Originally started as a 4-star, but I’ve reached chapter 170~ and it has dropped. MC had an OP system, but he himself is trash, so the system only helps him keep up. Ok, I’m with it. MC manages to get some legendary cultivation method and materials to upgrade his aptitude so he is no longer trash, and he still had the OP system. I get excited. Somehow it now takes him even longer to finish each realm. Eventually you get to the point where he gets an Old Ancestor as his master, and the guy gets the Old Ancestor’s personal cultivation method. This Old Ancestor is currently about 100,000 years old, and used this exact method to reach and “unfathomable” cultivation level. By the way, we don’t get to know all the levels either. It’s currently at 6 known levels, of which MC is at 4. But other legacy diciples, not even the elders, just diciples, are already at level 6, so the elders, grand elders, sect master, old ancestor, and transcendents who already left the world behind, should be far ahead. Anyway, 100,000 years using this method to get to where he’s at, so at this point the MC has upgraded his aptitude. We learned around chapter 100 what his original scores were, a 1 out of 5 on 5 different tests. His current scores are 1,3,3,5,4. And we know the criteria to be a legacy disciple directly from the start is at least a 4 on 1 test, and minimum 3 on all the rest. Inner sect disciple is 3 on all, and outer sect is 3 on 1 test, and at least 1 on the rest. Oh, and also, nobody has gotten a 5 on the specific test he has it on (Saint level body physique) since the last transcendent more than 100,000 years previous. Somehow, he uses OP system to cultivate this method, at a rate of 1,000,000 (one million) to 1 (one). Doing this, it takes him 10 years for a minor realm, and then another 10 years for a second minor realm. Meaning his equivalent cultivation due to the system is 20,000,000 years for 2 minor realms, despite all the aptitude upgrades putting him even above some other people. But his master zoomed through the entire thing in 100,000 years of NORMAL cultivation. Oh yeah, normal cultivators still have to sleep and eat, go outside the sect on missions to get battle experience, search for rare herbs and ingredients to make the pills they need to help them heal from backlash, and break through bottlenecks that halt their progress for several years. MC doesn’t have any of these problems, and the AFK system cultivates for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, whether he’s doing something else or not. Nobody suspects a thing because he has multiple “slots” to afk learn multiple things, so he spends those 10 years for a single minor realm, but also gets a lot of other things learned. So everyone assumes he just spent his time learning other stuff instead of cultivating. But the readers know it’s bogus. Same rate for all the slots by the way. One million to one, for several years, to perfect 2nd rank pill refinement, or 2nd rank blacksmithing. Again, understandable if he maintained the 1 scores across the board for his aptitudes. He’s trash and the system helps him keep up. But he no longer has that problem. Author also started repeating himself over several chapters about 80~ chapters in. So 1/4 of the chapter is the exact same thing, but said multiple times by different people who are all at the same event, witnessing whatever is going on, at the same time. Book was decent for the first bit, but turns to garbage about 1/3 of the way through the currebt amount of chapters. (I believe 340~ right now)
