The MC in this novel is Li An.Like every novel the author nerfs the MC.It read again and disgusted with it.Come on,he has more life span and could improve his spiritual roots at normal speed.
The author forces the MC to be naive and dumb(it's around chapter 19), the novel becomes downhill after meeting Tan Qingxue introduced by Xu Qiuhui and get bavk on it, she suggests plots to control him.This novel had some potential that could make it great but is ruined by author and I will show you with examples from what I have read this novel.
Example 1 : Tang Qingxue wants to go to secret realm and MC does not want to secret.When she said to join her venture to secret realm he immediately agress with out any second thought and didn't even it refuse.But our MC has no need to venture into secret realm and compete for opportunities like others for cultivatio; because he can compensate these by his long lifespan and improving his spiritual roots which is possible.He could have not involved in these people and feels like fall for their trap because they are women.
Example 2 : He could made talismans in peace instead of involving with this Tan Qingxue.
Example 3 : This novel is slow and the author is forcing enemies and forcing problems into MC of this novel
Don't be decieved by high ratings from other reviewers because they are not underlying the basic problems with this novel
The real point in which the novel's downfall happens after joining the Dao sect who mistreated him,if he go to other sects then he can start a fresh start
