My favorite of Priest's. I don't like angsty novels. Every chapter was a despair in my heart. But I can't stop loving it because the story is fascinating and touched my heart from the beginning.

Priest has a ton of great works and I haven't read them all, but Liu Yao really has a special place in my heart. It holds up well for rereadings.

It's a very cosy novel. The family of disciples is cute and the main couple is so funny. Not too much overt romance, but enough pining for a tasty read.

Also I love that dumbass peac*ck (affectionate) Yan Zhengming so much.

Some of the more esoteric stuff went over my head at first. Wish I could read and understand the original Chinese, it... more>> must be even better.

Really recommend to most people unless you want smut scenes or sprawling epics. It's a 'quieter' story if that makes sense. <<less

Wow, this novel was one hell of a ride. The plot, world building, and character development are all very complex. This has to be my favorite novel about cultivation yet, it is just immersion overload.

The story just kept me hooked, the knives hurt, and the fluffy moments were also there. The characters are the best, I love their lil sect family and how they overcame all the struggles and hardships they went through. Each of the main Fuyao sect members were well developed. I also love how realistic the interactions... more>> of the CP were, like it isn't forced and they aren't shallow h**ny monsters (unlike some novels out there).

Would recommend 10/10 <<less

This is huge roller-coaster. Ups and down, ups and down, fluff and pain. Fluff and pain again. Super master piece.

The best things is the growth of the characters. All of them splendid. Luv it ;3

My fav part is; even in big criss or in huge battle, their Fuyou Sect siblings still bickering each other. So funny and fluff. Hahahhahaha

I gonna read this thing agian ❤️❤️❤️

I started reading this novel about a year or so back when the translation was only updated to bout chapter 71 and only now have I been able to fully finish the novel and MAN it has not disappointed!! The found family dynamic makes me want to laugh and cry all the same, the way the characters have developed, all their flaws (because none of the protags are perfect by any means, and the whole bit with each of their precepts was a touch that I adored because it meant... more>> room for growth and change), the battles they have to fight through (both mentally and physically), and the pining? Gosh the pining was phenomenally executed. And the fact that the BL wasn't on the forefront, it was more so something on the sidelines of the main story, I liked that quite a lot too.

The humor is fantastic and never failed to bring a smile to my face, and constantly there were lines and parts where I'd have to stop and completely reconsider my place in the universe and think about my regrets and hopes and dreams and dang even with all the tiny crises I had reading this, it was worth the read.

The only thing con I would have is the amount of difficultly I had keeping up with what was happening along the last few arcs. Just--lots of terminology and even as someone who can understand Chinese, just keeping track of everything (especially since I jumped into the novel like a whole year after I started it) was definitely hard for me. Otherwise, love love love this novel so much; it's definitely up there in my favorites and I'd recommend it to anyone willing to give found family a shot. <<less

First let me talk about things that I like from this story. I love the interactions between the main characters. It feels like a real family. Although they like to bickering with each other everywhere everytime, when one is in dire straits, the others would even willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of the other. It not only happens to the main cp, but also the whole Fuyao Sect family. The romance isn't toxic at all (there are so many novels I've dropped because the relationship is very toxic,... more>> with kind of overpossessive character). The main character's bound (5 disciples from Fuyao) is truly likable. But there are also a few (not many) parts that make me can't give it 5 stars. First, the MC is sometimes too overreacting, to the point that it became unnecessary if not for the sake of plot development. Second, many parts got me confused. Maybe it's just that my understanding toward the plot is low. Well, those are all just my personal opinions. All in all, a warming story and good to read. <<less

Wowwwww, where do I even start...

This novel was just GREAT! So f*cking great! Just what I wanted from a cultivation novel and more. Don't ask me wat it is that I "wanted". Tbh Idk myself, I just know that I'm thoroughly satisfied and feel very very veryyyyyyyy happy that I read this amazing story.

... more>> Priest never disappoints! I loved this one as much as I loved peerless and jin se.

