In the ruthless world of cultivation, one man refuses to play by the rules.

When Yao Shen, Patriarch of the Heavenly Sky Sect, ascends and regains memories of his past life on Planet Earth, he realizes that he can no longer allow himself to accept the cruel and violent ways of Eliria, the realm of cultivation.

So he decides to change it.

It was time to found a new sect. One based on the values of honor and equality over senseless violence and discrimination. A sect where all, from the mortal farmer’s son to a sect elder's daughter, were held accountable to the same rules.

Welcome to the Modern Sect.

Don't miss the start of this unique xianxia progression fantasy epic perfect for fans of The First Law of Cultivation, Beware of Chicken, and Cradle. Join a cultivator who is already at the peak of his power, but now must learn to evolve so that he may forge a better world.

About the Series: Filled with detailed world building, martial arts action, multi-faceted characters, an overpowered but rational main character, magic and more, it's everything you love about cultivation yet with a fresh point a view!

The overall delivery and set up is good but it's just that a set up.
No real stakes yet just world building which I don't mind for a book 1.
Want to see more of the characters less of the politics but overall good.

Basic but it's a start of a series.

A very good start I hope the next one really gets into the storyline a bit more.

Short but compelling

Unfortunately this book suffers from "Tell, don't show" a LOT, most of what happens in the book is told infrequently between long tangents of world building. I'm assuming it's supposed to expand upon all the plot threads in the 2nd book but eh, I really don't feel like hoping for that and paying for another book.

It was eh

Nothing really to write home about here, nothing super exciting, nothing new, the moral modern cultivator is a common enough deconstruction of the genre that its basically becoming its own genre similar to how farming cultivation novels have,

Biggest gripe has to be the not ordering names correctly, to the point where I wasn't sure if the author knew the given name comes second, combined with the use of KM instead of Li, its hard to believe otherwise.

Hearing Ralph Lister do a cultivation novel was fun.

Not something I would recommend to a first time reader of the genre, but good enough for anyone who loves xianxia and needs something to listen to.

Basic. Entertaining but not exciting.

Sect building at its best. Good writing. Perfect narration! Book two? I am all in.

New and great cultivation

Loved the world building and in-depth dive into a new world of cultivation. I enjoyed the different angle this took over many others and can’t wait to see where it goes. The only con I can see is that there wasn’t much combat.

Different

Good listen

There are some cool concepts in this book. It was novel having the protagonist starting well along his cultivation path instead of the beginning. Because of this there is a lot of exposition in the beginning of the book to bring us up to speed. There are some pretty awesome fight scenes throughout the book. The narrator did a good job.

Good start

Well thought out and decently written, but this is supposed to be a cultivation book, and all i get is politics.

not for me
