"The Greatest Cultivator"

The name of a novel that has been published for 3 years straight in a row was known to almost everyone. This story has been successfully catching readers' attention from the very beginning through such ways as a bright, flashy-like cover and tags. And the number of chapters left all the readers in wonder whether the author was a real human being and not some kind of a typing machine. 2645 chapters of self-developing and the adventures of the main character. Oh – talking about him – the main character Bao Fayang – a man who had to face tough fate and luck. Just by chance, before his death demons give him an opportunity for resurrection in the past, in the time when he hadn't lost anything yet – when he was only 14. Resurrected and gained demonic powers and abilities, the main character began a new life, protecting all the people dearest to him in the past and in his current lives, killing those who had been causing trouble to him or to his closest friends with no mercy. At the end of the story, all enemies in both of his lives suffer in the infernal void with their souls doomed to not resurrect ever again. Fate overtook those who killed the parents of the main character and simply those who were bullying him in his study-days

Basically, it's just a simple story. It might seem like a regular story about a "manly man" who overcame all the terrible miseries and got a chance to start all over again, beating the crap out of everyone followed by a harem of beautiful ladies but it's no-o-o-ot. The reason why this corny-looking story become so popular is in the variety of plot twists and meticulosity of the world made. And the plot is not so corny as it can appear for the first time, and the twists are happening not only just for the sake of them – they are planned very well, and the author mentions the background hints not once, not twice, but a lot of times during the story flow. One of the first few sentences was directly connected with the biggest conspiracy which later triggered all the future adventures that the main character will experience, romantic relationships with a bunch of girls, and the becoming of Bao Fayang the greatest cultivator that the magic world had ever seen

Cool thing to read, ain't it? The coolest thing about it is that the novel was translated into my first language! I have read it in Chinese once – with Google translator but it doesn't matter. The thing is that when some folk started translating the novel, I started giving them money right away and even helping them where I could. No, I'm not a professional translator. I am just a person who fully read the fantasy wonderwork – so that I could easily and with no hesitations tell them which words they should translate word-for-word, which substitute with a synonym, and which can be understood only if one will use Wikipedia. Those translators began their work without reading the whole thing and because of that, they didn't know some of the things mentioned. Besides, they weren't introduced to the genre of xianxia before

When the translation of the last chapter telling about the main character who was going to announce his engagement with one of the girls was finally finished, I was on top of the world. Finally! The translation took almost 2 years and it's finally over! But, on the other hand, I was feeling kinda sad

And I've decided to re-read all the chapters once again. Since the time I had decided to do it, a week passed by. I was reading the 25th chapter – Bao Fayang was thinking about joining the Wind Cult. In this chapter, the main character was wondering whether he should join the cult known to most cultivators for its amazing and astonishing fighting technique. The fighting style of the sect is concentrated on rapid, unbreakable movements which are smooth enough to perform. The wind sect cultivators attack their enemies as if they were dancing. Their clothes are light-green and white, they also wear leather bracers with a metal symbol of the sect engraved. The symbol is a white circle that surrounds three light-green wind currents going from right to left with two of them curling up and one bending down