Before starting the story I've glanced at some reviews and one of them said something along the lines about how MC wasn't in as much love as ML was and ngl this thing remained stuck in my head and kept on making me scared if it's like that. But after reading the story I find this is just bad phrasing and bull. I mean kinda it makes sense somewhat and if I could maybe I do want MC to show much more outward love but they both love each other very much. But also once again, I do kinda get wat the other commentor meant too. At times it do feel that ML is more in love than him. Dk wat I feel I'm fickle lol.

But all in all, wat I wanna say is just go ahead and read this! READ IT!! DON'T LOOK AT ANYMORE COMMENTS AND WASTE TIME, GO READDDDD! Yeah so u can guess how much I enjoyed it lol.

The 5 disciples are all lovable as.
Spoiler

I didn't know the demon one would turn out to be han yuan, like damnnn!

Also tang zen, sighhh, wat to even say about him. I feel really really sad for him too. Like if u think about it he was a tragedy.

Also the last extra made me so emotional and melancholic like just (╥﹏╥) such a bittersweet ending our tong ru and his xiao chun got.

[collapse]

I wish tong ru and his xiao chun a happy life together where ever they r. And also may tang zen gets peace and somehow reunite with the empress cause he really did love him. He was a tragedy. Also my poor baby liu lang too, have a peaceful life baby. And my yao birdie, wat a sweet soul they were. Also zhe si, and xuexia I'm sorry I forgot the name π_π

Lastly, I really liked the han yuan and demon bickering! Also the 5 disciples are so funny and perfect together. It was good it all ended well.

This is my longest review yet I feel, I'm not sure but I would like to end it with this excerpt from the novel that completely touched my heart and made me feel so many feelings.

"Even if pining never bore any fruit, there was no harm in melancholy turning to a pure craze.

In all likelihood, if one could die without regrets, that could be seen as ascending, couldn’t it?"

❤❤❤

I definitely recommend reading this AMAZING novel!!!!!!!! <<less

Love you Priest thank you for being born.

Onto the novel. The characters are very well developed, they match each other well, the ship is very fresh and lovely. Warning for tears, no matter how much it starts off as a comedy, it's Priest after all so crying can't be avoided. The plot is amazing as always, things are hinted at enough times for people to guess the outcome, and it does not disappoint. I'd have wished for there to be more chapters, but that's to be expected. There's too many... more>> tlr changes, which is somewhat bothersome, cause the change in tl choices is very glaring, but as the last one is re-tling the ch from the begging you can choose to wait till that's done. <<less

Priest is well known for her world-building and plot, the philosophical and thought-provoking kind regarding cultivation and ascension. What does it mean to ascend, and what is ascension if no one else has ever successfully achieved it? This novel tells the story of five misfit fledglings coming together to revitalize their sect amidst an overarching conspiracy. That alone is worth following their journey as each character grows and develops, learning from their failures and overcoming their flaws to be their best self. What is lacking tremendously in this novel is... more>> the buildup and believability of the romance between the MC and ML. They could just stay as sect brothers, and there wouldn’t be any major differences to the plot line. The romantic tension between the side couple was better than the main CP. <<less

The plot is really good. And the love between the ML and the MC is also good.

Our ML is peac*ck 🦚 here. I kinda love peac*ck MC. He’s a narcissist *the best narcissist peac*ck is still Xiao Feng from WuShuang though*

The MC is also very likable. And the character development will make you love him. Everyone here got a character development. And the supporting characters are also very likable.

But the thing that in every major fighting ... more>>
Spoiler

the MC will vanish and will return later. And in the last 2 final battle both the MC and ML was somewhere else being lovely dovely (they’re fighting too) while the supporting characters are fighting the main battles. That didn’t make sense to me. I understand the supporting characters are strong but I felt that the MC and ML being in the fight would feel better. In the first battle the MC vanished with his shifu and shimei, second time he vanished while they’re fighting in the ocean *the MC comes back and die here **sob sob*** then in another battle both MC and ML went into heart demon and in the final battle they were first at the sea Beiming then placing the wish granting object. I mean each time someone must go missing from the fighting

[collapse]

Well, overall it was good. I enjoyed it <<less

As my third Priest novel, I really am impressed with how dynamic her characters are, and the versatility of her stories. Liu Yao isn't just a xianxia novel, but a close examination of the genre. It's a conversation about the meaning of ascension and cultivation, taking readers through the contemplative process itself rather than simply dazzling an audience with splashy scenes. Life, death, and the universe type beat.

