A great story with an interesting premise while having a plus of a fast paced storytelling like our MC, the MC doesn't go around offending everyone he comes across, nor does every girl falls in love with him, the author used a great tool to make his story engaging and keep you interested, the story beings with our Cliche'd trash MC outcast-ed in the family, there is a good uncle, evil elder, snobbish aunts, etc which is pretty generic in CN now-a-days. But the story takes a turn when the MC's cheat is introduced, he needs to give up a large part of his life and his own personality to gain only the potential of power, not the power itself. He still needs to work hard and climb the ladders of those in power. THe author has taken the usual cliche's of CN's and turned them over their head, as each power is fleshed out and described properly(Through science), there is no gaining understanding of mountain and using its image to fight, nor does it contain paintings with immortals souls in it. It is outright close combat fights at superhuman levels, which is pretty exhilarating and often times ends faster than most of the fights when compared to other novels(which take in the least 3 chapters to conclude). The world is filled with different characters with their own aspirations and goals that they want to achieve, some try to befriend Mc and use him and some are trying to force him to obey him, the MC always strives for more profit and prone to tilt toward the side that gives him more resources. There are people saying that the MC creates a Hero kind of personality, but that is wrong, I can't go into spoiler territory, but the MC only eliminates those he deems evil(Even if they are good to others doesn't matter to him) and will not go out to help out the weak and poor nor will he cry over his death, instead he welcomes it so that he may get more angry and progress in his cultivation(He is one f@cked up MC), while he kills those who killed the weak and poor.

LIKELiked your summary. But what's with the shot at Painting of the Nine Immortals. Cliches everywhere but I enjoy it.

Ah!! never read it(read the synopsis and reviews only)!! but just thought to give it as an example to differentiate it from other Xuanhua and Xianxia novel. As you may not know, but using painting as a weapon is used a lot of times in Xianxia,(In ISSTH a painting houses a mega powerhouse named Slaughter(Wang Lin-The Renegade Immortal's clone)

Yeah there isn't!! this bastard himself flies at 20x speed of sound with his titanic body to obliterate each and every one in the premise!!
Nobleran:There ins't flying swords with a mountain image that flies at 3000km/milisecond but need 5 chapters to say he attacked?! O.o i will try thx!
