The book have a very interesting premise and the writing quality is superb. However, there are many things that I noticed about the novel that drags it down. The story developes in a very weird and confusing was that make it hard to follow or understand. Importent things and features are added in randomly without any explanation really on what they do and their importance to the overall story. The MCs thought process can be said to be cunning but also a bit one tracked minded. One example of this is when MC kills someone and obtains a new cultivation system, and decides to join that organization in the future to obtain the resources needed in the future when there is a million other things that needed to be done beforehand. The people's thought process in the novel just seem a bit out of place, with them doing things in certain ways to make the story work. This can be greatly attributed to the lack of info provided to us by the author. With random cultivation systems added and new things(treasures,seeds,currency ) introduced it just becomes confusing. The author tries to provide mystery and it is intriguing, but with the severe lack of knowledge regarding the current situation the mysterious aspects just becomes hazy and bring apon more confusion. The power system is also very complex, which is understandable in the world setting currently. The math in the novel is a but wonky but not too bad if u don't look into it too much. the power levels of individuals are all over the place with individuals killing people of way higher cultivation levels and being in places they shouldn't be. (one example is a heavenly god killing a dao emperor in the mortal realm, but is still a weakling in the ground scheme of things when dao emperors are the highest level Acheivalble). I have quite a dislike of the system which seems to be very out of place and provide random helpful things with little to none explanation. Maybe it's just me who find the book confusing with the lack of information, and others can decipher it fine. Overall the book is a decent read, and has a very interesting concept.

Hi, thank you for giving this comprehensive review. Though I do not agree with all you've said, you've raised several points where I could have done better. There's a lot of merit in your words and, if you're willing to, I'd like to engage with you and find out precisely some of the events that turned you off--so to speak (though I can guess some through your review). However, you've cited some points that are untrue. Even at the latest chapter, there is no Heavenly God capable of defeating, much less slaying Dao Emperors. Perhaps you were referring to Xerzan, who can only defeat Empyrean Monarchs, and for that is the number one talent of our current world. Another point is Dao Emperors being the highest level achievable, which is also untrue, that title belongs to Ancestors (as mentioned at the end of the Grand Cataclaclysm arc). I personally dislike stories where the mc is the only one (or one of the rare few across 2,000 chapters) able to fight above his cultivation level, so I like emphasize the value of the cultivator's Foundation, and show that it's more about the tools they possess. Regardless, I'm not sure what chapter you stopped at, but I'd enjoy hearing more on the topic.

Now that you have explained the situation regarding zerzon I believe it is my mistake regarding the fight. I probably didn't get the cultivation levels right. I cant really pinpoint any specific points I dislike everything was done well. It's just that some info was missing throughout the novel that made it a little hazy for me. I am at around chapter 80-90 currently, and am going to continue reading. It's pretty well written and has a intriguing premise. 😄
