I swear-- this is the reason why I don't read urban novels anymore (also, Young master, fiancee, rich old man...) In the first chapters, when he met a government official of "Dragon Country", I was already frowning hard when he suddenly, for no reason, proposed to kill every single expert outside of "Dragon Country". Ok. Wow. That's harsh. He knows nothing of this world, he just became an immortal (first five chapters) and he IMMEDIATELY wants to go on a power-trip. That, kids, is why power corrupts... or stupidity maybe. Why would someone even bother to translate something like this? It goes against common-sense since foreigners are bound to read it. And don't get me wrong, there is a difference between nationalism and xenophobia. In this case the author didn't even bother to hide it. The first country he attacks is "Ninja Country" (Ok, I burst out laughing while writing this!), The second is Bang-ji country (Korea), Eagle Country... Well, you get it. They're all represented as despicable, backstabbing countries while Dragon Country, said to be the former strongest country, helped weak countries and bla bla... Other than that, the order of chapters is wrong in ch.37, and there are numerous inconsistencies: Ex.1 at the start of the story Young Master template 2 mocks MC for coming from a poor family and emphasizes that all their expectations are on him and if he fails they will be disappointed. Middle of the story: MC starts whining about being an orphan and never feeling loved because a girl helped him out of kindness. ex.2 The start was so confusing. MC gets reincarnated into a Reincarnator tower by REINCARNATING into the body of a soon-to-be Reincarnator. Just what? Why? Wait, I realised that since it's so confusing the first point might make sense. But still, there was no need to make it so convoluted since Reincarnators' society seems to be extremely advanced and there is no reason for him to take a healthy, genius-level reincarnator. He adapts too fast and seems to know everything for no reason. Despite putting 0 effort to become a Earth Immortal (level cap of the world), as soon as he reaches the peak of his realm he creates a new realm because... because he can. Dunno why. He said some bull about knowing there are higher levels because he watched Sun Wukong on TV [img=faceslap]. Translation is bad, with the names of the realm changing mid-chapters, characters are forgettable, the writing too simple minded.

Yep, something like that (I don't know if you reached the currently translated chapters, so I'll be vague). Two years ago I couldn't have known though.

I'm pretty sure Gu Zhen Ren is a pretty well-learned person himself, he probably studied a lot of poems and ancient Chinese/Daoism culture to write this novel. I can honestly picture him remembering/creating some poems like these as if they are nothing. I mean, he must have an amazing memory or IQ, as I still have to find a flaw in the world-building or something that he's forgotten after re-reading RI two or three times, it's crazy considering the story is over 2000 chapters.

I like how there are so many recurring characters, as even if they're not very important for the current events, It shows how much the author cares about world-building.

I'm 100% sure he needs an immortal aperture. Reason is simple; when he captured Rank 8 Xia Cha from Souther Border, he stole her aperture/grotto heaven and she lost everything, becoming a mortal again. If she still had rank 8 dao marks on her body, she would instantly die as mortals don't have resistance against dao marks, not to mention thousands of them. Plus, he's being annexing apertures the whole time. When did he use an immortal's body to gain dao marks?

But he can't gain dao marks if he doesn't annex their apertures.

You're forgetting that Heavenly Court members only have Phantom Apertures, not real ones.

Look up Chinese Qilin, I think that's what the translator meant.

lool

Nice story

Yep. 3rd or 4th time I'm rereading this. The first 2 books are amazing, but afterward, it gets even better lol Probably the best Chinese cultivation novel of all time!

I know I'm late, but this is objectively better than Supreme Magus. lol.

Hail the bird poop!

You know what? HAIL! HAIL!
