Xianxia/Xuanhuan General Discussion: Junior, you dare?!

Tried it and quit after I took it just a-bit seriously. The author is either trying to insult your intelligence or being a troll with how geniuses are hard to kill. Funnily the novel has a quote like this:
  • "The old man said constantly using brains to resolve problems will cause a person’s body to regress and their guts to shrink."

After 3k of chapters you get used to it. I mostly like the world building presented

The protag is Lin Fan right? He is just a part of
Lin Fan of The Strongest system
. Will probably reach High 1C at least.

Yeah, but while all the Lin Fan's in the the author's novels are related, some like, "I don't want to go against the Sky" ends without acknowledging the wider universe.

The Lin Fan in that novel didn't reach such a high level.

If I were to grade all the Lin Fans in Xinfeng's novels:
1. Strongest System
2. It's Lonely to be Invincible
3. I don't want to go against the Sky

I haven't finished the last 2 so I don't know how powerful the Lin Fans in both are.
4. Inadvertently Invincible
5. A Valiant Life
 
Does anyone know what level I read qiye is within the forum rules? I'm in the daily chapters but I have no idea

When God Emperor comes to an end, I will try to work on a profile for the work, Zhang Ruochen deserves it
 
I have started so many novels and dropped them a few chapters in. If I don't like the MC's personality, it is really hard for me to continue reading a story no matter how good it is overall.

I'm pretty sure everyone who is deep into the novels' rabbit hole like I am has already read it. I've been reading these stuff for like 5 or 6 years now so if something is popular, I've probably read it.

Right now I am in the MTL and bad translations novels phase.

I'm also at this stage, I read MTL as if it were the normal translation. Reading unknown novels is difficult companion
 
Read whatever you want, you'll have time to read other things.

MTL Dao is a demonic pathway but one we happly and needly comprehand for novels we find interesting either are dropped (Im looking at you webnovel/qidian), are not translated or we don't have patience for the translation but this usually take years, sigh.
 
I'm not gonna cross the line to read MTL stuff.
I've even been procrastinating reading fixed MTL of Sword of Dawn/Daybreak/etc for months now.

Same and I'm fairly picky with my MC's, too. Not a fan of romance as it gets in the way of the adventure I'm reading for so MC's overly focussed on that will make me drop the series, MC's who are dicks for literally no reason will, overly perverted (seperate from romance), too much of a doormat with no signs of ever growing out of it.
I just want someone who can put 1 foot infront of the other to reach a goal in a cool world without getting distracted and that's surprisingly hard. Especially the romance thing. Goddamn does china love wangsty overly dramatic romance.
 
It's hard to find a balance from the small pool of translated novels. You'll go in with one or more preference/s being met but probably settle for a-lot of things you don't like or you quit. For example, Sage Monarch has no romance but the series is hard to finish if you don't have indexing in mind, because of how bad it is.
 
Choosing novels is hard, I usually do the 200 chapter rule, if I like it I keep reading. But particularly the last "new" novel I finished was The Prodigies War.
 
Im-a-Courteous-and-Honorable-Man-Not-a-Devil
The novel is pretty great and the MC is strong and cunning as well. Plus it is one of the few novels to acknowledge the importance of martial arts to cultivators.

Ordinary martial artists in the Jianghu can only harness True Qi so they are still severely outmatched by even the weakest cultivators but pretty much all cultivators have a mortal martial arts background first.

Mortal Martial Arts Ranks
1. Martial Artist
2. Martial Scholar
3. Martial Master
4. Martial Grandmaster (Xiantian Grandmaster)
5. Martial Great Grandmaster

Cultivation - they use Spirit Qi rather than True Qi
1. Qi Refining/Aura Refining (9 levels)
2. Dao/Tao Foundation
3. Golden Core (Jindan) - Early-Stage, Middle-Stage, Late-Stage, Full-Stage
4. Nascent Soul (Yuanying) - Early Stage Yuanying, Astral Yuanying, Astral Projection, Spirit Projection
  • Yuanying Out of Body Stage
  • Thousand Miles Spirit Travel
  • Spirit Separation/Severance
5. Tribulation Transcendence/Crossing Calamity (3 Tribulations)
  • First Thunder/Lightning Tribulation
  • Second Fire Tribulation,
  • Third Wind Tribulation
True Immortal
6. Human Immortal
7. Earth Immortal
8. Heaven Immortal/Celestial Immortal
  • Ordinary Heaven Immortal
  • Heavenly Lord (3 Universe Spiritum Tribulations)
9. Empyrean
  • Life Tribulation

