About this listen
He left to see the world, but the world is a cruel master
Setting out to be a wandering cultivator, Sen has high ideals. Half-remembered stories of honorable cultivators and the kindness of his teachers shaped his expectations.
The world he finds is something else entirely. Thrust into deadly conflict, Sen finds himself fleeing the death of a sect cultivator in fear of retribution. As his flight carries him across the kingdom, he finds his ideals challenged by bandits, cultivators, and demon beasts.
In the city of Emperors Bay he will face the true crucible of his character and skills, and discover the harsh truth that violence is necessary to survive.

Still good.....first was better
If you enjoyed the first book, you will enjoy the second. It achieves everything the first book does and more. Still detailed cultivation, still well written characters, the protagonist is still witty and humous.
Not for the bad parts. I said there was very little action/fights in the first book. Well this book certainly resolved that, except in the worst ways. The protagonist is so OP for his level that all conflicts are solved easily, with just a single technique or strike. Most the fights are akin to mass slaughters rather than satisfying exchanges without any sort of purpose or stakes for the protagonist. Apparently taking on 7 highly trained Cultivators at his own level is......easy?
Then there is the protagonist himself. The book has a theme about Sen questioning the morales of killing and the futility of fighting, whilst he himself has less conviction than a leaf blowing in the wind.
Most of the story followers this path:
Sen - I hate fighting/killing is wrong - a Sect Cultivator mildy inconveniences him - Well time to kill them instantly - oh no, now the whole sect is after me, sects are the worst, its so unfair - murder 8+ Sect members and make it seem like their fault - I hate fighting/killing is wrong. Repeat ad nausea.
The main character makes every possible wrong choice and forgives himself because "he's learning" or "that's just the cultivation world" wilst still maintaining the morale high ground. Then if anyone truly theatens him, or calls him out on his awful morals, he just mentions his masters name. Everyone instantly forgives him through fear and he gets away consequence free.
It's makes him genuinely unlikeable and worryingly psychopathic at times. The written redeems him by making him kind, generous and funny at other times, but it's a worrying trend. I can see myself giving up on the series if this continues.

Damn I didn't want this to end.
Start to finish the 2nd book just makes me like the world, story and the MC himself, I just love how he tries to stick with his ideals yet the ruthless world always throws something to challenge it, I also love the constant self reflection which is always been missing with cultivation stories, how it is conveying enlightenment to progress his cultivation. it also isn't steamrolling his cultivation to absurd heights, the battles he faces are 1 part one sided yet others can be life threatening. He isn't the all powerful OP MC but he IS strong. I hope when book 3 is released it will soon be followed up on Audible.
