Thanks for chapter

I think you forgot that there was humanpath cultivator in HC, also Fang Yuan managed to get dreams of human path practitioners.

Oh no bro, imagine Star Constellation, but with Pillar men's body.

Oh no bro, total genderswap of venerables is approaching, I can feel it.

Hello there my fellow brothers, who seek to prolong and expand their journey in the Gu World. 1. Let's start with 'Writing Quality'. This aspect of the story is done really well. Style of writing is similar to RI and in my opinion it's a great advantage of this fic, since you can feel that progression of story takes place in the same cold, unforgiving and so familiar to us world of RI. Though it must be said, tha author didn't just tried to imitate Gu Zhen Ren's style, but added his own touch to it. (Yes, there were few moments in the story, which maybe could have been done better, but it doesn't really affect whole work + It's not very critical). 2. To be short about updates: they're on time and stable. 3. Frankly speaking, 37 chapters is miniscule amount of content (drop in ocean to be exact), if we want to draw accurate and not shallow conclusion. But considering a tempo of events happening along the way, I'll allow myself to say that development of a story is great. 4. I think design of characters is done pretty good, but when again to truly see their depth and make final say about them, we'd need to wait a liitle bit more, still this part of the story is solid and actions of characters are logical and don't contradict with their personalities. 5. World buiding is done well, even considering pace of the story, style of writing allows author to create a beautiful background along with a complicated polical situation within a clan. In the end, I want to say: Good job! The fic isn't stupidly made and story has enougth potential to truly bloom and to become amazing tale to read and enjoy. Really enjoyed this story so far and I'll will be waiting for more.

I think you misunderstood me, you see, when I brought about example of SS, I didn't mean his food-soul path methods to gain attainments, I meant his way of ascending ninth rank. It wasn't natural, it was forced and resulted (in cope of trying to create killing path) in him going mad (even if only temporarily).

Okey, that is really big brain move here. Considering that heavenly tribulation soon will be here, outcome will definetely be interesting

Logical move from immortal

Interesting chapter, thanks. Perception of human path by mc is kinda strange ngl, every path can be forced and Spectral soul is a brilliant example for that, but well, mc doesn't know special circumstances of SS and requirements of ascending rank 9. But imo it's still kinda strange that his view wasn't broadened by his reincarnation, even though fate gu was damaged, he used human path methods to counter heaven's ones (fate gu) to do impossible and returned to life and that shows: all laws/arrangements have flaws and exceptions. 'Man is the spirit of all livings beings' after all, so nothing impossible.

I'm afraid heaven path would be needed for this feat as well or maybe not

If I remember correctly, tatoos killer moves do in fact require primodial essence (small amount), only after attaining supreme-grandmaster attainment in path can you make killer moves function without essence (infinitely)

Rank B is an investment? Even in cope of abundant human qi, it is still too much, imo to involve yourself and have burden of sharing resourses

Probably should have killed him as well, less burden on resources. Well, it is confirmed, he isn't a Fang Yuan. Not everyone can have true demon heart.

bruh

Same thoughts, Self, perseverence, hope (Legends of Ren zu) and other human path tend to form within a human body. And considering Legends of Ren zu is human path profundity( if i remember correctly), it's very likely your idea is right

Okay, so basically he partially starting to touch (or at least his assumption touch) profundity of refining path (killer moves are incomplete gu recipes, same applies to dao domains). But then again he isn't fully correct about 'killer moves' of desolate/ancient/immemorial beasts, according to my understanding beasts to need gu to form killer moves, at least not 'natural'

Wait..he was this poor, not having even a horse to pull his cart.

Knowning a usual attitude clans and even more superclans have regarding mortals, it seems aftermath of tribulation was pretty horrible (not considering broken formation and grotto-heaven)

Well.. no wonder this 'merchant' was this poor.

Nice. The first death on a journey.
