Read more The Scattered Arts, lost pages of manuals gathered from scattered archives from all across the world. Known also as the Old Arts, these are what remained from a vast collection of knowledge that was destroyed during the war that almost wiped out all of mankind. But we prevailed. Mankind rebuilt and reached for the stars.Wang Xuan, a student of the Old Arts Research Department, had read about tales of individuals capable of inhuman feats, of practitioners ascending to the realm of immortality. But in an age of technological wonders, not many would believe in such tales. Only the truly desperate, and with the wealth and resources at their disposal, could even dream of unlocking the secrets behind these tales.Corporate greed. This was how the research into the old arts started. But with new discoveries made in the New World, and the Old Arts declared obsolete in the way of the ‘New Arts’, the studies into the realm of the ancients is coming to an end.Are the immortals real? Can mankind truly break its shackle of mortality and escape death? These are questions that Wang Xuan desperately sought to answer. He was determined to walk down the path of the Old Arts even as he reached for the stars beyond.Original Blurb:In the vast expanse of the universe, the birth and death of a galaxy are but fleeting flashes of light.Gazing up at the starry sky, there’s always a touch of melancholy, as if our fates have already been written. Where will you and I be a thousand years from now? Our homeland, the spark of our civilization, Earth itself, they are but specks of dust in the vast void of space.A moment in the cosmos is a millennium on Earth.The lifespan of an insect is but an autumn, and just like it, you and I are trying to navigate our brief existence.What lies at the very edge of deep space? Collapse Cultivation, Harem-seeking Protagonist, Male Protagonist, Modern Day, Polygamy, Romantic Subplot, Slow Cultivation, Futuristic Setting, Alternate World, Space, Weak to Strong The first 12 in a half chapters are something you can skip if you want. They are a quite boring and it is all about "woe is us" (life sucks) and the dissolution of a college that focused on ancient cultivation. The fist 12 chapters really make you want to just drop the LN if they don't turn around this negative story fast. But there is a change that happens at the end of chapter 13 that puts a positive direction to the LN. You won't really miss out on to much by just skipping to the 13th chapter. 20 chapters in and nothing has made me want to continue reading, also something about the way the novel is written/translated is so boring This is good novel.I recommend you should also try this Honestly it’s been really good so far, there’s no romance yet so for the people put off by the harem tag thinking this is another one of those Pokémon gotta catch them all type, dive in without fear. I don’t know about the future but I doubt it will go down that route since the MC hasn’t shown to be lusty at all. He’s dedicated to martial arts. This isn’t one of those fast cultivation novels where the MC pops pills and speed runs through the realms. In fact so far there isn’t even any concrete realm division. The way to judge his strength is through the body technique he is practicing, like stage 1 to stage 13. But we do know that there is a realm called grandmaster, just not the specifics of how they judge if you are a grandmaster. For those worried that the cultivation is painfully slow, it isn’t since he can enter this special realm filled with special substance, also a few minutes in reality feel like several years in the realm, so the MC can practice the technique in that realm for years, and the special substance transfers that progress to his real life body. At least that’s how I understand it. Of course he can’t enter that special realm anytime he wants, he needs to enter a special state where he can sense that realm, and thereby enter it. Later he finds items filled with the special substance in the real world which can help him enter that realm. I wouldn't call everything with harem as trash, some novels like shrouded seascape has taken care of it pretty well without affecting the novels flow. Harem>>>trash That harem tag … Quote: DeathSeekerAltSound interesting asf will see for more reviews and then deep diveSpoilerJoin the ranobe discord, link in my profile You ever been calling for help in your deepest darkest moment, truly your time of need and the only person who came was the guy behind you?
