Summary

A typical otherworld-rebirth xianxia with Chinese ancient martial arts: the protagonist uses his past-life killer skills and flying knives to rise in a yuan-power world, and the "entering the Way through martial arts" premise delivers some satisfying payoffs; the early ancient-formation counter-kill and the village tyrant-slaying arc are brisk. Weaknesses: the opening killer romance and rebirth setup drag on, characters are flat, and villains and fight scenes are formulaic. Suitable for casual followers of traditional power-fantasy and martial-arts fiction; readers seeking strong prose and innovation may be disappointed.

Editor's review

Who it's for

A good fit for

Xianxia readers who enjoy otherworld rebirth and comeback stories

Not a good fit for

Readers who demand strong prose and character depth
Readers who dislike formulaic villains and fight scenes
Readers put off by a long past-life setup at the start

Reading tips

The first two chapters set up the past-life death and rebirth; skim them before the Xiao Family Village training mainline
Watch how the protagonist uses his two core tools—flying knives and ancient formations—as the book's main draw
If you prefer leveling-up thrills, focus on the mountain training and city evil-slaying sections

FAQ

Why can the protagonist grow stronger without being able to condense yuan power?

He was a killer in his past life, possessing Chinese martial arts and flying-knife skills; after rebirth he enters the Way through martial arts and cultivates by a different path.

Does this book have a single female lead?

The opening features his past-life lover Chu Xue; the romance is not the mainline, which centers on martial cultivation and comeback.

Do I need to start from chapter one?

It's best to read the first two chapters for the past-life cause and effect, then skip the setup and go straight to the otherworld mainline.

Is it connected to the author's other books?

The author has several other xianxia works; this is a standalone story that can be read on its own.
