Pros Cons
➕ Long ➖ Repetitive
➕ Art ➖ Shallow
➕ Pace ➖ Lack of consistency
➕ Battles

Lore

The story happens in a universe where beings can “cultivate” themselves. It allows them powers from simple strength to god powers. It is a typical Manhua type of setting repeating many of the same concepts of other Manhua. Do not expect many differences here. It revolves around the void, space, teleportation, and warm holes.

Story

The journey to the martial peak is a lonely, solitary and long one. In the face of adversity, you must survive and remain unyielding. Only then can you break through and continue on your journey to becoming the strongest. Sky Tower tests its disciples in the harshest ways to prepare them for this journey. One day the lowly sweeper Yang Kai managed to obtain a black book, setting him on the road to the peak of the martial world.

There are many fight scenes and training with some romance and relationships. It is not too much and allows the author to keep it fresh as the beings in this universe live for many years. There is time for many relationships and romances with very distinct characters. There is rarely comedy in the stories. It would be great if there were a bit more of it.