Author does give some solid scaling for Im-a-Courteous-and-Honorable-Man-Not-a-Devil

When MC is at a level comparable to True Immortal (1st stage), if the power in a drop of his blood is released, it can turn a mountain into ashes. On top of that, he can destroy the surface of a planet with a punch but he cannot destroy the entire planet. Basically True Immortals/Human Immortals are surface wipers.

This is definitely one of the best novels I have read in a while especially in the MC's mindset and morality. He is pretty much a superhero in a cultivator world considering he takes active steps to save people, his own sect as well as other sects, even when he travels to different worlds he does his best to save them. He basically doesn't tolerate evil at all or turn a blind eye to things. He is NOT a misogynist, he is NOT racist like 99% of CN MC's against other non-human races, he does NOT condone stuff like rape or slavery, etc. Of course he does not spare bad guys who have committed great evil but if its just ordinary sect members, he doesn't go around wiping out entire sects, he just takes out the higher echelons and the people who have harmed the innocent then reforms the rest. Like I am sure if this was another CN, the MC would just flatten the entire sect including thouands of random low level disciples who didn't even know what was going on.

Additionally, the novel doesn't have young masters or nonsense like that so that's a huge plus. Also while the MC is young, he is relatively powerful without being too overpowered. If anyone wants to read it, they can find it on
novelhi
with pretty good translations and 353 chapters so far (it is a new novel).

Leaving aside Ergen's Novels, which I personally find amazing are only drawn to the sentimental side of cultivation. In terms of large novels, more than 3k of chapters, the best developed I've read is undoubtedly God Emperor by Flying Fish, seriously if you have some time try reading it. Even she is still in release
 
Reading Dan Master Evil Sovereign
Cultivation Realms so far
1. Yuan Warrior
2. Yuan Master
3. Yuan General
4. Yuan Ancestor
5. Yuan King/Monarch - condense a spiritual soul
6. Primitive Emperor
7. Supremacy Realm
8. Saint Realm

It has a pretty cool evil MC too. He's not too evil to though so it fits my tastes. Plus MC is pretty powerful and resourceful even without being overpowered.

I take it back, he didn't ignore the Tenth World. You can put another 2k of chapters for the end of ED, between the Tenth world, the fight against "That person" and finally the final expedition I believe it should be more or less this
 
My new agenda:

1. The Ultimate Demon - This is pure gold and about Gu Cultivation. So far, I'd say it's the best novels I have read this year. 10/10. Plus the translations on Novelhi are pretty good.

2. My Body is Too Resilient, It can Cultivate its own Techniques - Pretty good but the tranlations aren't that good. Till this day I still don't know the different levels that well due to poor tranlations of the power system. Only 165 chapters out so far but an overall great story.
 
Reposting from the other thread:

The Ultimate Demon

So far (chapter 357), the verse caps at around mountain level physically but the sheer number of reality warping hax is insane.

I'd say almost 50% of Gu and named characters have some sort of insane hax. Stuff like absolute mind control, reading people's minds just from wine, using the manifestation of rumors to kill, creating an armor out of the hate you receive from others, bypassing all defences by making reality into illusion and vice versa, using love to manifest armor, countless spatial and dimension creation abilities that even fodder have, etc.

It is a truly crazy verse.

Any random named character or even fodder that appears might have some crazy hax ability.

Seems like its based on Reverend Insanity.
Click to expand...
Reverend Insanity didn't invent Gu Cultivation. It's just the most famous one with it.

The Novel itself is nothing like Reverend Insanity. Plus I'd say the Gu Cultivation in this novel is even deeper.

Also MC isn't a villain or anything like that.
 
