Amid flight and upheaval, Liu Yu encounters cultivators and enters the Xuanxing Sect, gradually advancing his cultivation. He then lives through the invasion of the blood clan, the eastward coming of the Church, and conflicts with Western forces such as the Blood Emperor and the Dark Demon Dragon; he is drawn into a melee between Eastern and Western cultivators, finally passes the immortal tribulation with a sacred artifact, becomes a loose immortal, ends the chaos, marries Lü Feiyan and the sisters Xingluo and Xingyue, and Earth returns to a world of cultivation.

Editor's review

This is a typical urban-to-cultivation wish-fulfillment novel: it opens with a good Samaritan killing someone and fleeing, then immediately brings heavenly mutation and a mysterious black shadow, with tight pacing and dense hooks. The appeal lies in the melee of modern background with cultivation, the blood clan, and the Church, and the protagonist leveling up all the way to become a ruler. Suited to readers who want fast-paced leveling and apocalyptic-mutation imagination. The flaws are obvious too: the opening motive is somewhat cruel, emotional handling is rough, the late multi-faction war has tangled threads, the ending relies on the protagonist's sudden power-up, and the details don't bear scrutiny.

Reading tips

  1. Read the first twenty chapters to confirm whether you can accept the dark, fugitive tone of the opening
  2. Note the foreshadowing in the black shadow's interactions with Liu Yu; it relates to a key late-stage setting
  3. There are many factions in the mid-to-late book; note the relationships among the blood clan, the Church, and Eastern immortals and demons to avoid confusion
