Chen Sha, an ordinary man from Earth, is reborn into the vast lands of Shenzhou in the post-immortal-martial era as the son of Chen Canxuan, the deceased sect master of Daoyi Mountain, the foremost sect under heaven. On his deathbed, his father leaves a final decree: he may not descend the mountain until he becomes the greatest under heaven. Thrust into the position of sect master, Chen Sha must steady the hearts of the sect while facing the threat of his fifth senior brother, Li Jianzhou—a man far surpassing him in both reputation and strength—returning to seize the leadership. Within Chen Sha's body lies the Southern Heavenly Gate; crossing it grants access to the Nine Heavens, where countless fragments of primordial light await for trials and cultivation. Through this gate, he harvests martial arts and fortuitous boons across wondrous realms, rising step by step until he ascends to command the heavens and reshape the very order of celestial rank and destiny.Editor's review
This is a typical sect-master plus heavenly-trial power-fantasy novel. Its appeal lies in the dual drive of "the new sect master holding his position" and "rapid growth through the Southern Heavenly Gate shards." The early conflicts—maneuvering before the funeral tablet and the fifth senior brother's return—are written with tension, while the scope expands in the later stages to celestial ranks across the heavens. It suits readers who enjoy leveling power fantasy and sect intrigue; its weakness is that combat power and worldbuilding inflate continuously in the later stages, the narrative tends to sprawl, and characterization is relatively thin.Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers who enjoy Eastern fantasy leveling power fantasies
- Readers who prefer sect-master and sect-management themes
- Readers interested in myriad realms and eon-light shard trials
- Readers who like rebirth plus cheat-ability setups
Not a good fit for
- Readers who prefer nuanced characterization and emotional writing
- Readers who dislike late-stage power inflation and endlessly expanding scope
- Readers seeking hard logic or serious literature
Reading tips
- Read the first thirty chapters to feel the rhythm of the conflict around assuming power before the funeral tablet and the fifth senior brother's return, then decide whether to finish
- Treat the Southern Heavenly Gate trials as standalone dungeons and note the martial arts gains tied to each eon-light shard
- Combat power and worldbuilding inflate sharply later on; skim side trials and focus on the main line of seizing the position and reaching the top
