Decent novel. It's nice to see a character who doesn't just run around and survive due to plot armor. Though plot armor has really just been replaced by a system as without that he wouldn't have even had the talent to cultivate in the first place let alone the later rewards that allows him to avoid going out and competing for techniques, resources(natural treasures to increase qi), and etc. Han Jue really is never really challenged nor threatened either as he has the system battle simulation and system dao field. I still enjoyed the novel, though, despite the above, but the biggest problem I have is the Heavenly Emperor character. The author acts like he was super kind to Han Jue when really their relationship was just one of interest. Han Jue even says he was like a father to him, which is absurd. It starts with the Heavenly Court ruled by the Heavenly Emperor going to slaughter Han Jues entire world. Only once mc shows his power, and 'talent' does this change. Then, the heavenly emperor allows Han jue to stay hidden and cultivate. Somehow, this becomes a kind act in the authors words. Thanks for not killing me? Still have to surrender to heavenly court, though. At least he can stay hidden, right? After all, Han Jue doesn't want to waste his time dealing with intrigue in the heavenly court, and he does have enemies. He also has enemies in the immoral world that the heavenly emperor promised will not be a problem anymore. He even leaves a powerful guard outside Han Jues' world. The problem is that while those enemies don't become a problem, new enemies are. The guard is never useful as Han Jue often has to fight enemies, and the guard ends up having not been their for whatever reason. Eventually, a calamity period happens, and the heavenly court can't even protect itself. Han Jue has the dao field at this point and can hide from his enemies. Basically, the heavenly court is no longer useful to him. However, Han Jue feels he should repay the heavenly emperors kindness(?) to him. Anyway, whatever, that's fine, but this quickly becomes Han Jue many times having to save the heavenly emperor, but no matter how many times he does, the author acts like Han Jue still owes him greatly. Even like I said, eventually, when heavenly emperor becomes an enemy of the heavenly dao Han Jues response, is I can't kill him as they had a father and son like relationship? Honestly, what is even worse is how Han Jue treats his dao companions and his children. The hierarchy of how Han Jue treats people is heavenly emperor first, then his Dao Companions, then his disciples, and lastly, his children. Even then, though, he shows obvious bias among which dao companion and disciples he treats better. Anyway, back to heavenly emperor, he basically becomes a leech, and Han Jue continues to have his decedent's sent to the heavenly emperors new heavenly court for 'training' basically making this power extremely powerful... So yeah, not killing Han Jue and promising and failing to protect Han Jue led to heavenly emperor being supported by Han Jue infinitely. This is probably one of the most disgusting relationships I've ever seen in any Chinese novel. It's weird, too, because for a while, it's just that Han Jue feels he will repay the favor that's it, then it just drastically shifts to continuously repaying the favor but author acts like Han Jue hasn't. Then rveb more drastically out if no were it says he was like a father to Han Jue, I don't think Han Jue has even met him in person more than 3 times at that point as well and all their conversations were never about anything close people would talk about... Anyway, it wouldn't have been so upsetting if Han Jue treated those who actually were good to him well, but he doesn't, which just makes this even more disgusting...
