However, during a calamity, he accidentally opened a passage to a low-level martial world. In that world with a weaker combat system, the protagonist had a smooth sailing. He could slowly develop there, obtain resources to arm himself, and then use the techniques he learned in the Low Level Martial World to return to the Immortal Cultivation World to improve himself. The first advantage of this book was that the settings were perfect. The power systems of the two worlds were completely different, but the author had written them in a rich and perfect way. The readers could clearly see the development of the protagonist, as well as the cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts that the protagonist obtained from the two worlds. Furthermore, the author also wrote about the local customs of the two worlds, and the differences in the lives of the main characters in the two worlds were written very vividly. The second advantage of this book was that the main character's personality was very realistic. As a GD-type character, Gou Zi's character was naturally two-faced and scheming. He was a yes-man in the cultivation world and had the limelight in the low-level martial arts world. He was also decisive in killing. The plagiarist had a good grasp of the protagonist's character, which suited the world he was writing about. After all, in a chaotic world, only cold-blooded egoists could survive. In general, this book was a very good immortal cultivation text. The plagiarism was stable and worth reading. "Who told him to cultivate!" "Who told him to cultivate!" It was a nonsensical but imaginative novel. The author combined immortal cultivation with relaxing and interesting elements to create a unique reading experience.
