Synopsis

Su Ming grew up dreaming about becoming a Berserker even though he knew that the chances of him becoming one were close to nil. One day, he found a strange piece of debris, and it allowed him to walk the path of becoming a Berserker. But would it be enough for Su Ming to become just another Berserker to protect those he cares about?
Would he be satisfied with leaving everything in fate's hands?
*This novel was originally named Beseech the Devil, but due to the author's wishes, it was changed to Pursuit of the Truth.

    in fact,the synopsis of original is just a poem: 魔前一扣三千年,回首凡尘不做仙 here is general meaning: Now that everbody think i'm a devil,i'm going to beseech the devil,after thousands of years,i look back at the ordinary world,i will not be an angel,I am willing to be the enemy of the world for you,my love.

    Currently my favourite active book. I am a big fan of all the Er Gen works and Pursuit of Truth does not fail to deliver. Containing the mystery and flavour of Er Gen's I Shall Seal The Heavens and the doom and gloom of Renegade Immortal, Er Gen has succeeded in creating a book that in the future can proudly stand at the forefront of the Chinese Immortal Genre. Thank you for reading my review!

    I'm going to be honest, this novel has very little adventure, a lackluster MC personality, and the whole berserker thing seems extremely odd. The skill text that the MC reads are also pretty funky. Not sure if MC is suppose to be a Gauls or a asian mountain person like the Miao or something similar.

    The story is extremely boring. The MC is dense, almost as he does not have a brain on that mut of his. The author tries to force concepts in mismatched situations and the story continues as everything is normal. Character interaction is weird, the whole story is weird, the author does not know what he is writing, maybe he notices during the ending of the novel. Damn forced plot. Read ahead on mtl after these chaps, very disappointing.

    Lord Er Gen!! The grand daddy creator of the F5 Sect! Can't wait to reading this one! Er Gen writes his books and characters with unique sentiments or traits. Like Meng Hao from ISSTH or A will eternal! Wish you the best of fortunes translators and team!

    starts of good, then after about 80 chapters author forces drama and tries to make mc look resolute and cool.... sadly it comes over as incredibly childish and bratty, really out of character and annoying, all at the same time. killed the story for me.

    "of all the vices that we have, sentiment is the one which keeps the world running" This is definitely not er gen's best work, from a critical perspective. But it is most definitely his most beautiful work till date. So much so that I would rank it just below Mao ni's nightfall and I Am Ink's grasping evil. This novel has transcended the bounds of xianxia, just like my former mentions. It is emotionally verbose to a very magnitude. Some of the underlying philosophies are such that each of us might relate to it some extent. Agreed, that this novel is not without er gen's use of his typical plot devices and grand scale deus ex machina, some of which might even be considered cliché, but nonetheless, it is a stellar novel. With a mind blowing world building, super emo characters and er gen's standard 'screw the heavens' tone of the protag throughout the story, this should be a definite read for the enlightened readers looking for something meaty, especially if you're looking for grit in a xianxia which is rarer than a blue moon

    There's no repetative plot going bros. And the story is just on another level. The story is very serious and dark, so thinking that it might have some comedy just pass it, the story progress is great.So, its a great story, must read.

    RI is Er Gen's most serious novel; no real slap stick characters. PoT is overall just tragic. Main character just can't seem to get a a break. The transition to The Devil is the expected outcome after a series of unexpected events. Read it

    The first novel i ever readed, that brought me better understanding in the true essence of "life" and the various principles that commands "life". Er Gen, definitly reached a lot of ephitany on the "mastery of the mind" and it is reflected in this story. Thank you Mr Author, thank you Mr/s Translator, thank you Mr/s Editor. Why do we read? Do we read for reading? Why do we eat? Do we eat to eat?...... This novel is the only must read i would ever recommand in your pursuit of mastery of your highter self, it brings perspective that you can't find anywhere else. The Universe is amazing.

    My most favorite Er Gen novel in existence--and yes, i've read ISSTH, RI, AWE, AWWP but honestly, for me, nothing could compare to this work. I absolutely loved Su Ming as a character and how he grew throughout the series. I also loved most of the cast, and I think that Er Gen did the main villains justice, despite my searing hatred for what they've done. I enjoyed every book--though I felt that the berserkers vs immortals part in book 3 was kind of dragged out, but I also think that books 5-6 are what really hit me the most. Recalling it now, my heart hurts again.

    All i can say is that this novel isn't getting the love it deserves from QI. Instead of promoting generic stories that revamp the same arc with different characters for 2000 chapters this should be brought front and center as a quality novel and translation. The best novel on this site(imho).
