuff.
- Enemies/Villians are pathetic in this novel. At the beginning there was some interesting people who would attack MC for other reasons than "you stole my treasure in this special realm that we were all fighting for" or "lets kill the MC simply because he is from a weak place and therefore there will be no consequences." Lately its been all that and I'm tired of arrogant young master villians. The funny thing is that even foot soldiers are arrogant. MC joined an army that is supposed to be full of "elites" and even the f*cking weakest soldiers are acting like they are gods.
- Romance. I wont even go into depth about how much I hate a certain female who is a c*ckroach, instead I will talk about our MC who is a hypocrite as it ties in here. He/she breaks off a relationship due to difference of thought, yet he continues to spare her life when she literally tries to kill him for not helping her kill demons. I remember MC in the earlier parts of the novel say that he will not kill innocent demons and he even made a demon friend who I love, yet in the recent chapters (700s) he enters a realm full of demons and slaughters them to get points for a trial.
Some pros: The fights and action is cool and I still like those scenes. MC... more>>b) the transition I really like the pacing because its not too fast, nor is it too slow. It stays somewhere in the medium (because the story has tendency to explicate certain things, especially up to the 30 plus chapters), but its not too short nor too draggy. The transitions are well placed. We know what would happen, but there's always a twist. Therefore the cliffhangers do bring a meaning because its not a matter of "when will you wrap up the matter" (which is prevailent in many xianxia / xuanhuan cliffhangers) but rather a matter of "how are you going to wrap up the matter / solve the problem). Like another commentator, I'm surprised at the quality of the starting point. Its very strong and I believe if you compare with some of the "top ranking" novels in NUF, this story can hold its weight / ground (well at least up to chapter 44 where as of writing, that's how much its translated) compared to other stories' 44 chapters. Definitely a good one to read for the action and drama.
- The fight scenes are thought out and done well. The power system is nice and easy to follow, nothing too complicated.
- The translation is excellent, no complaints there.
- story starts off rather decent and as always the cultivation novels have MC jumping from place to place which is good imo so it has potential to get better. MC is also bearable at the beginning and if his character developed it could have been a great character.
Cons- Romance. I dont understand many authors who write cultivation novels and then think that romance is something essential. imo these novels would be done much better with no romance at all since most of them are garbage. I mean harem is essential in these novels since romance is done so badly.

- Plot. too many plot holes that the story becomes mundane. Soo many missing plot points that weren't touched upon.

- MC motivation. for these novels where will power is a form of plot armor, I only accept high will power MC if they have great reasons. for example, if they are fueled by revenge. there will power will be insanely high until they get revenge, once they get it. This will power will be gone. Following my logic? Anyways the higher the goal, the stronger the will power required to obtain it. Wu Yu goal? immortality? why does he want to be immortal? no idea, author just decided to make this his life goal which is weird. for someone who loves life soo much he is constantly taking death to dinner, a full course meal in fact. Its also stated he was a general who grew up on the battlefield, so he shouldnt have an intense fear of death. Anyways his will power is insanely high due to him wanting to be immortal. idk why, he dont fear death... those that want immortality mostly do it because they fear death, or they dont want to die. Wu Yu dont fear death, in fact if he were to die for his ex girlfriend, he would... which is funny
- World building. Early on, the world building made sense and was really good imo. Everything you felt, however later chapters. everything is flipped on its head. Things that havent been done before in history are common feats now. geniuses earlier in the novel were said to be never before seen talents, yet the next location he goes are a notch higher.
Overall, I was enjoying this novel at the beginning, however it became a chore to read later chapters. I do regret reading it due to one character the author just refused to kill. the novel would be 2.5 out of 5 if he had killed her. its not that she is an evil character which I hate, she is badly written and is being carried by plot armor.For example his first girl. Nangong Wei, iv never seen such an annoying love interest in these novels before. She broke up with him for such a s*upid reason, he decided to defend demons while she decides they need to die. However the issue with this is, the author decided to flip on this and make Nangong a clone of a phoenix girl LOL. so all this 'i need to kill all demons' was just a pathetic ploy when she was a damn demon herself. Imagine that... Also the dragon girl dont have much depth to her too, she is much better than other girls but even her is just bland.
The person he got the legacy from. the old servant, no idea who he is or what he is. he quite literally dies there and never appears again in the story. Also the dragon ancestor never makes an appearance despite alot of foreshadowing to his appearance etc. many other plot holes that just dont make any sense at all. but I understand, author decided to abandon this novel and start his other novel. so thats why this novel is lacking.
