This story defies the heavens with its humor. I seriously have laughed in real life more times than I can count while reading this. A very lighthearted cultivation story, with a shameless MC, a shameless master, a righteous sect that is actually righteous. It's all awesome, I cannot recommend this enough to those who like humorous stories.

One of two truly original CN stories I'm aware of. It absolutely should be read once you are jaded veteran, to give you that extra bit of freshness. CNs are highy repetitive, riddled with plot holes and sloppy filler spouting on deadline. Once you truly feel that irritiation of reading same plot devices for nth time, it's time for Wang Lu, cultivator whose "cheat" actually interferes with cultivation, so he uses his brain intead of his fists. Watch him troll ******ton daoists till they don't know their own names.

This is one of the 4 novels I read in this site.This novel is super awesome and I am really enjoying reading this.It gives me some good laugh and I am really happy that it got translated by a good translator.

I don't always write reviews, but when I do, it's either because the novel is really good, or really bad. Despite all the positive reviews, in my opinion, this belongs in the latter. First of all, the positive. The world background is unique, and certainly above average. The relationship between characters is decent. Now, the bad things. The most important thing, the humor. While I did chuckled once in awhile, for the most part, it's just painful to read. The author tried too hard to force the comedy. The parts where it should be serious, the author still tried to add humor. All the Elders and Sect Leader acts like a bunch of 12 yearsold. There are certain situations where comedy comes from surprise or the suddenness of the situation. However, the way this novel is written completely take away the surprise part and ruin the humor. Most importantly, I don't know if it's the translator or the author, but using vulgarities to force the humor is just immature. Conversations between characters are completely devoid of witticism. Characters swore and cursed at each other is just...tasteless. Once in a blue moon, it sort of worked, but the rest of the time, it's just overdone and became vulgar instead. Sometimes, the vulgarities even ruined the part where it's actually funny. Let me give you an example, the MC were talking with a girl about how bad his Master was. The conversation were going just fine, then he dropped a sentence along the line "you might aswell tell me to masturbate over my Master getting gang raped".... It's not like i'm over sensitive, but it's just tasteless. That is just pure vulgarity, not comedy. If you want an actual humorous xanxia, try A Will Eternal. This novel is just a really bland and vulgar slapstick comedy.

Honestly, this novel should be one of the main novels in the site like where they do multiple releases in a day. Its an awesome novel with lots of comedy and intelligence. Not many cheat engine for cultivation like in other novels but here it's totally opposite(so for diehard fans for super-ultra speed cultivation this ain't for you). Except for super fast Cultivation powerup, here genuine effort and proper mind(and money) are used by MC. Don't say this is bad novel for some ****ty reasons

Love this story!!! I remembered this story from an anime that I watched once. It was as funny as then as it is now! Thanks! ;) -Monkey Elder

The male lead is amazing! His training is very slow, but he'll surely become very powerful in the future, and in the meantime, he has the wits and intelligence to make up for it!

Hilariously addictive. Spirit Sword Mountain features an out-of-the-norm main character, who wants to cultivate inside the sect. However there are several twists, and they all come in very fun forms. The first arc is incredible and more than enough to get anyone hooked with this novel. Give it a try! It's super fun!

Good novel! Sure, it might be another MC rise-to-power, but hey, at least it's funny, and hey, at least it avoids some of the usual cliches in these type of stories. One of the actual martial arts training stories I can actually stand to read. Characters have depth, MC's clever scheming is fun to follow along, romance leads aren't obnoxious, you get a pass in my book.
