About this listen

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!

Not murderhobo

It is a good start to a story and is performed well, but it feels like the majority of the book is just the introduction to set up for the story you actually want to hear. I get that there will be more books in the series, but it feels like this was half a book despite the pretty average duration. I will give the next book a try, but might just not be for me.

A bit too slow
