At that time, I read a novel because of the limited number of episodes. Then, I heard about the "Xyrin Three Divisions", so I went to read "Xyrin Empire". The experience of reading first-person novels was quite novel. I wasn't used to it at first, but later on, it was like opening the door to a new world. I've never been too interested in science fiction. Other than "Three-Body Problem", Toto's books had shown me a new way of writing science fiction. The humorous and relaxed words covered up the high threshold of science fiction itself. It was not limited by difficult words and could be read smoothly and happily. The previous books were slow to get started and had a bit of a slow plot. However,"Deep Sea Ember" was the first to gain the upper hand. The writing was flowing and the foreshadowing was coherent. Compared to the previous books that slowly explored the world and unfolded the setting, the new book was more in line with the fast pace of the current online novels. In my opinion, it was an improvement without losing its original style! Support Distant Pupil! "Cultivation in the Chaos of the Demonic Martial World". Keyword: [Heaven Crossing],[Carefree Dao],[Decisive Killing] Ranking index: [A recommendation of the same kind: I, an immortal cultivator in my twilight years, will live forever.] Reading Notes: Wenchao's products were definitely of high quality. The main world cultivated, while the sub-world cultivated blood and martial arts. It was similar to the main world's body cultivation. They used the flesh and blood of demons and devils to make tonics to nourish themselves. The resources of the two worlds could be transferred and used. Although there were only two worlds at the moment, according to Wenchao's style, it would definitely turn to the heavens in the later stages. It was important to note that there were many debuffs on the main character in the early stages. When he entered the sub-world, he was inferior to others. When he reached the late stage of the foundation establishment stage, he failed to break through. If he read too many genius books, then this book's impression was not bad. Moreover, unlike the previous books, there was a female protagonist plot in the early stages. Words of recommendation: Fang Xi wore it, and it was the second time! In the cultivation world, I was a yes-man, but in the Otherworld, I was a punching bag! "Who told him to cultivate!" "Who told him to cultivate!" It was a novel that made people laugh out loud. The author used humorous language and unique writing techniques to create a different world of cultivation. After the protagonist of the story, Lu Yang, joined Dao Seeking Sect, he began a series of ridiculous immortal cultivation journey. From the discussion with his senior sister about how to cheat, to the fact that he and his three senior brothers accepted the Demon Sect's commission to infiltrate their sect as spies, to the accidental opening of the Internet Celebrity Barbecue Restaurant, Lu Yang's path of cultivation was full of jokes and accidents. The author's writing style was humorous and the plot design was reasonable, making people laugh. This novel was not only a cultivation novel, but also a work that made people happy. It was worth reading. You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.
