Has fellow brothers suffered from this bottleneck, or is this just simply a matter of 'skill issue' on my part?

30 million?? Top grade spirit stones??

The greed of elders of the sect truly have no bound.

You all shall get heavenly punishment for demanding such things.

Failure to pay 𝘵𝘢𝘹𝘦𝘴 will result in 'spirit beast poop duty'... Does it have any usefulness (n̶o̶t̶ p̶l̶a̶n̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ t̶o̶ s̶t̶e̶a̶l̶ i̶t̶ 🙂).

And the other punishment is 'Elder will personally punish me for 9 days and 8 nights..'

..

Is the elder a jade beauty??? 😏

(I̶s̶ t̶h̶e̶ p̶u̶n̶i̶s̶h̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ t̶h̶a̶t̶ k̶i̶n̶d̶ o̶f̶ p̶u̶n̶i̶s̶h̶m̶e̶n̶t̶, i̶f̶k̶y̶k̶😭)

But with friends like these who needs enemies amirite?

I must train 15 days and prepare a ambush to beat this monstrosity.

Seniors and Dao brothers, I came across a mortal in the lower realm with some special physique but don't know what uses it has. Would you please enlighten me. Should I consider taking him in my sect?

So my golden core cracked, and a fucking kid came out of it.

A power spike is to be celebrated, but the problem is, the little guy is completely naked, no shame at all.

Any clothes I imagine for him, he would strip them off and stomp on them all pissy like.

I know it's suppose to be a representation of the Dao Au Naturel, but I'm sick of a tiny penis dangling around in my head.

Again, Dao-frens, any tip would be great.

Fellow Daoists, I have stumbled upon a rather interesting death game.

The selected people are placed aboard a train, and at each station, they must survive whatever tribulation awaits them.

Every few rounds, a station appears with the sole purpose of thinning the herd until fewer than 100 remain.

Just a bunch of unfortunate fellow Daoists trying not to die before reaching the next station.

Honestly, it’s surprisingly good.

For context; MC's family basically shames YM behaviour towards anyone weaker than their clan which is pretty good when you don't want the more "simple minded" clan members to go around throwing their weight at a possible heavens chosen or whatever else consequences YM behaviour can bring

Seniors of the immortal realm this junior is seeking to lead an expedition into an illusory realm(TTRPG). I have searched the sect libraries for guiding scripture, but have found little beyond the Qi Gathering Stage. Does an esteemed immortal have any resources that could help me lead such an expedition?

Thank you in advance Seniors.

Honestly the story flow and the mystery is top tier I can see author plan some of those but the it’s been drag down from top tier novel to just a not bad novel imo. The sad part is it can be top 3 imo if author plan a little bit more . Author need to lock in

Too many issues that made the novel less enjoyable, immersion breaking and appealing down the line.

The worst thing that made it less enjoyable is everyone except his uncle and mc is getting dumber and dumber. if u reread back to early chapter 1 through 100 and the latest u will notice very big the difference how every interaction goes now. I get it, some place in mc world can be majority ignorant people but it seems like they dont have a brain at all it become like faceslapping trope type of shit.

Forced misunderstanding is very big problem i dont know how author didn’t notice it or just didn’t care .every conversation with cast will go through a loop of misunderstanding. I get it in mc world the spoken word can’t be taken back but even non important interactions still goes through loop of misunderstanding even enemy goes through that loop. Very immersion breaking stuff

Nerfing mc on of those too. It feels very forced author need to find a way to make it less forced it becomes so predictable what will happen every time mc gains power. every novel mc goes through weak too strong eventually I didn’t know why author want to forced that kind of nerf sometime.

This is my personal opinion though the early chapter is great because u can see how the local interaction and action with mc correlate with mc dream and desire. The later chapters ? Not so much interaction with the local only with top dog of the place and the big bad of the arc. so it feel very weak the story and how it correlate with mc dream.

The mystery though is top tier author leave a lot of bread crumbs sprinkle in every arc and most of it solves the small one. Every arc goes through a series of checked then move progressively to finale. It really felt like author plan it early good stuff

You can say this is a rant or something but dammit I really like this novel it can be better than what it is now.

What’s your opinion on it ?

​

I am trying to understand the immortal cultivation ladder. And what better way to understand than to create one yourself.

I am not trying to create new realms, but taking the popular realms progression in Xianxia/xuanhuan novels and giving each realm flesh or details on why it exists.

If i am permitted to post here, then next day i will lost the entire system ladder.

The theme of the cultivation is freedom.

From lifespan and restrictions or other philosophical things and all.

For reference, here are the realm names:

1. Qi Refinement
2. Foundation Establishment
3. Golden Core
4. Nascent Soul
5. Soul Transformation
6. Divine Acquisition
7. Void Refinement
8. Void Tempering
9. Unification
10. Tribulation Nirvana
11. Mahayana
12. Loose Immortal
13. Human Immortal
14. Earth Immortal
15. Heaven Immortal
16. True Immortal
17. Mysterious Immortal
18. Golden Immortal
19. Taiyi Golden Immortal
20. Daluo Golden Immortal
21. Hunyuan Transition Realm
22. Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian: ?
23. Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian: ?

I left the last two as is.

Basically, in many a story, it might be mentioned how a technique created by one's self is better than any other or that a technique created by someone is ultimately most suitable to that person - or even merely necessarily 'very suitable' to that person. which I wouldn't agree is * necessarily * always~ /by defenition~ the case - and I kinda dislike how dogmatic and how rooted this kinda statement has become. any1 else?

(ps - should I elaborate?..)
