Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love ED and it used to be my undisputed top 1 novel before and I would have given it 5/5 stars easily without the slightest bit of hesitation, but it just went downhill after 3 immortal worlds arc. Fights/dialogues/interactions are all repetitive af and Author just keeps milking the novel by unnecessarily dragging the plot. He takes 1-2 chapters to explain how amazing an artifact is and what kind of impression the cultivators in the audience have about the person LQY is facing and how amazing he/she is and how LQY will get insta-slaughtered, not to mention pearless beauties with jade-like skins and slender legs. No matter how much battle prowess LQY shows, people are just too blind to see Mt. Tai, until he completely eradicates a few Sects. Even with that, some people are too blind to see his brilliance and keep provoking him.
Everyone except LQY and his subordinates are brainless ret*rds who don't know what is good for them and keep underestimating the MC, it is the same sh*t since chapter 1 till latest raws (c2388). When MC kills some arrogant young master who provokes MC just because he looks ordinary and for no other reason at all, people are like "Oh look, that ordinary looking guy just killed Young Master of Wang Sect, Wang Sumting, who tried to create problem for him just because his was taking a stroll with the Goddess of his heart, how dare he! Wang sect will never let him off." And when MC easily kills all the guys who come after him and even destroys that sect itself, people are like "What? He easily destroyed Wang sect, one of the strongest sects on this contintent and didn't spare even the dogs and chickens? Well that is too bad, but Yang sect who had a good relationship with Wang sect will never let him off" and so on, same sh*t recycled all over again and again even till the latest raws. Author wastes tens even hundreds of chapters on irrelevant ret*rded/arrogant/pampered young masters who barely affect the plot of the story. ED no longer possesses that adrenaline-like sensation it used to give before and now it is just a painful read. I know it is Author's story and he can do whatever he wants with it, but I hope he steps on a lego for ruining such a good story.
Pacing:
I absolutely do not recommend waiting everyday for releases, as this story moves at an agonizing snail's pace. For example, there was an entire chapter dedicated to the enemy SWINGING HIS WEAPON DOWNWARD, not even reaching the MC yet. Like, this is the most blatant money milking from word-count I have ever seen in a CN. I urge readers to bulk up on at least 50 chapters when fights start, to avoid becoming suicidal.
Characters
Enemies in this novel are outright brain-dead. In this novel, like many other xianxia, expect the decomposition of the characters' brain matter as the cultivation climbs higher. Every cultivator and their mother are easily triggered and offended at the slightest whiff of insult, that I just don't know how the entire cultivation universe hasn't imploded from overflowing s*upidity. It is just something you have to accept in almost all xianxia, unfortunately.
There are many characters that the author creates, but in the end all interactions between the MC and them are extremely shallow, with them most likely being taught by MC, where he spews crap about the dao heart, and then they are forgotten forever. At the end of every arc, the MC says that they are be predestined friends and will meet again. Unfortunately for them, the only thing they are predestined to be is lost in the void of side characters. Again, this is something that most experienced xianxia readers will come to expect when reading theses types of novels.
The MC, Li Qi Ye, is set up as an uber smart dude who carefully plans out all his actions, and has been doing so for a long ass time. It's actually quite entertaining in the beginning arcs, but then his 'plans' become total ass-pulls. For example, the MC is in a bind, and then all of a sudden some random [insert deus ex machina] saves him, or the situation conveniently falls into MC's favour, and MC says "Yeah, I totally expected that to happen, I totally planned all this sh*t out", and that's the end of that, MC is just too much of a genius for us plebians to understand his grand schemes.
The MC is a massive prick, and goes out of his way to provoke people. It's hard to cheer him on because of this. On the other hand, the enemies are too moronic for me to give my sympathy to. Side characters have a high turnover rate, with new ones being introduced and old ones discarded constantly. There is basically no one I give a crap about in this entire novel.
Oh yeah, the main enemy:
Big bad boss, Old Thief Heaven, vaguely described throughout the novel, nothing concrete as of 2500+ and I don't expect the final confrontation until 5000+.
Plot:
Every arc repeats itself.
This is exaggerated, obviously, but I wouldn't say it's too far-fetched. Repeat this for pretty much every single arc, and you have Emperor's Domination. The frustrating thing about this plot is the emphasis on EVERYONE UNDERESTIMATING THE MC. Story arcs last approximately 300 chapters, and I'd say 250 of those chapters is the MC pretending to be a weak-ass b*tch, just so that he can finally show his true strength in the last fight. The MC doesn't even unleash his full strength until about tens of chapters into the fight, where all spectating cultivators collectively blow their qi-infused loads in disbelief at the MC's strength. The hundreds of chapters wait, where the MC is dissed non-stop, is not worth the final unveiling of his true strength.
The cultivation is total crap, not even going to spend time writing about it.
Do not read! Stay away from this Novel or I promise you, you will regret it!
If it was possible, I would have given it a Negative 5 rating. The author only cares about money and not the readers.
The Novel currently has almost 4000 chapters, but more than 60% of them are irrelevant filler chapters the author uses to prolong the story so he can get more revenue.
Every time the MC goes to another world, he loses all of his cultivation and starts all over from the beginning.
And it happens three times!!!
