Publisher's summary

The First Law has been revealed.

Having found the truth, Lu Jie is set out on a path against the very heavens. Now exiled from the sect and under the Lord of the Seventh Peak, he must branch out into his own, creating the foundations of a new era starting from Taizhou. But winter is fast approaching. And with it, come demonic beasts. Lu Jie’s enemies lurk in the shadows, scheming to bring him down, all the while a powerful and old foe is rising from deep beneath the earth. To win this time, he will need to understand the power that lurks within the depth of his spirits.

Book two of an epic Xianxia Cultivation series perfect for fans of Beware of Chicken and Cradle. The series features weak-to-strong power progression, a light scientific approach to magic, tons of alchemy, spirit beast companions, and so much more.

Great... until the end

This series continues to be a pretty unique and intense take on an isekai cultivation story. Good narration, solid writing, decent characters. The story is moving a bit too fast here, but Book 2 would have been a 5/5 if not for the last 2 hours. Without getting into spoilers, the end ranges between convoluted to outright stupid (Power of Friendship... ffs). Very rapid power scaling then arbitrary nerfs for his final duel, followed by more rapid power growth. There a lot of underlying good here and I'm very interested in seeing him building his village, mix old tech and magic, and investigate the mystery of the heavens. Hope it goes back to being a more even paced story in book 3.

Good

Love the current story and pace I do wish it was a little longer I can wait for the next one

Great book

This is a really good book and even better series. I’m really looking forward to the next book series. The author does a great job of the progression of the main characters. Not too fast but fast enough to keep me interested.

Whiplash

This book feels much more rushed than the first. it's impossible to truly track the MC's progress, as his abilities will skyrocket and immediately plumet just as quickly. there is much less focus on Labby and the other spirit beasts from the last book. It feels a lot less like an alchemist trying to spread knowledge and more like a traditional XianXia novel and I feel like the story suffers for it. It's still decent, but not what I was looking for in this series. I'm hoping the next book does better.

After waiting forever

This was a pretty good continuation. Who knew the power of friendship was a valid cultivation path.

Loved it!

I absolute love this series!

The cultivation in this series is just amazing! I'm so happy to have another good series to listen to.

I still hate the goo

There is Ki and there is chi but did we have to settle on the GOO 🤣.

unique premise, bland exicution

1/4 of the book is the MC magnanimously telling young women not to talk to him so formally. There are some good "modern science in an issekai world" parts, but its all powered by happy coincidences. Everybody MC knows is either a "hidden master" or happens to hold some other secret that happens to perfectly fix whatever chemistry problem MC has.

Disappointing

I liked the first book because it seemed to be moving away from the traditional cultivation novel. I was wrong and it’s gonna be a pretty uninteresting cultivation novel with a stupidly boring and easy to guess plot. waste of a credit

Narrator is fantastic and that is sadly the only good thing I can say about the book right now

ehhh

forced emotions, hand waving important development, extremely cliche grandstanding, flood armor is thick as a tank armor.
