About this listen

A laugh-out-loud, slice-of-life martial-arts fantasy about . . . farming????

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I'm stuck in his body.

But I think he'd like how things are turning out.

So much happened last year! The battle at the Dueling Peaks, the revelation at the Azure Hills, and the calamity that damaged them. But most important? I became a father. It's hard and stressful at times, but I've got an entire family for support. And yes, some of its members have feathers or fur. (Big D is very good at lullabies.)

Anyway, spring awaits, and I find myself optimistic. I wish for a long, peaceful year for everyone. Even Gramps, the cultivator who took Rou in after his parents died. He cared enough to write me a letter so I hope my return message finds him well.

Though I'm probably never going to see him again. After all, Rou was just a random kid he picked up on a whim. He can't be that interested in me . . . Right?

The fifth volume of the blockbuster progression-fantasy series—with more than 20 million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

If you liked the previous books, then you'll like this one.
If you felt that the previous books were getting a little stale, then I'd urge you to give this one a go.
As it stands, without the 6th installment, this book feels like a turning point in the series. Lots of story threads get a cathartic end and new stories organically begin. However, that is what this book is, it's a fork in the road, not the new road altogether.
I'm very much looking forward to the 6th installment after reading this one.

The 5th book, yet the gears are turning
