First, I'd like to thank all my fellow Daoists for your support along the way. Jiaozi's book was about to reach four million words.
This was the author's first long novel, and also the first time venturing into this mortal cultivation-and-leveling genre. Along the way, I discovered many of my own shortcomings. I definitely won't make these mistakes in the next book.
First, regarding the plot: the protagonist had now reached Mid-Stage Spirit Transformation, with neither divine abilities nor strength being weak. The North Cold Continent arc had also truly begun.

Of course, even more important was the
