***Review after reading through half the novel***So here’s another one.In simple words, it’s alright.There isn’t anything great. MC for most of the novel isn’t anything great. I mean yes, he’s strong and leapfrogs during fights, but there is nothing captivating as such. He’s an alchemist. Unlike other alchemists, he’s an all-rounder. But also like other alchemists, he has no other skills.It’s truly weird.Like he has a very OP Body Refining cultivation technique, but all he can do is land plain ordinary punches. He has no techniques that can compliment it.He has a well balanced and strong Five Elements cultivation technique, which has its origins during Ancient Era. The creator of the technique also used it to become an immortal. Everyone after him also had significant achievements, and are famous throughout the world. Yet, the MC has no techniques or skills he can use in pair with it to display his actual strength. He does however have another Five Elements skill/technique (not sure what exactly), which create five coloured lights and he can send them into others body, and then immobilise them. But it doesn’t do much to those with strong cultivation, which by the way constitutes to a lot of people that MC faces. Almost it can be used as a disruption.Apart from this, he has a sword skill, for sneak attacks. Yes, the MC who practices Five Elements Qi cultivation, Body Refining cultivation AND Divine sense cultivation simultaneously, has his only skill as a sneak attack skill that works at best again those within the same realm. News flash! He is anyway invincible in the same realm! He has the most underwhelming fights while being so incredibly strong.Phew!Anyway, apart from this…I guess you could say that the progress of the story is a bit bland. Everything is pretty conveniently handed to him.The place he stayed at in the beginning is attacked by beasts, and in the chaos, some human stepping stone is killed by MCs friend. UNSURPRISINGLY, this stepping stone has a very high grade sword, which is odd as he is a body and it’s the “novice area”. Also UNSURPRISINGLY, this friend gives the sword as a gift to the MC. This sword is a flawless sword which can become invisible and can be used to sneak attack. But is only against those within the same realm. UNSURPRISINGLY, a year or so later, in an auction he finds a technique which can be paired PERFECTLY with this sword, so much so that if paired with other swords, it’s not gonna work. So he gets it, but it’s incomplete. UNSURPRISINGLY, a few years later when the technique and sword is becoming unless to his realm, he finds the remains of the person who actually created the technique, and hence completely it, and also finds a broken sword and additional materials with the persons remains, which can be used to upgrade the sword to a very high level.This is just the instance with the sword skill. This is the case with all his skills. This is the first MC I have seen that never had to give up a cultivation technique or skill ‘coz they outlived their purpose. He’s just conveniently handed the means to keep cultivating the techniques he started on day one! Never having to give up and cultivate something else or something better.At the end of the day, it kills time. And its not bad in that regard. So try it if you have nothing else. It’s pretty short sized novel as well. About 400+ chapters.
