Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.The tens of thousands of universes have merged. The disintegration of spiritual force led to the momentous collapse of the great Cultivation World, a mighty era that had endured through millions of years of history. In the wake of the large-scale invasion of the Wilderness, the Avalon of Five Elements has become the practitioners’ last stand.
After a thousand years, a lowly youth, who hailed from the Old Territory, toiled as a laborer for three years in the depths of the Wilderness. He then became an exception and obtained the opportunity to enter the Avalon Of Five Elements for further studies.
Bearing beast-like fighting capabilities and driven by the desire to take control of his life, the youth strived for greater strength and power. Little did he know that he would set off a majestic upheaval.

- Cultivation system and general power was actually pretty well thought out with decent explanations (mainly in the first half of the book)
- Pretty intense moments where you feel the sorrow or epicness of the scene

Excluding the ending, it does also have some cons, which are:The red tide scene was awesome. Literally gave me goosebumps.
-
- The romance is pretty lack luster and never really progresses past the point of the MC and Xueman eventually being okay with being teased by others about being in a relationship near the end, but neither ever really take a step into being in a relationship.
- The MC having the most prodigious mind in existence. The idea that because of the MCs hard work and supreme dedication, he is able to come up with "new" ideas to recreate ancient cultivation paths using his extremely limited resources that no one else has been able to do in millions of years despite how incomparably more qualified and well equipped the other factions are. This is also identical to his other novels.
The biggest con however, is that the novel is completely unresolved. The novel started off really strong, but towards the last quarter, I started to get this sinking feeling that it was going to end up exactly like it's predecessor (World of Cultivation or WoC), and I was right. The author often has short POVs from different characters, such as when trying to show an event from the perspective of a bystander, or as a means to foreshadow certain events in the story. However, exactly like WoC, the foreshadowings were ultimately meaningless because they led nowhere and instead created unaddressed expectations. One thing to note is that I stopped reading at chapter 687 and decided to peek at some of the reviews, and eventually ended up reading a spoiler for how it ends. Excerpt from the last page of the novel: ================================Initially, people were still actively searching for the Assembly of Patriarchs and Chi Tong. However, as time went by, nobody could even find a single trace of them. The Assembly of Patriarchs had practically vanished from this world. In the meantime, Skyheart City, God Nation, and Jadeite Forest seemed to have coordinated some sort of self-imposed silence.
As the major players faded into silence, so did the stories that accompanied them. It was the end of an era.
Everyone had retreated into seclusion, and the clouds moved quietly with the wind. Perhaps a storm was brewing, or the sky was just waiting for the sun to rise. Maybe the world was just waiting for the dawn of a new era...

Many of these questions are introduced very early on in the book, and are often never mentioned again. From the author's footnote, he mentions that the story ends this way because of health issues, but this feels like a BS excuse to me, given that he did almost exactly the same thing with WoC, which was written 5 years prior to AFE. Although I read WoC at least a year ago, I do recall that many side characters and plot elements were forgotten, the final battle was completely anti-climatic, and the history of Zuo Mo's parents and his father's armor were forgotten. Did the author happen to have suffered health issues then, too? He could have easily gone back to rewrite the ending and flesh it out but instead chose to start another series and leave it in a worse state. Perhaps I'm being too harsh and he had more legitimate reasons that I don't know about, but I was not impressed. The initial Blood Calamity arc really got my hopes up and I expected this to be an epic book, but even excluding the elements above that remained unanswered, you could see things slowly devolving around the chapters in the early 600s. There were too many things to resolve and too little progression with the plot considering how much of the book was left. Ai Hui's cultivation progress goes through huge ups and downs and spends about 100 chapters in a coma, and right around where I stopped, we spend a s*upid amount of time listening to the perspective of Chi Tong (the demon god) who I really didn't care about at this point. It got chaotic and awful, with meaningless filler perspectives of random unknown grandmasters who would observe events happening, only for them to just smirk and go "interesting", leading to me eventually give up on this. With all that said, I would rate this book 2.5/5. I definitely won't ever read another half-assed book by this author again.What happens to the Old Territory itself? During the initial pass through, Ai Hui and his crew notice that there are interesting resources like the rock core and there are mentions of other artifacts that Blood of God wants in there but all of Old Territory is never mentioned again.
- This novel, like World of Cultivation, is entertaining for like the first half, maybe 2/3 of the story. Then it goes horribly astray.
- At the current point of the novel, the MC is not even in half the chapters because the author has created such a convoluted mess of a cultivation path/story line that there is no true way forward that will satisfy readers.
- The release rate appears to be slowing, likely due to the mess the author has made of the plot.
- This novel is almost fully behind the Qidian paywall known as "premium".
In conclusion: under other circumstances, it might be worth reading, though likely will prove dissatisfying in the end due... more>>
