Become a villain undulating in the spring breeze!
That’s what Blind told him.

Read up-to chapter 400 in mtl. My vague understanding of the story so far. There might be a few wrong bits since I read it in mtl.
grandma is a heaven-defying beauty which caused her master to fall-in-love to her which then made her to kill him in their wedding night, everyone who sees her real appearance or even hears her voice greatly affects their spirits. That is why she is wearing a skin and looking like a grandma
just to boost his self-confidence.
His harem is because his blind grandpa forced him to marry the princess and his rival (in the sect leader position) because his grandpa is afraid of him dying outside the village
If you're searching to read something really interesting go search for another novel.
P.S.
I will update this in the future
*update: chapter 400+
MC starting to create cultivation techniques out of thin-air, this novel is going downhill real quick
Many plebeians don't understand this fine work because they are used to get everything about a world, the MC and his situation on a plate from the very few chapters of a novel. First of all, this is a novel meant to be read for entertainment, not in-depth, realistic character exploration. Just to follow the flow of the fun plot with suspense and gratification. It is the novel with the best humor from those I read in this genre. With surprisingly witty and sharp exchanges of replies between rival peers, MC and enemies and MC and seniors. Second, the lore of the world is very impressive and well-thought from the start- believe me. Just that it is revealed over the course of hundreds of chapters. The author keeps secrets truly secret and the MC only slowly pierces into the mysteries. Even now we don't know the core games played behind the scenes over the course of the million-year history of his world. Certainly worth the read: for the fun, the touching tragedy and the exhilarating plot. It goes beyond the crude face-slapping of other novels.
Some good parts here and there, but overall rather disappointing. It has the appearance of cleverness but not the substance. Here are some of my complaints:
The author aims too high for his ability and ends up failing completely. Had he stuck to the tried-and-true formula followed by God of Slaughter and Great Demon King at least the flaws would not be so glaring.
At best I can rate this 3 stars.
This is a commonly used quote, yet it couldn't fit all these chinese webnovels any better.
We all know how these novels tend to decline towards reaching their end, but we still read them, because we enjoy the journey that leads up to it. ToHG is such a novel, where the journey is incredibly entertaining and well thought out. While Qin Mu, our protagonist, is certainly the firmament of the series, the pillars that hold it together are the side characters. I'm not going to go into too much detail as far as the MC goes, because he does follow the common webnovel tropes of being op, having plot armor, a bunch of women, etc.
What I want to talk about, which is also the reason I want you to read this novel, is the amount of character progression side characters go through, especially in regards to senior cultivators. We've all read novels where these aloof existances, several realms higher than the MC, are introduced, just to either give pointers to the MC, or throw stones in his way. Yet they are never really fleshed out.
Not so in this novel. You will find that almost all of the senior cultivators (not just the ones from Disabled Elderly Village) have recurring appearences and are vital to the plot. This makes for some amazing conversations, where these 100s or 1000s year old people are talking philosophy with eachother and enlighten their respective conversation partners. I've yet to read a novel that does such a wonderful job of keeping people way older than the MC relevant in the story (safe for Cultivation Chat Group I guess). They are not just teachers for the MC or other junior cultivators, but also teachers for eachother. For example: A character who deserted the army 20.000 years ago because he was too afraid of the battlefield, yet he has saved countless mortals by bringing them away. He has always blamed himself for not dying with his brothers back then and was even blamed by other Gods. It took some time to finally sink in what he's done for humanity, until another one of his brothers, who has already died but was brought back as a skeleton, gave a redemption speech for him. It's a beautiful thing really, I can't say it enough. While you might be put off by some bad reviews about the MC, which, for the most part, tell the truth, I'd really urge you to give this novel a try, just for the interaction between characters alone.
Some of the best parts in the novel are not the fighting scenes by far, but the conversations and the characters debating philosophy or religion, or using algebra to outsmart eachother. It's a really unique novel, seemingly throwing just way too many concepts like buddhism, daoism or mathematics randomly together, but the author really does a good job in making you enjoy every single one of them.
You will definitely be hooked, trying to find out more about the MCs past and the history of the different worlds and how everything came to be how it is now. I cannot stress this point enough, this novel is my favorite of all the ones I've read so far for good reason.
