Synopsis
After a brutal death in prison due to false charges, Chu Xun spends three millennia in another realm ascending to the rank of Immortal Emperor. By sacrificing his peak power, he travels back in time to the moment before his original demise to uncover the conspiracy that ruined his life. This narrative utilizes the popular regression trope, reading like a classic urban cultivation fantasy where a seasoned master returns to their youth. It is perfectly suited for readers who enjoy revenge-driven plots and the methodical power progression of xianxia. Conversely, those seeking a subversive take on the genre or a slow-burn character study should skip this title. The pacing is brisk, focusing heavily on the protagonist's singular drive for retribution and the reclaiming of his destiny, making the early chapters a fast-paced ride.

Editorial Review
The novel presents a compelling hook by blending a murder mystery with high-fantasy cultivation. The strongest element is the clear motivation provided to the protagonist, which creates an immediate sense of urgency and purpose. However, the work is currently in its very early stages with only 40 chapters, meaning much of the world-building and supporting cast remain underdeveloped. While the Shounen influence ensures a satisfying sense of progression, there is a risk of the plot falling into generic tropes if the author does not introduce more complex conflicts. As an ongoing project, it shows promise in its execution of the return fantasy, but it requires more content to prove its long-term narrative depth. It is a solid start for fans of the genre, though it currently lacks the refinement of more established series.
