Intro to Reverend Insanity (1)

Before writing insights, let's briefly introduce the content of the novel:

Plot:

The protagonist- Gu Yue Fang Yuan. He traveled from the earth to the Gu world, but he did not have the heaven-defying aptitude like most other traversers, and embarked on the bohemian road of immortality cultivation. He has poor aptitude, was squeezed out by his family, and left his hometown to run around. Even his survival was a problem. He survived for five hundred years through the lifespan he obtained. The first three hundred years have been a hard life. He has gone through all kinds of hardships in the world. The chance has changed his aptitude, and he has cultivated to Rank 6 only. Finally, under the layout of Heaven, Spring Autumn Cicada was refined, he was seriously injured, and then immediately betrayed by his subordinates, and the news was leaked. He was forced to a desperate situation by the righteous coalition forces, and had to use Spring Autumn Cicada and went back to the time in his first village where he first came to the Gu world a five hundred years ago. The novel is about the rebirth of a demon, who has gone through hardships and pursued immortality.

Cultivation system and general world view:

Within Gu world, the cultivation system is very simple compared to other novels, and there is no magic weapon or something. Cultivation is divided into three aspects: Primeval Essence (Xian Yuan), Gu worms, Dao Marks, these three are the major aspects

1. Primeval Essence (Xian Yuan): It is useless by itself, its only function is to mobilize Gu worms. In other words, if most low-level Gu masters do not have Gu worms, then no amount of Primeval Essence is useful. The fighting power is similar to that of mortals. Almost, that is to say, most of the low-level Gu Masters are Crispy Masters [laughs]. At the same time, Primeval Essence (Xian yuan) is also the standard for planning levels. The level of Gu cultivation is divided into rank one to rank nine: rank one rank five is a mortal Gu master, rank six to rank eight is a Gu Immortal, rank nine is a Gu Venerable.

2. Gu worms: Gu worms are not limited to those on the earth that are used for poisoning and curing diseases. The gu worms in "Reverend Insanity" are the carriers of the Dao fragments. There are many types and genres. Different Gu worms have different functions. Spring Autumn Cicada is used for rebirth, the launching of the moon blade by the moonlight gu, the refinement of primeval essence by the liquor worm, the augmented body by the White Boar gu, the good luck of the Dog Shit Luck Gu... basically, as long as you can think of the effect, As long as you don't get too ridiculous, you basically have them.

3. Dao marks: It is said that most low-level Gu masters do not have gu worms, and their combat power is similar to that of mortals, which refers to most of them, and this small part is usually the cause of Dao marks. Dao marks are equivalent to blessing, amplifying Gu worms and Gu masters themselves. The more Dao Marks a Gu Master has, the better the Gu worm effect of the corresponding genre, and at the same time, it will also gain an increase. However, when Dao Marks are not large in scale, most of them do not increase their own high, unless it is Strength path or Soul path Dao Marks and the like. There are too few Dao marks on low-level Gu masters, and there are fewer Gu Masters who choose strength path, soul path and other genres, so they are similar to mortals.
