Publisher's summary

The Clear Sky Brush painted the world. Will one of its creations destroy it?

Gears have been turning for centuries, and war has broken out. Cha Ming and Feng Ming rush to shore up the North’s meager defenses before devils from the South overrun them. No country can escape.

In Gold Leaf City, Wang Jun has betrayed the North. He loathes his own actions, but he will do what he must to protect his beloved. He weaves a deep web while walking on the edge of a razor. A single misstep will cost him everything.

Meanwhile, Huxian rushes to complete the Candle Dragon’s trials. He fights with his life on the line because he alone knows the strength of their true enemy: a fiendish hunger that devours worlds....

i cant

nope not going to keep the series because the author couldn't keep it separated from todays bs progressive woke garbage politics. I didn't care about him promoting his vegetarian diet but being woke and progressive in a reincarnated to another world and then you can't keep it separated is just stupid and I'll not support it with my money.

Gag me!

I should have never bought this audio book. I love the story, but the voice acting/direction. Seriously GAG me. What kind of Shakespeareian dramatization garbage is this. This story is about war and being powerful and fighting. Why is it narrated with a flowery accent? barf.

A fitting ending to an Arc

This is one of my favorites cultivation series ever. Well developed characters with dept, very well thought through cultivation system, and deep understanding of political machinations and dynamics.

The author did very well, and the narrator was 10/10. Can't wait for the next series.

A Story that Transcends the Heavens

I must say, after taking what I thought was a unique "risk" with picking up the first book, it's been absolutely incredible falling in love with that book and continuing the journey through 9 masterful stories, which have traversed such an incredible range of growth and awareness.

This book feels as though it is ending the first leg of an amazing journey, while at the same time opening the door to incredible new worlds beyond. I strongly recommend anyone interested in Cultivation novels, of self examination and that persistent desire to learn and grow, to pick up this series. It's both enlightening and feeds the soul.

Full circle

The main story of the spoke was good as all the other ones the ending was freaking amazing it tied up all of the loose ends but you always wonder about maybe even just a little and gives amazing place for the next Set of books Hell I might be happy if it ended here because that was such a good ending the ending both makes you mourn the loss and really feel good about the victories it is weird and I love it

The best word to sum this series up is “Plot Armor”.

These last few books were a severe struggle for me. It started strong and then redundant and tedious. It has gotten to the point that I only care to listen to Hoshin and friend’s story. Will not continue this series.

IDK

The first third of this book is Little ruffer and felt little monotonous but the way the rest of the book is completely makes up for that. He could have ended the series on this book. I am curious I'm weird he goes next.

There’s no “woke” stuff

What is with the weirdly political talk. And it’s trying to justify that our two party system with few people coming out is the optimal and ultimate type of political system. It’s propaganda and a bit nationalist, but not “woke”.

Balance

Throughout this book I see the rise and fall, the death and birth, the love and hate of all the characters. Within every lie the is a truth and in every truth a lie, but all working towards one particular goal.

the end of you wish

The story has been building up, and honestly, i feel like it would be beating a dead horse at this point if I continue. I feel satisfied, the end is abrupt, its concise and wraps up most of the loose ends
I honestly don't think I could hold on to this series much longer as he only has one single goal and none of his original friends except for hoxian
