I'm giving up on this story improving in the late 400s (476 I think) and I'll say with a bit of bitterness that the sunk cost kept me reading much longer than curiosity or continued interest. The passive system in the earlier chapters is, while not original, it was not overpowered. There was potential for the system to develop and at points the system was expanded upon but at several turns those developments were abandoned entirely. By later chapters, drawing is arbitrary- there are detailed chapters of MC analyzing their current build, pointing out where the system has yet to completely break with the world building only for the system to give a handout at that exact moment... By then the MC is already jumping realms and tanking would-be threats so the introduction of more passive skills at that point is just padding and fluff. A number of story threads get abandoned early that, in my personal opinion, would have been more entertaining to read than a repeat of new city where everyone is stronger and geniuses scoff at MCs powerlevel. MC character development is something like going from just trying to survive, to planning to live long enough for the system to produce hundreds of skills, to a sense of self-awareness that their situation is constant danger and death is real possibility (if you allow a suspension of disbelief) and then finally having a ridiculous extra life and throwing caution to the wind. Highly disappointed in a work of fiction that shows a bit of self-awareness regarding common tropes in this sort of cultivation-based world building but still follows the template/formula and lets whatever originality it had at the start completely collapse on itself.

translation quality is good, the premises is good but the concept of Tri gu sect rule is not gonna work. Even in demonic sect that kind of rule only make their demise faster (unless the sect leader have golden finger). I know the author wanted to use the concept of raising Gu in a pot as sect rule but it just not gonna work with human. Ok say that the higher up did not care about outer disciples at all, that inner disciples can send their people to plunder the sect resources like meat Gu food and than when the Quota is not reached the higher up will punish all the outer disciples(idk maybe kill them and take they Gu to eat or something) that is pure stupidity. Say that if they do that, than sect outer disciples will become less and inturn make the new inner disciple lesser, this will cause a gap in their sect generation compare to other a lil smart(not a lot just a lil bit smart) that have rule slightly good rule to prevent their sect resources go to other place(I.e sell to outside market to fill some people pockets), the said Tri-Gu sect gonna suffer a great lost if their sect enter a war with other sect because of generations gap. That still did not count when they Sect fight with Gu nemesis(phoenix,fire type cultivator) as I remember the author keep saying this is dog eat dog kind of world, it will make more so for other sect to target Tri-Gu sect. That if, if the author care about logic at all. But if He(or she) did not, than... just ignore all my comments above☝🏼🙅🏼🙈

A path to immortality thus unfolded before Gu An's eyes! In order to cultivate in peace, Gu An chose to become a Servant Disciple of the Supreme Sect, planting medicinal herbs daily to cultivate by seizing the life span of these herbs. Through the evolution of life span, his Basic Skill constantly evolved, deducing from Basic Sorcery to reach Divine Skills that connected to heaven! Eras changed, constellations shifted, and the Mortal World transformed vastly. Gradually, legends of immortals emerged in the Mortal World. The immortal known as Gu An expended half of his life span, helping his Cultivation Level break through the limits of the Immortal Path and achieving the realm of a Saint, soaring above the heavenly laws. However, one day, a white-robed old man with a saintly presence came to visit Gu An. "I am Xuan Qing from the Heavenly Stars above, appointed by the Heavenly Emperor Tai Hao. Hearing of Daoist Friend's numerous benevolent deeds in the Mortal World and your countless rescues of the living beings here, the merits are immeasurable. Thus, I have been dispatched from the Lower Realm to invite Daoist Friend to join the ranks of the immortals, to take up an immortal office, the Divine Steed Celestial Official." "May I ask what the duties of the Divine Steed Celestial Official are?" "In the Heavenly Court, there are divine steeds that can traverse earth and heaven and penetrate Yin Yang. The Divine Steed Celestial Official is responsible for looking after and feeding these divine steeds." Huh? Taking care of horses? Groom?!