The Ultimate Demon

As for Cultivation of both Gu Masters and Gu, it is divided into:
1. White Rank
2. Bronze Rank
3. Silver Rank
4. Gold Rank
5. Legend Rank
6. Epic? Rank (unconfirmed)

Gu also have unique abilities when they level up called "Special Effects". On top of that, if a person can enforce their will on the Gu, they awaken a "Divine Ability".

At the Legend Rank, Gu Masters can create their own world or dimension and because of that the laws of heaven and earth don't tolerate them. If they use power above Gold Rank 10, a calamity or tribulation will descend.
 
So i've been skimming through Sage That Transcended Samsara, Is this enough for 1-A?
Meng Qi did not hesitate to absorb the Zhen Yi Legacy after he grabbed ahold of the Kai Tian Seal.

There was no booming sounds across the air this time and his head didn't feel like it was going to explode. Instead, the scene in front of him instantly darkened. There were no colors, no sound, no directions, and no concept of time. It was only a point in space that allowed one to discern what was near or far. Everything congregated to this one indescribable point where nothing seemed logical.

Perhaps others in the same situation as Meng Qi would panic or lose their minds over what in the world was happening. However, Meng Qi trained the "Premier Golden Stamp" and the "Arts of Eight-Nine" where the Indestructible Statue of Yuan Shi of forms and other items were similar to it. He could confirm his previous lifetime experiences at an earlier stage and realize that he was now in a singularity in the whole universe. It was the genuine body of Yuan Shi!

Right at that moment, an indescribable beam of light shot out, causing the singularity to expand. An irony formed as the two opposites suddenly intertwined. The past and future was the present while directions did not exist.

At the same time, the beam of light slowly turned into a banner-like and axe-like structure that struck forward. The singularity exploded outwards, causing a gush of light to rush out and stain the sky. An unforeseen explosion that seemed to surpass anything in history occurred as direction formed, space existed, and ancient thoughts started to beat. However, everything was blurry and time seemed to exist occasionally. The past, present, and future split up to become a river of time where the river mouth was the very beginning of everything. Yet, the river seemed to flow without direction and heading for nowhere.

After the big bang, a wave-like shock force swept the space as ocean spray and bubbles would splash around. Every ocean splash and every bubble was a universe and a heaven and earth respectively. However, they would suddenly disappear and perish and yet, suddenly form and destroy again. It was an endless cycle.

Without any sense of time the big explosion died down and Yin Yang appeared. The energy that was created turned into the nine heavens and burrowed through the ground. At the same time, the corresponding ground, fire, water, and wind elements were formed.

This process where the ground, fire, water, and wind elements were formed destroyed the empty space where it occurred. Suddenly, a deadly peace ensued as one by one, universes and galaxies appeared in all directions. The same story of ground, fire, water, and wind elements occurred in every universe until the four divisions turned into galaxies and land. As stars linked together to form galaxies, the Milky Way formed a silver river in space. The ground stretched out boundlessly while the sky transformed to a firmament.
After holding the "Heavenly Seal" in his left hand, Meng Qi drew the true meaning of the inheritance at the first time.
There was no illusory roar, no brain explosion, his eyes suddenly became dim, no color, no sound, no up and down, no front and back, no past, no present, no future, only a point, a point that contains infinite distance and infinite near, a point that contains all possibilities, a point that is difficult to describe accurately with words, a point that cannot be judged with logical thinking.
If it were someone else, he might be alarmed or confused, not understanding what this point is, but Meng Qi himself cultivates the "Golden Chapter of the Origin" plus the "Xuan Gong", and his Dharma phase is similar to this immortal origin phase, and when he initially determined the path, he even referred to his previous life's knowledge, so he naturally understood that it is a singularity, a multifaceted point. Naturally, he understood that it was a singularity, the singularity of the multiverse, the true body of the First Heavenly Father.
At that moment, an indescribable light burst out, and the singularity expanded, lowering abruptly from its highest level of state, which was completely illogical and indescribable in words, to become a combination of contradictions, past, present, and future, with no distinction between top and bottom, front and back.
The light twisted and changed, seeming to become an axe or an ancient streamer, it cut forward, the singularity cracked open, endless light erupted, energy poured out, there was a big explosion that the legendary powers could not imagine, the concept of top, bottom, front, back, left and right appeared, the void existed, the oldest "mind" pulsed, but unusually blurred, sometimes unpredictable, the past, the present and the future are also divided, and diffused into a long, shimmering river of time and light, the source through the beginning, do not know where to flow.
The big bang is like the waves of the sea, there are waves and bubbles appear, each wave, each bubble is a universe and a heaven and earth, but they died, born and died, extinguished and born again.
I do not know how long it took. The big bang subsided a little, the yin and yang divided, the clear air floated up, condensing into the nine heavens, the turbid air sank, interpreting the nine ghosts, they are relative to the earth, fire, wind and water ravaging parts everywhere.
Earth, fire, wind, and water are rampant, destruction shrouded in the void, and suddenly, they inexplicably calm down. The concept of up and down, front and back, left and right, appeared completely, and each universe was interpreting the same story of earth, fire, wind and water, until the four elephants condensed a star or a piece of earth, stars linked into galaxies, galaxies evolved into the Milky Way, and the earth spread infinitely, the sky really became the firmament.

