Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Long Chen, a crippled youth who cannot cultivate, is constantly targeted and bullied by his fellow noble heirs. After a particularly vicious beating, he wakes up and realizes a Pill God’s soul has somehow merged with him, giving him additional memories. Among those memories is the mysterious “Nine Star Hegemon Body Art”, a cultivation technique even he can train in, but its secrets and origin are still a mystery to him. Relying on his improved instincts as he finally begins to cultivate, he realizes a huge conspiracy is underfoot within the Phoenix Cry Empire, one involving his father, the members of the imperial family, and even the emperor himself.
In order to solve the mysteries around him, he must rely on his new alchemy techniques and the powerful but baffling Nine Star Hegemon Body Art. Countless enemies block him as he attempts to climb to the peak of the cultivation world.
His destined fate was to only be a chess piece, but he will not bow to the will of the Heavens.

- Occasionally funny
The Bad:... more>>- Meaningless fights that drag on for chapter after chapter? Check!
- Excruciatingly annoying enemies that escape over and over and over? Check!
- Entire arcs where the MC's cultivation is stuck and he makes zero progress? Check! Heck, the author even throws in one powerful enemy after the other to harass the MC while he's stuck, so you can really FEEL the frustration!
- Contrivances, deus ex machina and people picking up the idiot ball, all for the sake of heaping on more pointless drama? Check!
There are many more but I think you get the point.Most of them are in the vein of "This is a cheap rip-off of xyz" or "I dun understand y protag so s*upid" Frankly speaking, the story doesn't exactly start off all that amazing. It's got your standard MC gaining a cheat, in this case memories of a Pill God. As the story goes on however, it's not really the plot that drives the story. The plot gets better for sure, and certainly stop hindering the story. What makes this story a half decent... more>>
The first 100 chapters, the author makes it seem, like he had all the plot cliches... more>>
- Every fight follows the same pattern, ALWAYS.
- Every joke is the same, ALWAYS.
- MC carrying the whole dragon blood legion with him for 4400 + chapters is the same s*upid shit, ALWAYS.
- This is one of the most s*upid plots I have ever seen in a cultivation novel. MC carrying 10.000+ dead weights with him because of "BROOTHERHOOD". Bit*h plz, out of the 10.000 we only know 15 peoples names. The rest can go all die for all I care. Some tr*sh people somehow become amazing cultivators, ALWAYS, by following MC around.
- MC ALWAYS being the underdog in every single fight with other geniuses. In first fight, MC will ALWAYS be weaker and barely draw with the opponent, or just run away. In second fight, MC will ALWAYS be just a bit stronger than the genius opponent, but ALWAYS not strong enough to kill him. MC must ALWAYS fight all the genius opponents at least 3 times in order to kill them, sometimes even more.
- MC ALWAYS gets framed, and chased for s*upid reasons, by the whole world.
- MC will ALWAYS BE A virg*n, even 4000+ chapters in. (I dont count the s*x with Leng Yueyan, because he was basically forced into submitting. He literally got f*cked, instead of fcking.)
- Oh and yea, MC will ALWAYS be lower in cultivation than the whole dragon blood legion by a few stages.
Do you fellow daoists, manage to see the patern here??? I guess you do. Its the word 'ALWAYS'. Because thats what happens in this novel. The same pattern of the above points happens ALWAYS during the 4400+ chapters of this novel. So concluding,... more>>- While the story tends to follow a repetitive cycle

, what stands out to be the hidden past of Long Chen and the history behind his world and others. The mystery really pushes the reader to try and learn more about the greater plot, which is a first for me, personally. There are also some decent explanation on so many "geniuses" are appearing within Long Chen's era, and it feels like the author has really planned far ahead (though, there are some plot holes and armor, of course).
- Dialogue is really refreshing, though more on Long Chen's side. Sadly, antagonists are often seen uttering the same old adages of "courting death", "frog in the well", "if I don't kill you, I'm not human". However, what comes from Long Chen's mouth are often hilarious and different than most other novel's characters. A reoccuring theme in the story is how Long Chen often has to fight against both Righteous and Corrupt Path sects, and he often snarks against the hypocrisy of the Righteous Path. It feels almost like a call out to a lot of novels where the main character is often suppressed by people who are supposed to be shining paragons. Not only that, the conversations about Heavenly Daos, loyalty, and "righteousness" are also great to read through.
- Most of the heroines have their own personality and backgrounds, and they're not instantly "once a waifu, no longer plot relevant". Each heroine are strong, and some of them are just as strong or stronger than the main character. Long Chen displays great loyalty to his wives, and there is no s*x or dual cultivation shenanigans at all.
Here are some neutral or negative points of the story.of moving onto a sect -> tournament/another dimension world -> grand fight -> move to bigger sect -> rinse and repeat with variance
- Long Chen has character flaws, and he gets called out on it rightfully so. Long Chen does not view himself as a paragon or anything; as long as you don't threaten his brothers and his loved ones, he won't do anything back. Of course, the plot always tend to force this point, which results in him having to kill no matter what. While he's not a person who slaughters for no reason, his temper and patience is often a major issue.
- The story shares many standard xianxia/xuanhuan tropes about cultivation methods and levels, alchemy and flames, and battles. If you've seen one novel's fight, NSHBA isn't any different. The arcs tend to be repetitive in nature, though there is still enough variance within them to keep you interested in the story.
- Side characters are not that fleshed out. Even if there are re-occurring characters, we just only know their name, their cultivation level, and barely any of their motivations, background, or interests.
- Often times, you'd wonder how someone who has a higher cultivation base than Long Chen would have "little to no battle experience" and only got there through "receiving pointers" only. This odd consistency just makes cultivation levels feel like a joke at times.
- The amount of times that the Righteous Path has colluded with Corrupt Path to try and kill Long Chen will make you roll your eyes. One argument can be said that this is part of the major plot

Above all, I do think that NSHBA is one of the most enjoyable reads for a xianxia/xuanhuan novel, and that if you were interested with Battle Through the Heavens, this might appeal to you as well.that the entire continent has such deep corruption and Long Chen is part of the tide to cleanse it all.
