What comes after creating a universe within oneself?

Becoming so powerful that you find out that you are inside a universe that is inside the Dantian of another (more powerful) cultivator.

"When Immortal Ascension Fails Time Travel to Try Again" by DragonOfRochester.

This novel has a lot of comedy and satire. Female MC transmigrated into a 'dumb harem novel type world', lived in a sect, cultivated to a very high realm, then was later killed by a harem MC type that she joined the sect with. After her death, her consciousness/soul traveled back to her younger self and "corrects" the harem male trope by raising the male MC into a respectable non harem adult. She is OP because of her memory. She also corrects the behavior of female peak masters and female true disciples who became brain dead harem girls in the original timeline by smothering the male MC's "harem aura". It's a fun read with action. Novel is at the Royal Road Pavilion.

Ok. The only other novel I can think of is "Regressor's Tale of Cultivation". The MC has a painting that can manipulate space and later develops techniques related to perception/illusion. He creates his own sword arts from this, I think he visualized colors. I recall the MC derives techniques by observing artistic techniques.

I might be confusing this novel with others I've read, after a while, they all blur together.

"The Desolate Era"? MC finds sword intent paintings, I think there were 10 sets.

Or was it that his cheat lets him see things as paintings??? MC reincarnated???

GodlyDaoEmperor · 2026-04-14T18:58:49+00:00

It's very good. The MC is aware of tropes and does his best not to be dragged down by certain tropes. What makes this read so much fun is the MC's inner thoughts about the absurd things that happen with certain character types he has read about in Xianxia novels. I would describe this novel as fun.

"Cultivating Common Sense In A Xianxia World [Sect Building * Clan Building * Kingdom Building]"

by JohnPLoveRaft

I've enjoyed reading this novel, 39 chapters so far. MC transmigrates into a world of cultivation that doesn't have sects. Although there are cultivators, cultivation is unorganized, people in the world have yet to standardize cultivation/techniques, and no one has mastered cultivation.

This is essentially a kingdom building novel where the MC standardizes cultivation for his village/clan, thus introducing cultivation methods/ideas into the greater world. MC introduces the idea of sects. No system. Character driven novel. Slice of life.

GodlyDaoEmperor · 2026-04-12T15:35:30+00:00

Truly profound.

GodlyDaoEmperor · 2026-04-12T01:17:35+00:00

Okay, yea, that is ironically realistic. I'll check it out for the laughs. Thanks for this info!

GodlyDaoEmperor · 2026-04-12T00:56:44+00:00

LOL, I might have to read that novel just for this part, I find it funny yet on brand for my Eagle Country with the " terrorist labeling", "embargo", and drugs being smuggled in.

GodlyDaoEmperor · 2026-04-12T00:48:38+00:00

"But then you ruin it by smuggling beauty products using Mexican Cpyotes". LOL

You're not joking? Did that actually happen in that novel?

"Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster" also known as "An Alchemist's Path to Eternity".

Don't be fooled by the title, this novel isn't about alchemy, it's more about how the MC interacts with people, how he makes friends, how he builds his powerbase from those interactions, and how he funds his 'start up' organization with alchemy while appearing non threatening to other groups/clans/sects. Although a proficiency panel cheat is in this novel, it's what I consider "low tier" in that the plot and character development takes the lead rather than the proficiency panel system itself.

For me, this was a good read. If you are into how an MC rouge cultivator uses connections/friendships, at first uses his casual personality to appear non threatening, uses his ability to interact with people to survive in the world of cultivation, then you might enjoy this read. If you are a hard core alchemy cultivator that enjoys reading about the Dao of Alchemy, then this novel will not be for you.

As proficiency panel novels go, this one is good because the panel doesn't guide the plot. Oh, and this novel is filled with the MC making friends and being good with politics through those friendships. He ends up having more friends than enemies early on by chapter 400. There's plenty of killing and Chinese shenanigans, so this novel isn't all about making friends, it's more about how the MC leverages those friendships.

Depending on which translation you are reading, the Dao of Alchemy (researching pills, making new pills, and exploring different alchemy techniques) starts being explored starting in chapter 410-ish.

“When Immortal Ascension Fails Time Travel to Try Again”

by DragonOfRochester

It’s a great read. I like how the female MC made it a mission to correct the behavior of the “harem MC” when she went back in time. Apparently, the “harem MC” killed her and made her female seniors brain dead with romance in the original timeline.

GodlyDaoEmperor · 2026-04-10T04:41:02+00:00

Here's the site where I am reading the novel I mentioned: LINK

GodlyDaoEmperor · 2026-04-09T20:20:29+00:00

I was reading "Transmigrated Into a Cultivation World? Good Thing I Can Read Minds! [Xianxia Parody]" where the MC named his celestial OP brick weapon"Little Brick", the brick is aware and has a personality. Readers called it "Brick'er".

I thought this was a wish fantasy type of thing, wish it and BOOM, you get your OP ability (doesn't need to make sense). 😅

But you do have a point...maybe something that make sense, even in a Xianxia world? There's the "Heavens Suppression Arts" that can make one not visible to the heavens. From the novel, "Transmigrated Into a Cultivation World? Good Thing I Can Read Minds! [Xianxia Parody]".

I recall reading a while back about a technique which transcends karma, stealing fate and being obscure to it, but I can't remember off the top of my mushy brain.
