Overall, I would recommend this manhua to anybody seeking to explore high quality Chinese manhuas or stories with wuxia themes. This manhua has a distinctive watercolor-esque style that sets it apart from other mass-produced manhuas. More importantly, it establishes its identity as a manhua rather than copying the webtoon or manga style. The story itself is a stereotypical wuxia story filled with soaring immortals and wicked demons that are hallmarks of the Chinese mythos. Hopefully, this manhua can become a staple in the manhua community and inspire more artists to establish a unique manhua flavor. For newcomers to wuxia, the genre is very similar tohigh fantasy in western fiction. Most stories take place in ancient times with a low technology level, and fights take place with cold weapons such as swords and bows. Naturally, there is a magical aspect to this kind of world where people with the innate aptitude can "cultivate" qi for longer lifespans and higher combat prowess. There are some variations of wuxia that take inspiration from litRPGs with levels and realms that can sometimes stretch nigh unto infinity called xuanhuan. However, this novel eschews that archetype and focuses more on the mysticism behind cultivation. A major trope in wuxia stories is that cultivators are "seeking the dao," or in other words, they are seeking and forming their way in life. Thus, the best wuxia stories have a character arc implicitly written into them. This manhua does this well by juxtapositioning the struggles of a sister-brother pair who have vastly different lives.

In the end, the story is solid, and the art is amazing. Give it a try!
