I don't know how to describe it, really. It is supposed to be another quick pass / world hopping / transmigration. I honestly managed to read only 1st arc that was a xianxia world all of a sudden, but that's the exact reaction, I think I barely survived how boring to me it was. Sure thing it was supposed to be poetic etc. but 46 chapter of particularly nothing exciting.

1st arc was basically like this. MC who claims to be an old monster, transmigrates into xianxia story in which he was rescued from a lower world and taken to upper world, he was cultivated for one reason to cut his dao bones and give it to his first desciple. MC transmigrates right before the two of them become the Taoist couple ceremony. Which ended in blood since MC cut his own bone and left it to the man (supposed to be ML, my assumption). Anyway, MC cuts his bone out and leaves to lower world.

The story isn't anything complicated, the MC leaves, then he goes to his own sect where he becomes an elder since in lower world cultivation is limited and when they were visiting a secret realm for wining his desciples disappeared, he went to find them and it happened they were in spiritual realm that connected lower world and upper world. He saved them, but got acquainted with other Yun Shu, he is actually a part of YS's soul that was lost before, his emotions, that's why he was so unscrupulous for the Dao Bone of MC. He also met the desciple that got the bone, but honeslty the conflict there is lukewarm. In the end YS soul left to the main body to become the main body itself and be together with MC, MC got this secret realm and used it to enrich lower world with spiritual qi, he helped cultivate many disciples from his sect and other sects, enriched the soil and slowly the world started to change. He also used that realm to cultivate and got the call of Heaven that explained that the world was changing and the road to ascend was closed so no one can ascend to immortality (including Yun Shu), but because of what he did they voice talked to him directly of the situation etc. In the end he used his life to fill up the missing part in the road of ascention which made Yun Shu ascend to immortality, but MC disappeared from this place. In time many things changed. This includes many side-character that were fascinated by MC's beauty and character.

I'd say honestly, there was nothing much happening and not many conflicts happened too, everything felt lukewarm like a literature that wanted to be more than it is, but it barely could hold my interest due to lack of direction except one that appeared much later. There was no direction if things will change between ML and MC or if there will be some main aim of this arc, but no, it just stayed like that and I have no idea what was the whole point of it.

RATE: 1,5*/5 for the first arc, it might have been beautiful, but pointless.

*I've read only first arc (chapters 1-46)
