On the northernmost snow plains of the Eastern Divine Continent, the youth Jun Tian and his younger sister scrape a living by digging buried treasures from beneath the ice for the Huang family. During one dig he obtains a mysterious nine-colored tile; it sinks into his mind and carries him to the Ancestral Hall in the darkness, where it opens the Ancestral Path—long deemed a dead end—helping him cultivate the Flesh Life Wheel. Thereafter, armed with ancient inheritances and a heaven-defying divine sword, Jun Tian maneuvers among the various factions, leading the human race against the myriad races, venturing into forbidden zones and exploring the Star Tombs, tracing the buried history of human blood and tears, and confronting the crisis of civilizational extinction brought by the universe's cycle of four seasons, rising step by step to the stature of Sovereign of the Age.Editor's review
A massive Eastern-fantasy power-progression novel. Its highlights are the twin system of the Ancestral Path versus the Present-World Path and the grand backdrop of civilizational cycles; the early arc of treasure-digging in the snow plains, humiliation in adversity, and awakening is gripping, and the battles are explosive. Suited to readers who crave long-haul leveling and conquest thrills. The flaws are clear too: villains are rather two-dimensional, the middle and later sections drag, and the ending is a bit rushed.Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers who enjoy long-form Eastern fantasy power progression
- Readers who savor rising from adversity and face-slapping conquest thrills
- Readers interested in humanity's rise and civilizational cycles
- Veteran readers patient enough for multi-million-word epics
Not a good fit for
- Readers who prefer short, tightly told stories
- Readers who dislike formulaic villains and repetitive face-slapping
Reading tips
- Pay close attention early to the nine-colored tile and the Ancestral Hall setup—it is the core of the whole cultivation system.
- Read by major volume arcs; the middle and later sections are long, so skim repetitive battle descriptions.
- Track the foreshadowing in humanity's history—it helps you grasp the main conflict of civilizational cycles later on.