At the same time, Liu Yao has severe flaws, which I think is why there are polarizing reviews. The plot is cohesive, weaving... more>> about three storylines together throughout the course of 100 chapters (the Fuyao sect familial bond, the conspiracy, then the grand conspiracy). But I think the problem is that several important scenes were choppy and certain events weren't fully depicted, which really undermined potential impact.

Ex:
Spoiler

1. The battle of Immortal Binding Platform had great build-up, and there was so much at stake when Yan Zhengming charged in there to save Cheng Qian. But as soon as Han Yuan came, what could've happened was the depiction of a huge battle that involved a dozen very powerful characters. Instead, what did happen was that the subsequent battle got reduced to exposition.

2. The story of Tong Ru and Han Muchun was heart-wrenching, but there's the feeling that I didn't see enough of it. If the sentiments of the 3rd extra were expanded more into the main story, a lot more tears would be falling.

[collapse]

Also, though I am very thankful of rustycol's translation, it wasn't nearly as accurate nor articulate as Chichi's. The sentiments lost in translation made certain scenes a few degrees harder to understand.

In regards to the romance, I really liked the relationship between CQ & YZM. The idea of a peac*ck male lead was so refreshing, and their constant bickering was sweet to read. So many heartwarming scenes that I had to go back and reread a few times.

So tldr, despite all my complaints of Liu Yao, I won't forget its vivid cast of characters, nor its fantastical world-building, any time soon. <<less

After 12 years, this is the first novel that has managed to grab my attention enough to make me finish it. The story was amazing, the characters and their development were masterfully written. The romance felt natural, and what I loved about it, is that it's not the main focus of the novel, but rather a strong motivation for the main characters to keep fighting. Its main focus is actually the struggle of the five martial siblings to find each other, defeat their enemies, and return to their sect so... more>> they can live a peaceful, carefree life like the one their master tried to give them until disaster struck them.. About the villains, that

felt like kaguya in naruto lol, but the rest were great, especially the big bad and his story, I really thought he was just an aloof guy with no ambition haha. Everyone says the last part was rushed or complicated, but I think it was fine. This is definitely a story that will stick with me for a long time. <<less

Not a favourite out of the Priest novels. The plot is all over the place at points, certain scenes made my head hurt trying to understand what was even going on. But, the plot is executed well enough to still understand the main points and since it isn't the most important part of this novel, it's not a deal breaker.

The strongest part of the novel are the characters, which were executed pretty well. So if you don't mind being confused at times for the sake of a really interesting cast,... more>> go right ahead. <<less

An amazing story that follows 5 disciples on their cultivation journey. Every character is great and likeable in his/her own way. It has a lot of action, but also slice of life, an interesting storyline and very sweet romance. 5/5 can recommend!

Okay, so, I'm near to completing this novel so I am updating my review. Yes, the first part of this novel does deserve that 2 star rating. Books 1 and 2 really did test my compulsion to keep reading. But I had already gotten so far and, though the story was boring me to anger, I wanted my payoff, gosh darn it. So I kept reading, and thank god I did. While this story is far from 5 stars, book 3 and up is worth at least 3.5 stars. Overall,... more>> the second half of this series really saves this story. I at least got my payoff. Although I think this story can be a skip. I only started reading out of curiosity cause I saw it was getting a Donghua, but personally it doesn't live up to the hype. <<less

The story about cultivation centers the life of the kids from different background had come to train to find their Dao but in the end, found something better. Their relationship did not start as smooth, as what others say, the bonds comes strong when surviving a great challenge.

It was plainly a barbeque stick. It was beautiful and painful.

=[Fluff-pain-fluff-pain-fluff]=

It showed helplessness, that certain circumstances pushed them to strive and grow stronger in order not to be stepped on by outsiders. Their young hearts were orphaned too soon of their newfound family... more>> and was forced to grow up to protect what remained. It was not victories without sacrifices, they lost but they found courage to go forward-- together. Yet even when apart, they have the same thought in their hearts: Fuyao! The very symbol of their childhood and of their future.
