The story and execution are masterful. This manhwa is the perfect combination of humor, drama, and pure satisfaction. It starts out a little slow, but eventually becomes so satisfying with the main character imparting equal parts wisdom and petty spite at every turn. This is one manhwa I can't wait to read every week.

OMG! i love this manhwa so much! I started reading this on asurascans (english webtoon released it a couple of weeks after). I love stories of MC’s returning to the past or reincarnating and showing off their OP skills! 1 thing i wish that the MC (Chung Myung) had given his cultivation pills (which he no longer needs) to his Mount Hua sect disciples so they can become stronger. But he let get them get beat up by their rival sect.

its just so satisfying. and the art style is really good, although a bit cartoony for this sort of comic.

So, I encountered this story on WEBTOON, and I enjoyed it a lot so I started to see if there were additional releases online. Somehow, I had missed the fact that the manga site I most frequently use (Asura Scans) had been scanlating it. The next few chapters were extremely enjoyable to read. A few of the story elements are similar to volcanic age (murim, reincarnation of an important individual, learning in secret) and it’s just as enjoyable in both manhwas (I think they’re manhwas). (Also, just because they’re similar doesn’t mean they’re the same, both stories are completely unique and only share a few common tropes done well) As for the MC… I love him. Chung Myung, (I prefer Cheongmyong) is obviously a flat-arc MC, but unlike shounen flat arcs the MC isn’t stupid, does not make silly mistakes, is unafraid of killing, threatening, torture etc. In fact he seems to be the only character so far willing to be the bad guy. (The others are too young or too old) and completely contrary to what logan3 said, he never leaves a job unfinished. Recently he attacked a caravan of people who wronged Mt. Hua and were let off by the elder/ leader. Cheonmyong ended up killing the head of the caravan and letting the others go after taking all their wealth, however as a reader I personally couldn’t care weather he let them off or not since they’re probably never going to show up again and really didn’t deserve to die or anything(they were caught up in an overarching scheme.) Anyways, the MC’s personality also has another unique characteristic which is sadism. In comics usually sadism is used in training arcs for comedy, but I think it’s just part of this MC’s persona and I love it. The author is really great at comedy. Also(this is kind of a brain dump, sorry) the art is beautiful! It’s not the best of the best, but it’s clean and the scenery is gorgeous, same with the plum blossom moves of Mt Hua, which I’m excited to see more of. Anyways, I can almost guarantee this series is going to become something big so you should definitely read it and I hope you enjoy!
