Synopsis
Ding Songyan discovers a world where the legendary beasts of the Classic of Mountains and Seas were once consumed to grant supernatural abilities. While the creatures themselves are extinct, the resulting martial arts transformations persist and can still be cultivated by those seeking power. This reads like a traditional xianxia progression fantasy with a twist on mythological consumption, leaning heavily into bestiary-style power systems. It is ideal for enthusiasts of Eastern mythology and meticulous world-building focused on unique power sources. However, readers who prefer rapid-fire action or a fully realized plot should skip this for now. The pacing is currently slow and introductory, spending its early moments establishing the conceptual framework of the world's magic. The standout quality is the imaginative integration of ancient folklore into a tangible combat system, promising a deep dive into a reimagined mythological landscape.

Editorial Review
The novel presents a compelling conceptual hook that separates it from generic cultivation stories. By linking martial arts to the consumption of extinct mythical beasts, the author creates an immediate sense of history and lost knowledge. The strength of the work lies in its evocative world-building and the clear, imaginative hierarchy of powers established in the opening pages. However, the primary weakness is the current lack of substance; with only six chapters available, there is virtually no character development or plot progression to analyze. It remains a mere sketch of a world rather than a fully realized story. For a reader, the ongoing status and minimal content make this a high-risk investment. While the premise is polished, the actual narrative execution remains unproven until a more significant volume of text is released.
