The book I recommend to you today is "Kai Tian Lu" by Qidian Platinum writer and mentor-level writer Xue Hong.

Why is it called mentor level?
Is the dog exaggerating?
Haha~
Readers familiar with Qidian, especially failed authors, should know that Writer Assistant often pops up notifications about various online writer training courses.

Among the teachers teaching in the training class, there must be one who is as red as blood!
Now, let's officially start our drug testing journey~

Summary:
Survival is easy.

Life is hard.

What my people want is not a humble existence, but a life with our heads held high and proud.

My people swear not to be slaves!
The title of the book is quite impressive. Creation of the Heaven? Besides Pangu, who else could have done it?
【Golden Five Chapters】

Chapter 1: At the Wu Clan, the young Wu Tie diligently cultivates, but his teacher urges him to study more. His father returns triumphantly after defeating the Xiong Clan, but Wu Tie feels no joy. After all the fighting, the Wu Clan will eventually face its own calamity. This foreshadows the rest of the story.

Chapter Two: Hunting. Wu Tie follows his teacher as he interprets his spoils—books. For barbarians like them, books are truly precious treasures. The family's dwarf slaves discover a new mine, seemingly leading to a new location. Meanwhile, assassins have already infiltrated the Wu household. The hunt begins.

Chapter 3: Assault. Wu Tie and his father, having discovered the mysterious river, had not yet had time to share their joy with the entire clan before their master and pets were killed, and the entire Wu family was nearly wiped out.

Chapter 4: That Kneeling. Assassins stormed into the cave, and after a bloody battle, the second and third brothers were killed, along with his father. Wu Tie witnessed the tragic deaths of his father and brothers, his heart trembling, nearly collapsing. Yet, his eldest brother knelt before the enemy.

Chapter Five: Entering the Water. "The fourth brother is a wimp, he's no threat to you." The eldest brother kneels, simply to plead with the enemy to spare the protagonist. The law of the jungle, the law of survival, leaves the assassins with no mercy. The eldest brother is killed, but his bloodline, protected by the enemy, severely wounds them. The protagonist's newly acquired trophy—the Chiyou Fang—protects him from death in the water. Thus begins a new life.

【Brief Comment】

【advantage】

Strong story.

A young barbarian, frail and unable to cultivate, is tragically murdered by his entire family. How can he avenge this vengeance? Falling into the water, he encounters a mysterious skeleton, claiming to be a divine weapon, who helps him embark on the path of cultivation. Just as his cultivation is beginning to improve, his secret retreat is discovered by outsiders fleeing and pursuing him. The young and naive protagonist, filled with a strong sense of justice, steps forward to rescue the beauty. Unexpectedly, the beauty is like a scorpion, and the enemy and friend are suddenly reversed.

The setting is unique.

The protagonist is a member of the Naiman tribe, a non-normal human race where men raise boys and women raise girls. The protagonist has never seen his mother and sister since birth, but he has a gifted bloodline that allows him to transform and awaken.

The races in this book are complex, with dwarves, exotic beasts, and humans living together, but with strict hierarchy.

The setting of the divine weapons is quite interesting. Erlang Shen, Howling Sky Dog, and the heavenly soldiers and generals are actually just divine weapons, rarely with actual physical bodies. The skeleton that assists the protagonist in his training, calling himself "Lao Tie," the ninth generation of Bian Que's ancient medical divine soldier, has a deep connection to Erlang Shen. He even takes on Howling Sky Dog's physical body and becomes a "dog with a human head."

The writing style is sophisticated. Old Platinum is Old Platinum. Each chapter is well written, and the end of each chapter always leaves a mystery to keep you tantalizingly interested.

The plot twists swiftly. The Wu family triumphs over the Xiong family, but their joy is fleeting, as they are annihilated in the blink of an eye. The protagonist, seemingly unable to cultivate and on the verge of collapse, suddenly begins practicing a perfect foundation-building technique. A beautiful woman appears incredibly pliant, yet, to survive, she quickly surrenders to the enemy and slaughters them all.

Sophisticated language.

Since I've only seen the early stages, I'm not sure if Laotie is a modern civilization. Because some of its lines are very modern, like a talking computer.

This book occasionally features some twists and turns. For example, the protagonist's father, right in front of him, talks about having a younger sister. The teacher occasionally recites human poetry, songs, and classics. Lao Tie, on the other hand, masters mythology, magic, and technology to perfection. Shi Lingqing's transformation from a young girl to a young woman is remarkably smooth.

This book actually has many advantages. As the plot unfolds, the grand worlds of mythology, witchcraft, Wu Kingdom, Fuxi, etc. will be revealed one by one, all of which are fascinating and unforgettable.

The key is that it's not cliché at all.

After all, Xuehong is a mentor-level writer who often teaches, has excellent works, unlimited creativity, and a high status.

However, blindly praising people is not my style!
【Make complaints】

The writing style is very different from the author's appearance. The author is chubby, smiling, and looks very knowledgeable, and you might think he's a serious person. But the book is full of "hooliganism", jokes, and tricycles.

Xuehong's books on Qidian are all fantasy and xianxia. As someone who started out in the underworld genre, he actually didn't think of continuing to stir up trouble in the urban genre. What a waste of his talent!

【At last】

This book is really good, and to be honest, it is much better than "Cang Yuan Tu"!

I'm not trying to stir up hatred. You can compare and see if what I said is right.

In the near future, I will try out Duxuehong's books one after another.

If you are interested, you can follow me and take a look together to see whether it is poisonous or not.

In addition, friends who are following the updates, please leave a spoiler in the comment section. Will Wu Tie become Pangu in the end?

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I am Cang Yiwei, and I am here to speak for myself!