左手握住“开天印”后，孟奇第一时间便汲取了真意传承。
没有虚幻的轰鸣之声，也没有大脑一炸的感觉，他眼前忽然变得昏暗，没有颜色，没有声音，没有上下前后左右，也没有过去现在未来，只有一个点，包含无穷远和无穷近，蕴藏着所有可能的一个点，难以用语言准确描述的一个点，无法用逻辑思维判断的一个点。
换做别人，或许会惊慌，或许会失措，不明白这个点是何物，但孟奇自身修炼的便是“元始金章”加“玄功”，法相乃类似此物的不灭元始相，初步确定道路时更参照了上辈子的见识，自然明白它是奇点，多元宇宙的奇点，元始天尊的真身
就在这时，一道无法形容的光芒迸发，奇点随之膨胀，从完全不合逻辑、不能用语言描述的最高层次状态陡然降低，成为矛盾的结合体，过去现在未来同在，上下前后左右不分。
光芒扭曲变化，似乎成为了一把斧头或一面古幡，它往前一斩，奇点霍然裂开，无穷无尽的光芒喷薄而出，能量轰然倾泻，发生了让传说大能都难以想象的大爆炸，上下前后左右的概念出现了，虚空存在了，最古老的“心念”跳动了，但异常模糊，时有时无，过去现在未来也分界了，衍化成一条波光粼粼的时 光长河，源头贯通最初，不知流向何方。
大爆炸仿佛波浪汹涌的大海，内中有浪花出现，也有气泡出现，每一朵浪花，每一个气泡皆是一重宇宙和一方天地，但它们随之消亡，生了又灭，灭了又生。
不知过了多久。大爆炸稍微平息了一点，阴阳分化，清气上浮，凝成九重天，浊气下沉，演绎出九幽，它们相对地火风水肆掠的部分无处不在。
地火风水肆掠，毁灭笼罩在虚空，忽然，它们莫名平息。一重重宇宙随之诞生，上下前后左右的概念彻底出现，而每一重宇宙内都在演绎相同的地火风水故事，直到四象凝出了一个个恒星或一片片大地，恒星连成星系，星系演化银河，大地则无限蔓延，天空真做苍穹。

Would it be enough if the "void" here means a spatial dimension as in Yuan Shi existed and the one that created the Spatial & Temporal Dimension(s)?

From what i found it seems like there's a 2-A multiverse then a (or multiple?) higher dimension(s) so probably atleast 6+2D and peeps like Yuan Shi and Buddha exist outside of it

The cultivation realm is called the Other Shore/Paramita/Nirvana to achieve it someone needs to "be free from the sea of bitterness and jump out of the river of time"
If i'm not wrong from what i've read the sea of bitterness is the spatial dimension(s) while the river of time is the temporal dimension(s)

Can't really judge anything from that alone. It would be best if you made a blog to simplify the cosmology and then posted it for people to look at.

maybe lol, the reason why i dropped the novel years ago is because of the translation (only read like maybe 200-300 chapters), the translation is bad to sometimes really bad, and the novel isn't easy to MTL because of the more flowery language, at least compared to cuttlefish other novels like Lord of Mysteries and Throne of Magical Arcana, and with more chinese vocab
