Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Fate had never been kind to Ji Ning. Wracked by illnesses and infirm his entire life on Earth, Ji Ning knew early on that he would die as a teenager. What he didn’t know was that there really was such a thing as life after death and that the multiverse was a far larger place than he thought.
A lucky twist of fate meant that Ji Ning was reborn into a world of Immortals and monsters, of Ki Refiners and powerful Fiendgods, a world where Dynasties lasted for millions of years. A world which is both greater… and yet also smaller… than he ever could imagine. He would have the opportunity to join them, and in this life, Ji Ning swore to himself, he would never let himself be weak again! The Era he was born into was a Desolate one, but Ji Ning would make it his era.

*spoil alert*
The biggest flaw in this novel is the LIFEBLOOD OATH. - Almost problem solve by lifeblood oath, no scheming, no betraying or tactic to solve the problem. Everything is simple, just swear lifeblood oath. - MC's life is already simple due to lifeblood oath and then MC doesn't have any rival, no one can fight him, no genius in the same generation can fight him. MC is too overwhelming. - Developing of MC is very crude, lack of detail. In the story, MC comprehends Dao seem very hard but it was described to the reader in just one or two paragraphs, at most 1 chapter. The logic of comprehension is also weak. - almost no surprising scene. Again, because of the lifeblood oath. There only two surprises in this novel. First, Yu Wei, Second, He failed in Daomerge. I accept these are very good, but then, just only two.
Actually quite good. There were a lot of unexpected plot twists for me. I think it's fair to say that this novel has departed from a lot of the cliches of other xianxia. MC is not always incredibly lucky, and there are times when he loses.
I won't spoil or summarize; other people have done that. I blazed through most of the novel and ignored a lot of the filler, so maybe some people who took their time with the novel will have better insight. From my point of view, reflecting back on the experience, it was very not bad. 4/5
Story: 4.2/5
Writing: 2.9/5 (4.5/5 when describing some battles or the Dao) (Update as of Book 8 Chapter 12: A whole lot of filler. Just too much filler. What the hell.) (Update as of Book 8 Chapter 7: Starting to notice a decline in the story quality, battle descriptions, and Dao descriptions. Seems the author was running out of things to do and so tried to rapidly rush through the progression of the MC. Hoping that things will get better, but as of now I'm starting to lose interest only because the quality of the story telling hasn't shown any real improvements and has actually started to decline.) First off, I'm really REALLY enjoying this series. Now that that's out of the way... Grammatically, I've seen better. It takes a typical story tell approach of the author actually trying to emphasize unimportant aspects through the usage of blatantly repeating things as well as exclamation marks. I've had to mentally remind myself that he's not a professional novelist with a professional editor to slap him across the back of the head to tell him, "No, exclamation marks are only for characters to use". Biggest gripe about his writing, the usage of a few terms the writer or translation group seems to favor (i.e. "... how could he resist/fight back/not be [something or other]", and "... was secretly surprised"). Story wise, it's a typical growth progression story that builds to higher and higher heights while discarding everyone who was "Valued" after they gain a new level in power (Think 'Dragon Ball' series, but without anyone able to progress along with the MC). Bad stuff out of the way, I am really hooked because of the expression of something as intangible as the Dao was done rather well. I can't claim any kind of real knowledge as to what the Dao should be but the essence of the Dao being a potential within everything including emotions or fleeting feelings seems near perfect to me. I say give it a try, it's a fairly good read so far, just don't go looking for anything original in this work.
There are quite some plot holes though, especially annoying was how his maid 'Spring Grass" who raised him and who is one of the only characters he "cried for" just got forgotten to revived even though he brought back to life all kind of ancient gods and devils and people completely unrelated to him.
i believe the stories would get better if the author's tries to get the story revolved more around the character rather than have all the character adapt to the world they are in. This can keep the unique in the way they can behave.