The first time he went to another world, he lost his cultivation and started from the beginning and the author used it as an opportunity to write hundreds of filler chapters where one-time arrogant young master characters and their foolish ancestors always target the MC because he looks like a weak nobody and MC ends up destroying their sect in retaliation.
The second time he went another world, the same routine happened but the amount of filler chapters became much worse. It was so bad that the arc had over a thousand chapters and by reading only a hundred or so select chapters from the beginning and middle of the arc, plus the climax of the arc (which had only a few hundred chapters), I had skipped hundreds of chapters in that arc and still didn't miss anything important and relevant.
And just when we thought we were finally approaching the long-awaited final arc of the story, the author slapped us in the face big time!
He killed off the MC and let millions or even billions of years pass before he was revived in another world (his original world) and just like usual, he lost all of his cultivation and now has to cultivate back to the peak all over again, for the third time!
And just like before, the author is taking the opportunity to write even more hundreds - thousands of filler chapters, where the same one-time arrogant young masters and their s*upid ignorant ancestors who don't know the MC's true identity and ability (because he likes to pretend he is an average teenager), disregard him as a weak nobody, and MC ends up destroying them as usual.
Another thing you'll hate in this novel is Obscurity. The author makes everything frustratingly mysterious. From cultivation, to concepts, themes, history, geography... Everything is extremely vague and impossible to understand. The author makes it so by not explaining next to nothing.
You can have a million guesses on what the answers to those questions are, but they'll forever remain guesses as the author makes us believe we'll never get answers.
2) accumulate power and followers and build influence and prestige etc etc here MC
1) has no interest in proving anything, the only reason he "requests" (more like order and not even remotely respectful) is because the sect was build by his disciple with his support. Due that reason only he appears border line amicable but still treats the sect as his own backyard and the inhabitants as his followers/servants/students etc 2) he is in his own world and rather than reincarnate/time travel he just got his real body back. That means that all the prestige/influence/followers he built across millions of years still exists in present. but his "existence" is treated more or less as mindless legends/myths and it doesn't help that he keeps his identity secret and acts aloof (though ppl close to him friends and enemies alike almost instantly recognise him) Now, moving towards what ppl call rinse-repeat situations. Though like many novels the format may seem to follow visit new world -> provke someone -> crush them - > go to another world -> repeat that's by far NOT the plot, they are just byproduct of MC acting aloof and can more or less treated as fillers. The main aim of MC visiting these worlds are, because he more or less planned them, to meet someone, to collect some item, to check on certain situations etc etc based on information he collected for millions of years. None of these worlds are new to him. he has either visited them before or knows of their existence and above all he has atleast fee connections/ppl in each region.
The main and ONLY plot of novel and aim of MC is to fight certain someone who is literally an apex creature that has existed across time and more or less lords over the world. Many strong existence (MC's disciples n friends) have fought/are fighting this being and none have won so far. This is the reason why MC refuses to give face or acknowledge or take anyone seriously as he has not only seen and been at the pinnacle, he has also experienced brutal war waged among those at Pinnacle.
Even MC has been defeated before by this apex being. So once MC gt control of his real body he has embarked on an quest to collect every form of advantage he possibly could like not only weapons/items but also secrets/informations about this being. This is the reason why he visits different worlds and peoples.
Like I said the "conflicts"/"fights" with ignorant young masters mostly arises because MC always pretends to be ordinary person (not weak but ordinary) while trying to solve mysteries or collect treasures. These so called ppl more often than not gets ticked of by MC ignoring or not giving them any attention. But again the main plot is "why MC is here and what's he doing", "what's the story behind this place/person/treasure" "whats the secret" and not who is provoking him or for whatever reason etc etc
There are multiple side plots and foreshadowing and ominous encounter/warnings that get resolved as series progress.. like seriously a plot thread that seemingly is "forgotten" in next subsequent arcs gets revisited sometimes 100s of chapters later (one got explained only after 1500+ chapter. Like it was just a vague conversation about impossible world with a prisoner trapped in an underground location gets explained in detail... Much much much later). The author of this novel is known for their uncanny ability of foreshadowing/dropping vague hints on what can happen in novel.
And Last but not the least, but perhaps one of the most IMPORTANT thing. The translation is of TOP NOTCH quality and the translator himself stays true to their schedule and any (very few) missed schedules are compensated as soon as possible by him.
[UPDATE C3610] DAMM!! I STOP READING THIS! its so much frustating with so much repetitive faceslapping young M idiot.... after billions year sine last battle MC still act like sh*t kid! Author drag his story too much... where the f@cking HEAVEN?!! its just like reset from the begining of the novel, where he free from demon grotto. MC didn't go to Expedition, but strolling while acting like idiot (maybe he only free some tied knot before go)....i said no... just read then u will know.. he isn't doing that....i will only read the important chaps till end......... so sad such a great novel ruimed by another foolish, quantity-over-quality Author. :' ( RIP ED....... [PAST REVIEW]
This will be a GREAT story IF the author not wasting time for F*** young master bullshit, and repetitive plot... power up, beating YM, reset cultivation (but still op), move realm, again and again.... this cycle seemed endless If you ignore that, well~ you will see the great journey towards the heaven.... i really like MC, he simply BADASS..... As for romance: none The MC too busy and old to think about romance, almost all female chara become either maid or maid and disciple~ For me this really a great story...
