In my opinion, this novel stands out as one of the best. Each character leads a unique life, from beggars to formidable beings like Mo Yu. Despite their potential for cruelty, this novel distinguishes itself by exploring the lives and concerns of even the most humble characters. The plot avoids relying too heavily on advantages, as seen when a character other than the main character acquires the Water Yin technique. It captures a world where power imbalances create a tangible atmosphere. Unlike recent trends where authors often focus solely on harem or romance, this story takes a refreshing approach. It avoids the lengthy pursuit of love-related matters seen in works like "Warrior's Promise" and dispels romantic clichés similar to "Legend of the Swordsman." The author's careful consideration prevents the narrative from becoming entangled in repetitive romantic storylines. In the vast immortal world, the protagonist faces a choice between seeking immortality or succumbing to degeneracy—it's a simple choice.
